After reading all of the reviews and seeing the awards, I was hugely disappointed with the curry. The medium and mild curry we shared had very little flavour and the chicken was not your usual slice with a spoon experience I expect from Indian restaurants. The price was also severely overpriced and the experience we were left with didnt equal the price paid. The leather of the furniture was also worn away and it was very cold so an overall unfortunate experience. I wouldnt recommend.

My partner and I went with another couple expecting a lovely dining experience considering the amount of awards and news coverage Prana has received, but got met with utter disappointed. The food was bland and tasteless, the servers were uninterested and rude, the food horribly overpriced, and the overall experience was just absolutely rubbish. I cant even slightly recommend this place, and you would do well to avoid it.

The food was OK. The staff were pleasant enough. But the prices are MAD. We had a similar standard of curry at a place by the Royal Albert Hall a month ago. We paid 20% less there than we did at Prana. Nice enough place but not worth the premium they charge

We have eaten at Prana a number of times now, in the restaurant before the covid-19 pandemic and with takeaways since. Most recently was 7 January. They have never let us down, either with service or with the food. I particularly recommend the lamb shank and the chicken korma is a hit with our daughter, but we have in the past had other dishes which we also thoroughly enjoyed. The takeaway service is good; our order has invariably been ready for us to collect from the entrance to the restaurant at the time requested - or even before. Thoroughly recommended!

Can't give no stars.
Overpriced rip off.
Having eaten in many many restaurants for many years, the price of the food bears no relation to the quality of food.
Honestly. I've eaten food that tasted twice as good for half their price. The lamb dish was devoid of flavour. Service charge ridiculous.
Complained to baseball hatted manager who obviously has fenced off complaints before, defensive and full of irrelevant excuses, he was uninterested that I and my two friends were massively dissatisfied with the food and its price. Avoid like the plaque. I'd rather nail my own pelvis to a cake stand
