Harden's survey result
Summary
“Not your typical Indian restaurant” – this inviting colonial-style villa is a beacon of the outer southwest ’burbs sitting just back from the Thames. The “lovely food” from a menu offering a “good range of choices” wins a very positive thumbs-up in this year’s survey. It was founded by owner Bhanu Pratap 16 years ago.
Summary
“Contemporary Indian cooking with flair and finesse” makes for an attractive dining option in the outer ’burbs at this colonial-style villa – a sister venue to Manor Vasaikar’s highly regarded Indian Zing, near Hammersmith. “The taste-stimulating amuse bouche to kick-off is definitely a harbinger of things to come” – (and “the loo decor must be seen...”).
Summary
“A true gem in our neighbourhood” – Manoj Vaskaikar’s colonial-style villa remains one of the top destinations in the outer ’burbs and is located in an attractive part of Sunbury. All reports applaud its “very good food”.
Summary
“Very much a cut above the usual high street Indian restaurant” – Bhanu Pratap's “elegant” colonial-style villa is a “smart venture in the old part of Sunbury”. The food is “top notch” – a “good range of freshly prepared dishes” and “good value for money” too.
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).
