Had a great meal here. Busy even in January, but they made us welcome and found us a table. Efficient and friendly service, and the food was all excellent, especially the Bahari Lamb. Would highly recommend.

Went here for the first time last week and I already know we're about to be regulars such a great find! They were super accommodating when my husband and I asked if we could eat outdoors on a cold January night (they have overhead heat lamps!), and they were able to accommodate my multiple dietary restrictions and allergies. Also love that they can customize any dish how you like it as long as you ask. The food all tasted fresh and we both loved the house special sabzi if you're looking for a delicious vegetarian main.

There is no India Restaurant that compares to the food you get at this one. The Staff are proud of their food and they will ensure you have the best experience possible. The Chef came to our table to ensure we were enjoying his exclusive dish, I have never been catered for in such a way.

We ate 3 mains ,3 sides and 2 starters - nothing was good. The food was not fresh , the restaurant empty during Sunday lunch. The service is good and the decor is nice. I would not recommend.

We absolutely love this family-run restaurant! I went there with my boyfriend the first time this evening and we definitely gonna go there whenever in London from now on. We have been looking for a new favourite Indian place for ages as the one we used to go closed down. Thanks To Misan and the whole team we had a wonderful dinner which we enjoyed to the max. Every single dish was good and super authentic
