Harden's says
Punjabi and South Indian cuisine from chef Dipna Anand, who co-owns Brilliant in Southall that was set up by her father and uncle.
Harden's survey result
Summary
Within glorious Somerset House, Dipna Anand (part of the family who founded the famous Brilliant Restaurant in Southall) took over this stately, traditional chamber last year, and mostly earned recommendations for its Indian cuisine. Not all reports were 100% positive, though, and in summer 2023 it underwent a temporary closure (with re-opening slated for early September 2023).
Summary
A “great location” in Somerset House provides a grand setting for this new central London offshoot from the venerable Brilliant, a leading light among the Indian restaurants of Southall – Dipna Anand is the niece of the founder. Early reports are all positive on the food front.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
