The overall experience was good. There were seven of us, including one vegetarian. For the non-vegitarians the food was good, except for one who chose scallops and found them to be tasteless lost in the sauce, however, the vegetarian commented that his food was poor. A minor, but annoying, side note: We ordered poppadoms for the table, two per head. This turned out to be two half poppadoms which was pretty annoying for all.

We had a team dinner (20 of us) and Chatora was a hit! The menu was fantastic and the owner accommodated different tastes and alterations without hesitation. Service was quite fast given our table size but we were not at all rushed. We will be coming back soon.

11/10 experience. The food was absolutely incredible - some of the best Indian food I've ever had. It strided the line of inventive yet traditional flawlessly, and was easily better than what we normally have access to back in NYC. Probably going to buy Vivek Singh's cookbook now honestly. Also, the staff was lovely. Great service, and very attentive despite a full house (not too loud surprisingly, and wonderful ambiance by the way. My server even helped me surprise my partner for our anniversary. I came here on a whim on a travel day, and will definitely be coming back every time I am in London from now on. Thank you all so much!
