This grand Indian near Gloucester Road tube station was famous in the late 1980s, and nowadays has achieved a respectable semi-obscurity. Now owned by India’s swish Taj Hotels group, all reports rate it well, and fans say it’s been “year-in, year-out enjoyable” for four decades.

“Solid and reliable”, plush Indian veteran in South Kensington that celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, and still earns consistently good marks for its cooking. Now owned by Taj Hotels, it has a spacious glassed-in terrace and spruced-up decor, although some long-time regulars preferred it “when the atmosphere was more Indian Raj”.

This upmarket fixture in South Kensington – on the Indian dining scene in London since 1982 – doesn’t make waves nowadays, but still earns solid praise by producing consistently “very good food”. Current owner Taj Hotels have spruced up the interior, although the odd reporter is “not keen on the current look”.

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).
