We had a long day walking around London, took the Uber boat up the Thames, and got off at Tower of London. Walking more, we happened upon another great Indian restaurant, The India Monument 3 at 2 St. Mary at Hill. Downstairs, a beautifully designed, softly lit decor with Indian infusion. Much larger than expected, we were surprised to learn each person needed to order a main course, as opposed to our typical small plate ensemble, but it worked out well. My partner chose the salmon tikki (£14.95). The salmon was perfectly cooked, moist and tender, not spicy, but healthy and delicious. I chose the chicken jalfrezy (£13.95). Tender strips of breast chicken meat in a sauce of peppers, onions, tomato, and spices, including curry. It was a spicier dish, totally enjoyable, I'd get it again in a NY minute. The cheese and garlic naan (£3.95) was delicious and large, but included only a single naan, a high price in my opinion. Our server, Rajal, was attentive, helpful, and made the meal presentation smooth. read more

The India - Monument - Some of the best butter chicken and chicken masala I've ever had! - Indian Near Me - London, XGL

Overview: Great service (Ruhit was amazing!!), food was good as well, intimate atmosphere ---- I ordered the 2-course express lunch for £13.95 (£15.69 after VAT and 12.5% service charge so that total was $20.94). Chicken Tikka Masala: - delicious!! - on the sweeter side which is perfect for me - came with 7 chunks of chicken meat Lamb Tikka - good flavor and I like the mint sauce - but it is indeed "bite-sized" - bc of the smaller portion size I recommend getting another side option instead Naan and basmati rice is included along with a small little salad ---- Service was amazing! Ruhit was very kind and pulled the table out for me to sit as well as laid out the cloth napkin for me so that my clothes do not get dirty. At the end of the meal he offered a hot hand towel to clean up and there was a small piece of chocolate offered with the bill. ---- Other notes: - takeaway is available but NOT for the express lunch deal, must order for dine in - from ordering, the food took around 15-20 minutes - intimate setting, dim lighting and lots of seating ---- Overall: If you're looking for a nice intimate meal for a good price, this place is the way to go! Ruhit was awesome and made the whole experience a million times better. Next time I'm in London I'll be sure to stop by again! read more

Fantastic ambiance and service! The food was phenomenal so very different than the states. Prices are fair and servings were perfect! We opened for the lunch portion as we are traveling and can't take left overs. The husband recommends the Cobra beer to pair with the Indian, maybe just to try. read more

Wow. It has been a long time since we've been to a place that surprised us like The India 3 - Best in the City did. First off, the staff were all wonderful. We walked into their downstairs area, and the vibe was very chill while a little lively (and lovely). Dimly lit, music playing at a low volume, and a beautiful tiger painted on a wall. We were greeted immediately and in a friendly manner. We made reservations with Fork and were led to our table. First, the staff provided us with the sample of Papadom four different dipping trays including a diced vegetables tray, mango chutney, a spicy pickled limes dip, and a yogurt with mint and honey. So good! Wow! We ordered one main dish and one side per person. - Lamb Shank with a side of Pilaou rice which looks a bit like biryani rice. So good. One of the recommended dishes. - Butter Chicken with a side of rice. The hint of coconut and almond was yummy. - Channa Masala also with rice. My daughter loved it. - My son had the Lamb Biryani and it was a big serving of rice with a tasty lamb in sauce. A little different than we were expecting but still great. - Balti Masala Chicken, my wife ordered it and also loved it. All the dishes were just fantastic. We would recommend any of them. We were so stuffed, we actually had leftovers for every person in our group. Good portion sizes. The staff also provided us with some chocolates at the end. The staff were all just wonderful. They checked on us frequently, but not in a way that was at all intrusive. Everyone was very friendly, conversational, open to making recommendations, and just generally felt like people. Well trained and courteous. Even though we are part of the first sitting, they never rushed us into paying or leaving. Just super hospitable. Thank you to the team at The India 3. Our family highly recommends this place. It's been a long time since we have been this surprised, and that a place has overdeliver food, service, and audience versus expectations versus what we have seen in Google reviews, Yelp, and Fork feedback. Thank you for a wonderful meal and time. From the travelling Canadians with the kids that have egg and nut allergies. read more

The banner outside looks like it needs to be replaced but don't be scared: really nice place inside. We were a party of 4 on a Friday night. The place didn't look that full but the staff acted overwhelmed. Our waiter was not the friendliest and he wasn't helpful, which is disappointing considering other reviews raved about service. The food is perfect for people who don't want anything too spicy hot. We had chicken tikka masala (the sweet component was high), salmon tikka (very good), aloo gobi and saag paneer (both ok and the paneer also kind of sweet). I personally prefer my food less sweet but the rest of my party enjoyed it. read more

Rajai and the entire crew are great. Food was tasty and the pappadum in particular was good.

We were told that the Indian Food is great in London, so did some online searching. We made a reservation for lunch and were seated right away. There were several waiters milling about but it took fifteen minutes for one to come to the table. During our meal we were served by three different waiters. The menu is extensive, but confusing. When we asked for clarification, our questions were not clearly answered. I asked for water three times before it was delivered. The food was fine, but over priced. The ambiance was very nice ... upscale. read more

Really enjoyed our meal. Close to sights. Nice service . Give it a try tonight if you're craving Indian

Service is excellent- ask for Jubayer!!! Food is solid. Lovely chutney. Give it a try!

Food- 2 stars Very, very sweet, seems like they add sugar to all their dishes and every dish we had lacked any sort of spice. We ordered 2 chicken, lamb, shrimp, vegetables, and starter. Food did taste fresh. Service- 2 star. Disorganized, they were very busy the night we went. Maybe this is not usual but was our experience. It felt more like a nightclub than restaurant. Ambience- 5 stars. Pretty, especially given the basement location. read more

Nice setting. Friendly service; efficient too. Lamb was tough. Other food was average. They asked us to complete our online review-- as we sat there! Justunder their nose. I think that accounts for the higher food ratings than they rightly deserve. read more

We visited The India on our visit to London from the States and it was probably the best Indian food we've ever had. The chana masala, mater paneer, and chicken nawabi were amazing.
