The location is iconic and the atmosphere was wonderfully relaxed. Pronoy served us and really looked after our table. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious, and we didn’t have to wait long for our meals. We had a great time definitely value for money. I’m a tea person, and I loved the presentation of my tea at the end as well.

A wonderful dining experience from beginning to end.
Keerthana delivered outstanding service with genuine care and professionalism. She understood my dietary needs, confirmed details directly with the chef, and suggested excellent alternatives that suited me perfectly. Her knowledge of the menu and attention to detail were impressive.

She engaged at the right moments while maintaining a comfortable sense of privacy. Ankit also stopped by to check on us, which made the experience feel personal and valued.

Overall, it was a smooth, satisfying, and pleasantly surprising evening.

An Evening at Leicester Square Kitchen
Radisson Blu Leicester Square HotelDecember 29, 2025

Leicester Square Kitchen occupies that rare space where theatrical location meets genuine culinary confidence. Nestled within the Radisson Blu, this dining room eschews the usual West End tourist trap mediocrity for something considerably more sophisticated.
The interior strikes an immediate chord—a dramatic statement wall of charcoal brick punctuated by scattered lighter tiles, creating an effect reminiscent of stars against a night sky. It’s bold without being bombastic, providing an urbane backdrop that somehow manages to make fellow diners appear more interesting than they might actually be. Though, in fairness, last night’s crowd genuinely were—the sort of animated, engaged company that transforms a meal into an occasion.
Our server, Keerthana, demonstrated that most elusive of hospitality virtues: she was present without being intrusive, knowledgeable without being pedantic. Her recommendations carried the weight of someone who actually tastes what she serves, and her timing throughout the evening was impeccable. In an industry where good service has become alarmingly rare, she reminded us what it looks like when done properly.
To the food: the whole roasted seabream arrived with a magnificent char, the flesh yielding and sweet beneath its chilli-spiked crust, accompanied by a vibrant tangle of purple slaw that provided both colour and clever counterpoint. This was confident cooking—the kind that doesn’t need to shout its accomplishments. The croquettes (I suspect these were the kitchen’s own creation) achieved that crucial textural balance between exterior crunch and molten interior, elevated by a judicious squeeze of charred lime.
Even the roasted cauliflower transcended its fashionable-vegetable status, arriving with enough char and seasoning to stand as a dish in its own right rather than virtuous afterthought.
The 2024 Bottega Pinot Grigio from delle Venize proved an astute pairing—crisp, clean, and sufficiently food-friendly to navigate from the richness of fried items to the delicacy of the seabream without losing its way.
Leicester Square Kitchen succeeds because it understands something fundamental: location is not destiny. While lesser establishments coast on proximity to theatres, this kitchen actually cooks. Combined with Keerthana’s exemplary service and a room that manages to feel both contemporary and comfortable, it offers something West End diners badly need—a genuine reason to arrive early rather than dash in for a pre-curtain necessity.
Rating: ★★★★☆
Worth returning for: The seabream, Keerthana’s service, the convivial atmosphereNote: Service charge discretionary at 12.5%—and in this case, earned

We visited Leicester Square Kitchen for a private group birthday of 26 people in February 2026 and the food was delicious, flavourful and nicely plated. A bit spicy for the teenagers, but we all really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was nice, enough lighting, location in Leicester Square was lively and easy to find. Staff were polite and helpful in trying to ensure our requests were addressed. A tiny bit slow on service but other than that we had a great time and really appreciated the attentive communication leading up to the booking from the team. Would highly recommend this restaurant for group bookings or for dining in London!

We booked here because the set menu looked good, but in hindsight it would’ve been better to order normal menu. The mains in the set menu were really underwhelming, so I wouldn’t recommend it.

Has this happened to you that you see signs but simply putting them aside because you made up your mind based on some pre-determined criteria like reviews and ratings? Well; this is what happened to me this evening.
I found this restaurant in TripAdvisor. The restaurant rating is #43 in 22,627, so your expectation and excitement is raised quite high.
I jumped to fork to book a table and saw that there are empty tables from 5:30PM right to the closing time on Saturday evening (sign#1). It also offered 20% discounts for all the time slots for a high-rated restaurant in London (sign#2). I booked anyway!
When arrived, we were ushered to our table. I checked the wine menu and selected a Pinot Noir from Roussillon. My wife requested a suggestion from the waitress and she replied “I don’t drink, so I don’t know” (sign#3). She brought my wine carafe that I ordered but didn’t bring the bottle so I check the wine and the year (sign#4). The carafe was dirty and the wine was warmer than it should and the glass was not for Pinot (sign#5). Please check the pictures I attached. From this point on, it was clear that we made a mistake in relying on the reviews and the rating. They brought the starter before my wife’s drink arrived (sign#6). They brought my wife’s drink which she had a sip only and that was it. They brought my steak and listen to this one; they didn’t bring me a steak knife. When I asked for a steak knife, they said they don’t have one and the steak is already cut, so no need !!!! So they’ve already decided on the bite size that I have to eat (sign#?). The cutlery was amazing; short and light. We left the restaurant after paying £150 for the dinner I described. Don’t remind me my mistakes, but with respect, who were the other 2,600 people reviewing this restaurant?
The sparkling water was good; it was genuine Pellegrino.

We had such a lovely meal today with my son, and I just wanted to say a special thank you to Marco. From the moment we arrived, Marco was incredibly welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. He went out of his way to make my son feel comfortable and included, which made the whole experience really memorable for him.

It was heartwarming to see someone take such care and pride in their service, and it truly made our visit extra special. Thank you, Marco, for your warmth, patience, and wonderful service today; we really appreciated it.

This is a place that’s in plain sight in Leicester Square but somehow, still easy to miss. Happened upon it on a quiet Monday night and would highly recommended for the ribeye and soft tacos . The ribeye had the perfect doneness and the soft taco was full of smokey flavour. Clean, modern atmosphere with friendly service. There is also a bar inside that seemed to be busy with margaritas.

I went to the restaurant with my colleagues for a team dinner. I had quite a few questions before booking as a few people in our group had dietary requests. The reservations team (special thanks to Chonticha) were very responsive and handled everything very kindly and politely. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the service was amazing! It was seamless. Real professionals and a very polite team. Thank you to Marco, who seemed to be orchestrating the entire evening, and the rest of the team! The food was really nice and there were loads of great options even for a group of people with loads of different dietary requests. Thank you!
