Hands down the best Indian meal I have ever had. In London for a wedding and friends strongly suggested we go to Chutney Mary's. Wow. You need reservations so plan in advance. It is also expensive (5 people with one round of drinks + service was over GBP 400. But HANDS DOWN WORTH IT. We actually may go back for lunch later this week Plates we would recommend - the artichoke hearts were amazing, the chili lobster, the curry shrimp and the butter chicken. I order butter chicken / tikka masala everytime I have Indian food just to compare and this was the best I have ever had. Highly Recommend.

Chocolate dessert.

When you find yourself in London, and are searching for a dining experience, make a reservation at Chutney Mary. The ambiance of the bar area, through to the dining room is one of sophisticated elegance. Our server Sunit is a true professional, and made us feel at home, treated us like VIPs. Of course, we started with cocktails. For my wife, a gin martini, beers for my son and me. The main courses were the star of the show. Our son enjoyed the Butter Chicken, my wife had Afghani Chicken Tikka, and I went with the Lobster, all outstanding. We shared Dal, amazing, and another chicken dish, for which the names escapes me. We finished with a fantastic chocolate dessert. Chutney Mary is definitely a must do when you find yourself in London next!

If I had the guest list and something to celebrate, this would be the spot.

This restaurant is peaceful and beautifully designed. I was warmly greeted and seated with an ideal view of St. James. I enjoyed a delicious Aviation cocktail and their venison samosas, which were equally delightful. I didn't dine in the main restaurant, but sat in their Pukka Bar. Before leaving, I explored a bit and captured a few photos to share.

What an absolutely wonderful experience, this is on my top three list of restaurants in London. China Tang being number one and number three still to be decided...! We had the chefs menu, I'm always a bit hesitant to tasting menus, because you are served so much food, but this was absolutely perfect. The amount of food, the mixture of flavors and texture, the speed with what they where brought out was everything you could wish for. We chose the wine pairing and I definitely recommend that as well. Arrived a little early and enjoyed the new spice old fashion and the Lychee rose martini in the bar upstairs. Such a beautiful space, a great start to what would end up being a wonderful evening. The restaurant was very busy but the noise level was still good, the service was lovely thru out the entire night. I got nothing but admiration for how this restaurant is run, for the fabulous dishes the chef prepared and the ambiance in general, do not miss this gem when in London!

The artichoke hearts and the samosas were the most interesting dishes of the night. There is a dress code per their site but people seemed to be dressed casually as well.

Hands down the best Indian food I have ever had. The level of flavor in their sauces is incredible. They taste like they took days to prepare. We were with a group of 7 and every single person was impressed with their meal. The wine list was great with plenty of options. The ambiance is beautiful and inviting. Would definitely recommend.

Brilliant presentation with every plate, including the excellent "Indian fish and chips" starter.
Nilanj D.

Absolutely brilliant food, very attentive service, and a very kind offer to transfer reservations when their sister restaurant Veeraswamy (where we originally were to have been) was unfortunately and unavoidably closed. Of exceptional value was the presentation of the starter dishes, all done beautifully and brilliantly in a luxurious setting. Very quick service which was deeply appreciated as we had a rapid meal prior to a theatre appointment.

From the cozy, elegant ambiance to the delicious food and impeccable service, Chutney Mary is certainly worth all the hype. Each dish was unique and tasty and the cocktails were creative and fun to explore. We will definitely be back!

Butter chicken and rice
Tess M.

I got the spicy butter chicken, rice, and paratha. They had an order minimum of 60 a person. For 60 I expected a bit more but portions were tiny and it certainly was not spicy. That said the chicken itself was very creamy, but the paratha was a miss. Nice bathroom; a bit of an older crowd.

I had the Andhra Lobster Chilli Fry and the Indo Chinese Bhel Salad to start, absolutely delicious!Then I had the lamb chops, which were divine alongwith the most sublime saag paneer.I was dining alone and I was made so welcome, which really made my day. The Virgin Tom Collins are divine too.Thank you Chutney Mary and a very happy 35th Birthday to you.

Genuinely the best Indian food I've ever had in my life. We just ordered a bunch of stuff, from…read moresamosas and butter chicken to kabab and broccoli salad. Absolutely nothing we didn't love! Service was also fantastic! I noticed they're super intentional about allergies and brought out an entire tablet for my friend to cross-reference with the menu.

I'm probably going to get some hate for this but I only thought our meal was ok…read more Which bummed me out because I've been dying to try this place for years! We started with some yummy cocktails and the okra fries which were delicious - if only okra always tasted this good. For mains, we shared the chicken tikka, black daal, paneer and garlic naan. Pretty standard Indian order. The chicken tikka was just too spicy and we weren't used to that so it went mainly eaten. My favorite was the black daal but again, it wasn't so amazing that I would go and have it again. Honestly the best dish we had was dessert - the basmati kheer is a perfect rice pudding with crème brûlée like topping. So good. Service was spotty, I constantly found myself trying to find our server or make eye contact with him. They were slammed on a Tuesday night (which I'm sure is the case every night) so that's probably just the way things are but it could've been better. Disappointed but willing to try again, also made me want to try some other Indian spots in London next.

Went here for the lunch feast with a group of about 10 and it ended up being one of my favorite…read moremeals in London. We had a private downstairs room that felt very classic London--cozy, intimate, and with ceilings low enough that the "watch your step/head" warning is definitely real. The food was fantastic across the board, and the cocktail I ordered was just as good. What really stood out was the service. They handled a large group effortlessly and made the whole experience feel special. Pro tip: if you're deciding between lunch and dinner, the lunch feast is a much better value and still feels like the full Gymkhana experience. I'd absolutely come back.

Although they offer a set lunch menu, I went à la carte to try exactly what I wanted: Chicken Butter Masala, an Indian Onion & Green Chilli Salad, and Garlic Naan (which I appreciated they offer in single pieces). For drinks, I started with their signature Masala Margarita, paired the meal with a Salty Masala Lassi, and finished with a Masala Chai. It was more food than I usually eat, but it was too good not to finish. Every dish was outstanding--bold, layered flavors with distinct character. It really highlighted how exceptional Indian cuisine can be. The drinks had creative twists and complemented the food beautifully. Service was warm, attentive, and efficient without ever feeling formal or rushed. I could tell the staff would gladly accommodate special requests if needed. It was all very deserving of its two Michelin stars. Total bill: GBP 94 including drinks, service, etc. One tip for first-time visitors: go easy on the rice and bread. The other dishes are far too good to fill up on carbs.

I went for the bottomless chai , which is an absolute must and it was really good. They serve it in a glass , which to be honest feels a little bit convenient since it's piping hot. We got the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan (nothing to write home about here). We also got the Samosa chaat as an appetizer, which me and my sister both enjoyed. I also decided to get the chicken ruby curry, which seemed to be very popular across all the review platforms. It was.... OK. lol. Overall, none of the food here is bad. It's just I think this establishment gets so much hype for what it is. This location is particularly historic as it was built on a trade spot between Indians and the British; the place maintains most of the architecture from more than 100 years ago. Service here is pretty good too. We walked in on a Sunday afternoon and were able to get high table seatings.

First, I started with the mango lassi which was so fresh and naturally sweet. I loved the fennel seeds on top for added flavor. Such a great start to the meal.

The chilli chicken was also a super flavorful app to share and the garlic naan was great as well.

The restaurant is much bigger than it looks, with a front patio, a bar, and multiple dining rooms. It was completely packed.

For dinner I ordered the Chicken Ruby, basmati rice, garlic naan, and crispy okra fries. Now I get the hype. The Chicken Ruby was rich, spicy, and packed with flavor, the naan was perfect for soaking up every bit of sauce, and the okra fries were so crunchy I couldn't stop eating them. This place absolutely lived up to its reputation. They also serve breakfast, and there's so much on the menu that I already plan to come back a few more times before I leave London.

As soon as you walk in, they offer to hang your coat. The young lady who was our server for the evening gave us the best recommendations--I wish I knew her name. She was so patient with our many questions and didn't steer us wrong. My friends and I started with the wings as an appetizer. They had the perfect amount of grill flavor and were very saucy and well seasoned. There was no classy way to eat them--they were that good. For our entrées, we ordered the goat shoulder and the half rack of lamb chops. The half rack is more than enough for one person, especially with naan and rice. The reviewers were not lying when they said you must try the lamb chops. They came out sizzling, and we laughed because it took us back to dining at Chili's (iykyk). Perfectly seasoned and incredibly tender. The same goes for the goat shoulder. This was my first time trying it, and I was very impressed with how good it tasted. While I'm not usually a dessert person, you must try the carrot pastry. Think of it like a McDonald's apple pie (the old-school one), but with warm carrot filling on the inside and a sprinkle of pistachio on the outside--just 10x better. Everything here tasted spectacular, including the chili naan. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes.

Every dish we ordered was cooked to perfection with the proper amount of spice and heat. I'd point out specific dishes but I have a feeling everything on the menu lives up to what we ordered. I particularly liked the mixed greens + beef and bone marrow. But you can't go wrong.
