Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Curry Room offers an "exceptional meal" with "old world luxury" ambiance and "impeccable" service. Chef Kumar's food and Mr. Mohan's hospitality are highlights. While some found it pricey or expected more, dishes like the Butter Chicken and Ginger Orange Brûlée Rice Pudding are "spectacular." A "hidden gem" in London.

    We had a lovely pre-theatre dinner here last Friday. The service was excellent, the ambience was intimate and welcoming and the food was tasty, fresh and well presented. It was a delight to dine here. Thank you.

    This was one of our finest dining experiences in London. And that is saying something as London ding is over the top. Mahan was our server and really guided us through a most remarkable dining experience. From cocktails to dinner to wine it was fabulous! If you eat there, trust your server!

    Just not worth the money. Portion Sizes like Tapas. Food was bland, cut of meats questionable. Attentive service but maybe that’s because they probably cant believe themselves what customers have to pay. Drinks horrendously spenny too.

I do hope that we have the opportunity to welcome you back one day for a more positive experience. Warm regards, Malcolm Hendry, Managing Director.

    We had a wonderful meal at The Curry Room- I very highly recommend and we will be returning again soon! Treat yourself to an exceptional meal here- from the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty! The atmosphere is old world luxury, the food is devine and the service was impeccable! Chef and staff went above and beyond to accommodate our party of 6 - and the food was the best Indian I’ve ever eaten. This place is a hidden gem and well worth every pound spent!

    Good Indian food. A bit pricey. Atmosphere nice. Thought they had an à la carte menu but we were only given the fixed price one.
