    Chana masala (with plain and garlic naan in the background)
    Jon H.

    Looking back, it seems as though there was a touch of destiny and fate that caused me to walk into Chutneys during my vacation in London. Why do I say that you might ask? Well, two reasons specifically: 1) my friends and I were only in the neighborhood because we went to take pictures at 187 North Gower Street/Speedy's Cafe since we're big Sherlock fans and wanted to see the location for the show's 221B Baker Street, and 2) although it subsequently has closed, one of my favorite Indian restaurants back home in Hawaii was also called Chutney, so the name played to my palate preferences. From the exterior, there really isn't much to mention. There isn't any special decor or signage, nor is there anything that would really set them apart from some of the other Indian cuisine restaurants in relatively near vicinity. Additionally, the interior, although clean and surprisingly spacious, also lacked anything of note that would really set them apart. The menu was pretty standard fare for your typical Indian place, and I'm fairly certain any Indian food fan would be able to find something to satisfy their lunch or dinner cravings. I don't know about any of you, but when I go to a new Indian restaurant I tend to stick to my default favorite order of chana masala and plain naan. And what was the verdict? I am happy to say that Chutneys didn't disappoint. The chick peas were not over-cooked and mushy, which is a culinary pet peeve of mine. The naan was also cooked well and maintained that nice chew and subtle burnt flavor/charring that characterizes that style of bread. And maybe the most appealing note for tourists and budget-watchers alike, the prices at Chutneys are very reasonable, especially for the portion sizes. Coming from Hawaii, I like to think that we have it pretty bad when it comes to cost of living and price of goods/services. But holy crap London makes Hawaii look cheap. So you can best believe I was grateful for a bargain when I saw it! Although Chutneys is a little off the beaten path, especially since I've been there done that regarding the Sherlock thing, when I go back to London--I enjoyed my time there so much that it's not an if, but when--I know I'll be on the look out for delicious Indian restaurants. So, who's to say that my stomach won't make an executive decision to jump on the tube and make my way back to Chutneys? If you're in the area, or hell, if you're just looking for some place good to eat, give Chutneys a try. You won't regret it.

    Nice chaat and soul food place. Good variety on the menu - north/south Indian and Gujarati. Fast and good service. And very reasonably priced. Loved the veg biryani. Close to Regent Park, perfect after a nice stroll there.

    One of the 'Paper Dhosa' meals at Chutneys, London!

    Great and friendly place to eat - we go there with friends about twice a year when in London. Wonderful choices for vegetarians and vegans and it's all really delicious! The last reviewer gave more detail so I'm just agreeing with him/her really!

    We visited Mildreds in Covent Garden during our trip to London, and it completely exceeded…read moreexpectations. Widely regarded as one of the city's most popular vegan restaurants, it delivers food that is satisfying, hearty, and packed with flavour. I ordered the Chick+n Caesar Burger, which featured a plant-based chick+n patty, Caesar mayonnaise, lettuce, and red onion relish. My wife chose the Beetroot Carrot Vada Burger, made with a masala-spiced beetroot and carrot patty, mango lime slaw, green chutney, and tamarind chutney. Both burgers were served with a generous portion of fries and made for a very filling meal. What stood out most was the quality of the flavours and the portion sizes. Every ingredient felt thoughtfully chosen, and the combinations worked exceptionally well together. As someone who regularly eats meat, I was genuinely impressed by the texture and flavour of the Chick+n Caesar Burger. We also ordered two fresh juices: the Cucumber, Celery & Apple and the Pineapple, Apple, Ginger & Turmeric. Both were refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or simply looking to try something different, Mildreds is well worth a visit. The menu is creative, the food is delicious, and the overall experience demonstrates just how good plant-based dining can be. Highly recommended if you're visiting London and exploring the Covent Garden area. Service was great - super friendly staff Ambiance was nice - a chilled, quiet, progressive crowd

The mains were so good. We had the Korean fried chicken burger (which was HUGE, by the way), the beetroot burger, and the tofu salad. The burgers were very good, but boy, when I took a bite of my friend's salad, I fell in love. It was refreshing, the flavors were yum, and I'm drooling a bit rn thinking about it. The staff were extremely quick, kind, and sweet. There's lots of seating, although the downstairs area was quite packed. Overall, I loved the ambience of the place!

The moment I step in, one of the staff explained the concept of Tibit to me. Items are clearly labelled. Because I was there around breakfast time, I did not get a chance to see the lunch and dinner options. With that said, I really enjoyed the vegan "sausage" roll (1.60 pound). It was flakey on the outside and filled with delicious UFO (unidentified filling option). I commend Tibits for their plant-based ingenuity.

    I went here for the first time about a month ago…read more LOCATION: This location is right off of Regent Street and fairly nearby Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Circus. 4/5 ATMOSPHERE: The atmosphere was pretty great. It was clean and roomy, and I liked the overall vibe. 4/5 SELECTION: It's all vegetarian (but they have labels for which are vegan, along with some other allergy notifications) and it's like a hot food bar, where you put whatever you want on a plate and then they weigh it, and you pay per 100g. There are 40 different dishes offered daily, including salads, hot dishes, and desserts. They also have drinks and cocktails. 3/5 WHAT I GOT: From what I remember/can see from my picture, I got white rice, mixed greens, bok choy, a grilled veggies mix, a green beans mix, a potatoes and peas mix and some of an artichoke dish. All of the stuff I got was vegan. It was all pretty good and tasted fresh and of good quality -- in fact, it was probably the best buffet/hot food type bar I've ever been to. None of it tasted like it'd been sitting out for a while, and none of it was undercooked or tasted too processed. The only complaint I have is that I wish they refrained from using oil, but it actually could've been much worse, so that's that. 3/5 SERVICE: The employees seemed friendly. I mean, we didn't really need to interact with them much, given the style of eatery, but they seemed nice lol. 4/5

    We had wonderful service here! Dishoom is a popular place but the dinner line for 3 on a weeknight…read morewasn't too bad (they don't take reservations), I thought the line moved fairly fast and at some point they handed out small sample cups of chai to us which was nice. It's very spacious inside. Although their black bean dish Black House Daal is popular, I don't think it's something I'd reorder because I don't like beans that much in general. As a chicken tikka masala fan, I enjoyed their butter chicken the most. It's the closest thing they have to chicken tikka masala--which they don't have, they only have chicken tikka which is dry and quite spicy, has no creamy sauce. I also liked the okra fried, which is a type of fry I'm not used to seeing! It's got flavor, and I also loved the chutney and sauces on the table! I enjoyed a Dishoom Margarita which was strong in alcohol content and flavor, and a nice addition to the meal. They have an interesting drink menu, where you will find lots of nonalcoholic and rather healthy options! They have a small shelf in the middle of the room where they sell some of their chai and cookbooks amongst other things.

    I just do not understand the hype surrounding this restaurant. It's hard to get a reservation and…read morethere's a long queue to get a table without one. I just don't get it. In my opinion, there are 2 main things to know about Dishoom: it's an Indian restaurant that is a chain, with 11 locations worldwide. The food is really good for a chain, bit it doesn't begin to come close to a restaurant that takes care of of its individual customers. Walking in, there's lots of energy. People are having a good time, there's no question. We were seated upstairs where there must have been around 40 tables. All of the staff are walking around in a hurry, cause everything here is in a hurry. The intention is to get you our in less than an hour. They want you in, through, and out. I saw this with multiple tables. Our server Yanko came to our table quite promptly and helped us make selections, both for food and drinks. For the first time in my experience eating in a restaurant, the appetizers arrived minutes before our cocktails. They came so fast that we didn't even think it was our order. And then moments after the drinks arrived, all of the main dishes and sides were placed on the table. With no way to keep anything warm. All of this with 10 minutes of placing the order. I appreciate prompt service, but this takes it to an absurd extreme. Our appetizers included the house Chaat and prawn koliwada. I enjoyed the prawns more but the flavors were facile, not close to what I expect and have enjoyed in excellent Indian restaurants. The main dishes were the Goan monkfish curry and Sali Goan. These were also just OK, absolutely nothing special. The cheese naan was soggy, though the flavor was good. This was an unacceptable texture for a naan. Dessert was Basmati Kheer, flavorful Basmati rice with fruit compote on top. In between and unneeded, was a thin layer of creme brulee. I did enjoy my tea: ginger, lemon and honey and my wife liked her mint tea. I do not know the restaurant scene in Edinburgh, we've been here for 4 days. But this is just not a place I'deven consider returning to. It's really a factory that feeds folks, not a restaurant that cares for its customers. The business model had been optimized to maximize income with lots of throughput. What's been almost completely lost in my opinion, is the heart and soul of the dining experience.

    Dishoom literally never fails to disappoint. My first experience was at Convent Garden location and…read morethe Carnaby location was just as amazing! We managed to snag a reservation here before coming to London on a Saturday around 6:30 PM. We got there right on time and and our table was ready immediately. We had great booth in the back of the restaurant so it wasn't too loud. We all ordered some drinks when we sat down and opted for a Kingfisher to drink. For appetizers, we got some samosas and chili chicken which were delicious! They also gave us some of these rice crackers with different sauces which were delicious. For our entrees, we got some biryani, ruby chicken and rice, malai chicken, the gunpowder potatoes and 3 orders of naan! It was all delicious! The biryani with the yogurt sauce is my personal favorite but their garlic naan is great too. For dessert, we got the chocolate cake and I opted for the chai to end the meal which was delicious! This meal was stunning and you must stop by Dishoom while in London.

    We were so full after touring Burrough market, that we almost cancelled our reservation here, and…read morethat would have been tragic. Dishoom was one of our favorite spots in London. Since we were full, we ordered small and it was the perfect amount for us: Vegetable Samosa - get it Garlic naan - get it, goes great with this entree Roti - not ideal for this entree, but maybe with something else, delicious, but too thin, not enough structure, thin tortilla like Basmati rice - get it for this entree Ruby chicken - get it bc it's so good! Our server also surprised us with chocolate lava cake and lightly spicy ice cream to wish us good luck on the marathon and it was so good!!! The perfect ending to an amazing meal. Do not miss out on Dishoom!

We started with a mixed plattern of little bits and bites like Cashew Nut Pakora and Masala Poppadums ( Savoury crips garnished with chopped onion, tomato, cucumber and green chilli and coriander) All was really good. But my personal highlight of the night was the Masala Dosa! It was acutally the best Dosa i had, since i have left India three years ago. I would come back only for the Dosa!!! For the main course we had some different dishes coming up with riche or Butter Naan. All were very tasteful and the way they were served seemed really authentic to me. The service was good, always making sure that we had enough to drink and are enjoying our food. As deserts we had Gulab Jammum ( Golden condensed milk dumplings in a rose and saffran syrup) Amazing! You really gotta try this. If there would be one thing i would be picky about, it would be the interieur of the dining room in the back of the restaurant. It is not really the most relaxing place to sit in. At least the plastic flowers hanging down from the ceiling could be changed into real ones, but in a way this also fits to India.. ;-)
