Harden's survey result
Summary
“Wonderfully scented dishes” are “delicately and expertly prepared” at JKS Restaurants’ exceptional Marylebone flagship, just off the high street, which fans claim “surpasses the Indian original” in Mumbai (which inspired it). But while its culinary performance impressively lives up to its reputation, perceptions of its “oddly shaped and slightly claustrophobic” premises are deteriorating. Top Menu Tip – “definitely get the Duck Keema Naan if it’s on the menu”.
Summary
“Absolutely flawless…”, “exceptional and memorable…”, “consistently superb” – the superlatives just keep coming for JKS Restaurants’ original venture, which scores just as highly as its sibling, Gymkhana, even if the latter is much better known nowadays. It’s a cosy and “upscale” experience, set in quirky U-shaped premises, off Marylebone High Street, and enlivened by “discreet and friendly” staff. Top Menu Tips – “don’t leave without trying the lamb chops”; “mushroom biryani is a standout”; and “crazy as it may sound for a mere piece of bread, the duck keema naan is a real highlight.”
Summary
“Simply brilliant food that just blows your socks off” – “posh curry, but not too mucked about with” – continues to wow at JKS restaurant’s original Marylebone venture, which remains one of London’s top destinations for “top notch” Indian cuisine. (“Excellent home delivery meal boxes” are also a feature.) Its modestly sized, U-shaped premises are slightly constrained by their layout, but for most reporters the effect is “lovely and intimate”.
Summary
“Original, flavour-packed and utterly delicious” – the cuisine at Karam Sethi’s original Marylebone venture (the first in the JKS stable) is a fine homage to the Mumbai venue from which it takes its name, and even if “sister-restaurant Gymkhana has the edge” nowadays, it remains one of the capital’s top Indian destinations. It’s “really buzzy when full” (to an extent one or two reporters find “disturbing” of enjoyment).
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).
