A special thank you to Araw and Vivek for their warm service and hospitality throughout the meal. They made the experience even more enjoyable and welcoming.
The lamb was excellent, although slightly spicy for our taste, but it still tasted amazing and felt very authentic. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience and definitely a place worth visiting if you are in London. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful dinner at Kutir and opted for the Chef’s Selection Menu. Every course felt carefully considered, with flavours that were layered and balanced rather than overpowering.
The dishes were refined and subtle, allowing the ingredients and spices to complement each other beautifully. The Dum Aloo Makhani was particularly memorable — rich yet restrained, and full of depth. The mains were equally impressive, slow-cooked and aromatic without being heavy.
Set near a private house, you ring the bell at the front and then someone will greet you by the door. They take your jackets to their cloakroom which was nice.
We went for their lunch/dinner set menu, which was £35pp + cost of drinks on top. We chose the prawn masala and shami kebab as a starter. Then the sea bass neelgiri and goat green peppercorn for mains and the chocolate peanut fudge cake. Loved every single dish they served, bringing out different flavours and tastes to every dish. Meat and fish was tender
Chocolate was really nice and smooth and was served with a fried peanut ice cream.
Really nice and polite service. Though on a bit of the pricier side, it’s worth the experience.
Prawn: Lightly fried on the outside, with a mildly spicy flavor that isn’t too strong. A squeeze of lemon adds a nice touch of freshness!
Quail Naan – Truffle: The truffle aroma was incredibly rich, and the scrambled egg on top was soft and creamy!
Sea Bass: I had this before and loved it again this time. The curry sauce was flavorful and fresh, the fish was tender, and the sauce went perfectly with rice.
Goat – Green Peppercorn: The slow-cooked goat was tender and not gamey at all.
For dessert, I chose the sorbet, which was sweet and tangy. The other dessert plate had several flavors; the chocolate one was silky smooth, sweet but not heavy, and very tasty.
The set menu is perfect for a casual lunch.

The variety of vegetarian friendly dishes is also honorable.
We both went with the tasting menus — she chose the vegetarian and I went with the signature — and added the wine pairing. Every course looked beautiful and tasted great. We were so into the food and conversation that we actually forgot to take photos, which says a lot.
The environment was very peaceful and cozy, and it felt perfect for a date night or a special occasion without being too formal or stiff.
Our server was extremely warm and jolly, and she explained each dish really well. She even brought out some small treats and a birthday card, which was such a thoughtful touch. I wish I remembered her name so I could give her a proper shout-out.
I’m pretty sure the regular menu would be just as good. We’ll definitely be coming back on our next London trip.
From Sloane Square, you walk to a quiet corner of Chelsea and ring a peacock-green doorbell. Inside, the staff take your coat and bag, ask how your day has been, and lead you to your table. Candlelight and low lighting soften everything — including our expressions — especially knowing we were about to enjoy a beautifully composed £35 set lunch in a neighbourhood where spending £100+ per person is the norm.
“Still or sparkling water?”
After a brief 0.1-second pause, I replied naturally:
“Tap water is fine, thank you.”
We exchanged a knowing smile and settled into a corner sofa near the entrance. The Linner Menu arrived. A fresh mango lassi opened the meal, followed by masala prawns in coconut sauce — sweet onions and nutty notes making them wonderfully fragrant. The venison, often tricky as game, was handled perfectly with a classic yoghurt-based sauce, completely free of any gaminess.
For mains, the meal unfolded generously: a beautifully charred sea bass, slow-cooked goat curry rich and comforting, tarka dal, naan and fragrant rice. We added a white truffle naan, so aromatic that its scent reached us before the plate did.
Having lived in the UK for two years, I’ve tried many Indian restaurants. Dishoom is solid but hard to justify an hour’s queue for a chain; Gunpowder has Michelin credentials but lacks a sense of comfort; Kricket is good, yet often falls into London’s familiar trap of being overpriced for what it is. Kutir, however, feels complete — location, food, service, atmosphere and price all in balance. It’s equally suited for a date or as a thoughtful way to treat yourself.
The interiors — peacock motifs, vines, silk-textured walls, gleaming tables, high ceilings and large windows — feel refined without being intimidating. But the true luxury here is the service. There is no sense of hierarchy or judgement. Whether it’s a well-heeled couple sharing a fine bottle of wine, elegantly dressed women celebrating, a mother and daughter taking birthday photos, or young diners like us ordering the set menu with tap water — everyone is treated with the same warmth and attentiveness.
At one point, as I joked about my companion drinking water far too quickly, a member of staff came over to apologise, worried that they hadn’t topped us up fast enough. We quickly reassured them. That moment said everything: the service here isn’t tied to how much you spend, but to a genuine instinct to host and to care. This, to me, is the level of hospitality that truly justifies Britain’s unspoken tipping culture.
Highly recommended.
