Veeraswamy isn’t just the oldest Indian restaurant in the UK; it’s arguably one of the best. Located in a prime spot overlooking Regent Street, the entire experience from start to finish was impeccable.
The Food:
Every dish was a masterclass in regional Indian flavors.
• The Raj Kachori was a vibrant, crunchy explosion of pomegranate and tangy chutneys.
• The Lamb Shank (Nalli Gosht) was incredibly tender, falling off the bone into a rich, velvety gravy topped with toasted almonds.
• The Paneer Tikka was perfectly charred, and the cocktails (try the one with the cinnamon stick!) were inventive and beautifully balanced.
The Service:
Truly world-class. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and makes you feel like royalty without being overbearing.
The Vibe:
Stunning decor and a historic atmosphere. In an industry that changes every day, Veeraswamy is a survivor. I truly hope they continue to brave the storm—here’s to another 100 years of excellence!

Highly recommend for: Special occasions, fine dining, and anyone wanting to taste the history of London’s spice trade.

Veeraswamy is an unforgettable dining experience in London. Located on Regent Street, the restaurant has incredible history, beautiful ambiance, and a very upscale feel, all while staying warm and welcoming.

I booked this place with a friend for my birthday dinner, and to my surprise they made it extra special by bringing out a birthday card along with a small cake. Such a thoughtful touch.

The food was outstanding. Loved the tikka and beetroot tikka appetizers, and honestly every dish we tried was excellent. The drink selection was great as well and paired perfectly with the meal.

Yes, it’s expensive, but absolutely worth it for the food, the experience, and the heritage that comes with it. Nearly 100 years of history is no small thing for a restaurant, and you really feel that legacy when you dine here.

A must-visit for anyone looking for refined Indian cuisine with history and character.

The oldest Indian restaurant in London but despite it’s age, it’s kept up with the times giving modern takes on older dishes. The food is great and portion sizes are not pretentious (but not as much as you’d get from a standard Indian restaurant) although the dessert portion sizes were small. We enjoyed the crab biryani the most. Overall, most of the dishes were tasty but I found I spent way more than I expected to here. It didn’t feel like good value for money. It was a great experience and I’m glad to have tried it but I’m unlikely to return.

Such a wonderful tasting menu and of course very good value for money in Central London. I didn’t eat Indian food often so I couldn’t say much about authenticity, but for sure the menu was well choreographed for a culinary experience for anyone from any food background. The curries were adventurous for me and I liked them all. Food portion was generous with a very good protein share. This is super important for me to maintain a good diet even eating out sometimes. Service was attentive and explanation was clear and succinct. Showcased a variety of culinary techniques and passion of cooking.

The food is absolutely incredible. The atmosphere is great although the restaurant is beginning to show its age. Service is overall great. Staff are so very polite. But the start of the show is the food. It will absolutely blow your mind. Don’t miss the soup and specially the deserts.

Extraordinary experience! Besides dining in a 100 years old Indian restaurant in the city center of London, which already is a thing, the atmosphere is charming, warm and made us feel very comfortable. The food was delicious and the people working there were very friendly and helpful, giving us suggestions on the menu. We dined there for our 7th anniversary, and as the cherry on the cake, they gave us a dessert to bring our celebration to the top. We are not based in the UK, but we’ll surely try to pop there every time we pop to London.

All of us did the tasting menu and were impressed with the portion sizes. I was a little disappointed in the overall flavors of the food, they did not stand out and seemed more dull than typical Indian restaurant food. Perhaps they are used to catering to tourists with less developed palates for spice. Loved the decor and service, but the bathroom was a bit of a mess. Wanted to love it, but it was just okay.

What a spectacular experience. From the food to the decor, we found Veraswamy lived up to our every expectation. Although the food quantity is limited; the quality in the food makes up for every bite. We truly found the Butter Chicken Au Vin to be the best version of butter chicken we have ever had, be sure to get this no matter your party size even if it’s just for the taste. Worth making the trip here, it truly is a once in a lifetime experience.

Visited the regent street location for my 40th birthday. Food was overall just ok. We have the £95 each tasting menu. The tiger prawn starter was amazing and the chicken tikka was very good. The menu was let down by the main. The 4 Currys were pretty bland. The butter chicken with red wine was actually pretty bad. Was almost inedible. Service was great, but won’t be a returning customer. When you have a bill for almost £400 you expect more of a wow factor.

Brilliant dining experience – Weekend Lunch Menu

Servers were friendly and attentive making sure they double checked allergens. All dishes were bursting in flavour, beautifully plated and left us full and satisfied. Can particularly recommend the spicy paneer starter and butter chicken main.

A Michelin 3 course for £48 – can only recommend
