First Michelin Star Experience: Had lunch with friends at Veeraswamy, and there's no strict dress code for lunch, just smart casual—so no tracksuits, torn jeans, or baseball caps, and try to avoid bringing backpacks if possible. The food was fantastic, truly up to the Michelin star standard, with impeccable presentation. My most favourite one was the lamb chops. Why am I saying this? Probably lamb chops cooked in an Indian style is to live for and die for. I also enjoyed the Pineapple juice, it was probably the best one I'll have till I die. Overall, we had a delightful meal, and the staff were very polite. The desserts were good, though not quite on par with other Michelin star restaurants per my friend's thoughts. This was my first Michelin star experience, and I'm looking forward to many more in the future. PS: Children under 10 are strictly not allowed.
We were having a celebratory meal here and it was fantastic! The ambience and atmosphere was great - the history displayed across the walls & the decor was on point. The team were very attentive and there was a good pace to service as well. The food itself, was bursting with flavour - a good level of spice in all of the dishes we tried & the chutneys as well! Not forgetting one of the drinks too - spicy! It was lovely when they bought out a chocolate ganache with a candle prior to dessert to celebrate our occasion too - a really nice touch. Whilst it's expensive it's Michellin!, completely worth the price!
We visited this in Aug-24. It was for a birthday meal. The service was great and the restaurant looked better when the sun was setting and they turned the lighting on, as it had more of a romantic feel. The service was great and cannot complain. The waiter was very helpful and gave advice and also was on hand to deal with everything. We ordered multiple dishes, wanting to try a variety and the waiter did inform us how much we needed but as we mentioned we wanted to try a variety of dishes he understood. Any leftover food we took home and they packed it for us. Overall the food was lovely, however their lamb Chops wasn't as we expected vs other same calibre restaurants. It came with a sauce which we didn't expect. They had a nice biryani and the Momos had a twist but also a slight chilli kick not too much though. Total cost 2 people - £268.88 Great experience, great food, great evening and great restaurant. I would recommend and come back here. A bit on the pricey side vs equivalent restaurants, so not 100% it's full value for money, but definitely worth a visit.
Our experience here was very underwhelming. I had very high hopes from this restaurant given that it’s the oldest Indian restaurant and has a Michelin star, but found it to be very disappointing. The food was below average, the service was okay and the ambiance was good. We went for the weekend lunch and got the 3 course lunch. The appetizers were good but I cannot emphasize enough on how bad the mains and desserts were. The chicken mumtazi could have passed off as a dessert and the paneer was just okay. The desserts were below average and extremely sweet. I have never eaten at a Michelin star restaurant before this and been this disappointed. Would not recommend
We had a celebratory dinner at Veeraswamy for my parent’s anniversary. This is a great flagship restaurant not going to lie, I felt astonished by the interior more than the food under the India Collection. The oldest Indian restaurant in London and possibly in the entire UK. But don’t get me wrong, the food is delicious indeed but not as quite on par with the price levels. Starters are a bit pricey for an Indian restaurant compared to its sister’s restaurant Masala Zone and some of its relatively cheaper competitors. Also where I live I can easily get access to lots of Indian food options within a few mins away. Hence it wasn’t that authentic as I felt, just a cool clever branded restaurant. Go for the experience regardless. Mains were limited to basically duck, chicken and just one-two fish and lamb dishes. The food options felt basic, dessert menu was quite interesting because it sounded very authentic and locally Indian than the mains and starters. However, the menu selection does offer vegetarian and Halal options. The options are great in size for the table to share. The place has a ton of history. The decoration highlights this and adds to the atmosphere of the place. The staff were polite and welcoming. They knew the menu very well and were able to help with questions and selection. It is pricey for a reason it’s a Michelin starred and we spend £278 so do bear this in mind before stepping in this ostentatious place. Again, the price may not reflect on the quality of the food standards, but it’s a worth an adventure to encounter. You’ll be looked after well, the waiters are very friendly and approachable. Not the usual crowd you’ll notice in other basic Indian restaurant elsewhere in London.
Michelin-starred for a reason. History lives through first Indian restaurant in London this vibrant, colored hotspot for deep flavors that still maintain modern relevance. Private dining rooms available for reservation. You’d be a saint for booking company or friends here. Must try.
Lovely restaurant- fine dining Indian in the heart of Soho. We went here for a pre-theatre meal which was delicious with generous portions. Excellent bar and drinks too.Food: 5/5
Fantastic, friendly service, delicious food and authentic surroundings made a birthday celebration extra special! I had the wonderfully potent 1926 cocktail, beautifully spiced Vegetarian Silver Crescent and gorgeous banana toffee kulfi - perfect! Other recommendations from our table were the Lampreis, Patiala Shahi Raan Encroute and Chettinad Roast Potatoes. Will be back for another celebration meal!
A British modern take on Indian. It is not cheap but well worth it for a special evening out. The scallops for a starter was great even though it was spicy but not too hot. The lamb shank was melt in the mouth and flavorful. Black carrot dessert as a flambé.Food: 5/5
Wonderful dishes, full of spices and flavours. Highly recommend the butter chicken. But everything we had was greatFood: 5/5
