Knightsbridge, Indian Restaurant Guide

“Fabulous Indian cuisine… beautiful to look at… sensational to taste”: so say early fans of this large new opening on chichi Beauchamp Place, off Knightsbridge: “a three-floor townhouse restaurant, from the team that brought you the rather good Kutir, with chef Rohit Ghai”. All feedback in our survey is a rave and we’ve marked accordingly (“combinations of colours, textures and flavours are of the very highest quality” and “served by delightful and attentive, but unobtrusive, staff in a very stylish setting”). A couple of newspaper reviews suggest some potential for variability though. In his November 2024 review, the Standard’s David Ellis scored both hits (“cashmere soft” lamb chops; “addictive” fried prawns) and misses (“indifferent” duck and scallops in a “grey puddle of who-knows-what”). And in her February 2025 review, the Guardian’s Grace Dent stuck her critic’s knife into what she saw as a “fancy-pants” new venue (“I’d rather be rescued from the Mera Peak with missing toes than eat there again”. Ouch.)
