Great find, with delicious food. All tasted fresh and well cooked. Friendly service. Only negative is the ambience of the room. Could help with dimmer lighting and a more Indian vibe. Would definitely return and recommend.

Food is excellent. Everything we tried was delicious. Biryani lamb was tender and full of flavor. Very good mango lassi and interesting choice of cider – mango. Staff is super helpful.

Tried their mutton biryani and absolutely loved it – rich flavor, tender meat, and a very generous portion. Also had garlic naan, mushroom rice, jeera rice, and pyaazi bindi – all were well made. The portions of the mushroom rice and jeera rice were a bit on the smaller side, but reasonable for the price.

The menu overall felt slightly pricey, though understandable since the restaurant’s located near a prime London tourist spot. They have a glass-partitioned kitchen, which is nice to see – but it was a bit uncomfortable noticing that none of the staff inside were wearing head covers. Small detail, but it matters for hygiene.

One more thing – we weren’t shown the bill beforehand. The staff just brought the card machine straight to the table for payment, and we only got to see the total after tapping. Not ideal, as customers should get a chance to check the bill before paying. (Taking a star to highlight this issue)

Would’ve been an easy 5-star experience if these small details were handled better. Still, the food (especially the biryani) is top-notch and worth a visit.

Unfortunately, our experience did not reflect the level of hospitality the restaurant promotes.

We stopped by for tea and samosas, but the reaction from staff made us feel uncomfortable about placing a small order. As these items are listed as standalone options on the menu, guests should feel equally welcome whether ordering snacks or a full meal.

There were also moments that felt unnecessarily judgmental. When we split the bill, we were asked if we were students in a tone that felt presumptive. How guests choose to pay should not invite commentary, as long as payment is made through accepted methods.

When we asked to use the restroom, we were told to “use the receipt,” with unusual emphasis. While we understand policies requiring proof of purchase, the tone felt discourteous rather than professional. Clear policies are completely acceptable — delivery and tone make the difference.

On another occasion, a guest at a nearby table simply asked if fries were available. The server responded in a way that felt unnecessarily corrective when clarifying the type of fries (mushroom or french). Of course when a normal human asks for fries they mean potato french fries. There is no need to lay emphasis on saying oh you mean french fries with a dismissive look. It came across as demeaning rather than helpful.

Overall, the service felt unwelcoming, judgemental and overly underwhelming in a way that did not create a comfortable atmosphere. Hospitality should feel respectful, neutral, and inclusive to all guests.

That said, special mention to Khim, who kindly held the door for us and waved goodbye, even while on a break. His gesture was appreciated.

We hope this feedback is taken constructively.

In service industry, you don’t profile guests on their faces. Especially in Indian hospitality which is world famous for being guest centric, you never talk down on a guest. Really really disheartened and disappointed.

Delicious Indian meals, with a variety of options for both veg and non veg food. Perfectly spiced and flavourful. Courteous and friendly service. Very reasonably priced as well. Recommend to stop by for a good meal if you’re in the area.

It was a wonderful experience visiting kitchen India. Host Anand is welcoming and warm. Hostess shristi is kind and attentive. I wish her all the best for her future. I felt at home and will visit again whenever I am in London. Food is top notch.

One of the best Indian foods I have had, and surprisingly around London Eye, Westminster area the most touristy in London. The chef is a renowned person, with resume including some well known establishments of London! Khilesh Anand was friendly and personally came to our table to get the feedback.

The Mutton biryani was one of the best we have had in London, and best in ages. Garlic Naan with chicken gravy. One of the most authentic Indian foods. My mother ordered a vegetarian dish, which was equally delicious for a non vegetarian like me to go back again and agin to, despite biryani in my plate 😀
We were licking our fingers after that biryani, those from India could relate.:D

The service was decent, but I get it, when we visited the place was busy. But also that this place is not a high end fine dine Indian restaurant with permanent staff.

The restaurant has a communal eating place vibe,a theme of a typical restaurant in India, which highlights the authenticity of flavours.

If around the area, would def recommend to have a flavourful Indian meal after a tiring day walking along the Big Ben, Houses of Parliament or scenic view from the top of London eye!

We were looking for Indian food near the hotel we were staying in near Waterloo station, Kitchen India popped up and we decided to give it a try. It’s not a huge place but has a very nice atmosphere, the service was very good with pleaseant smiling people and the food was excellent. Hot, tasty and very nicely presented. All in all this is a noce family place with good food good service and reasonable prices. Book ahead !

Stumbled into Kitchen India after a long travel day and followed my nose (and a very well-placed sign) right to Kitchen India. I was starving and just needed a little something before dinner later with my husband. Ordered a couple starters and they were so tasty. Even though they were closing, the kindest staff welcomed me in—and Anand actually invited me to join their staff meal. I was already full but couldn’t resist… the food was incredible. Seriously some of the most authentic, delicious Indian flavors I’ve ever had. Wish I had a bigger stomach!
