    Really good restaurant. We had dinner early so not too busy but still a good atmosphere. The service was very good and the food great. We would definitely go back and thoroughly recommend.

    This restaurant is one of our favorites for the best of Indian cuisine! We stay in this area every time we come to London, and we make a point to return here for dinner. We have been several times, and their attention to detail, and service is really fantastic. Thanks to Ruhel, our waiter last night for being so wonderful!

    Really enjoyed this experience. From the moment you walk in, you know its going to be a nice evening. Elegant feeling ---but not stuffy! The staff were super welcoming and the service was superb. I really liked the small details, the way the dishes were presented and the atmosphere. The lamb chop was amazing –maybe the best I have ever had!

    Light of IndiaOwner

    Dear AI I'm delighted to hear that you had an enjoyable experience at our establishment. We take pride in providing an elegant yet comfortable atmosphere and outstanding service. It's especially pleasing to know that you found our lamb chop to be exceptional. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Yours sincerely, Light of India

    The food was average , the waiters in general didn’t care and the service was poor. One of the waiters spilt water whilst pouring into the glass onto one of our friends arm and just ignored and went on his way - no apology no tissues to wipe etc. we had to ask around to get tissues to wipe the mess the waiter made. I have to say though the main waiter for our table was ok. Will never return and would not recommend it to anyone either.

    Light of IndiaOwner

    Dear Raja, We always aim to deliver a great experience, and we feel sorry when we don’t meet expectations. Thanks for taking the time to bring this to our attention. We will use the feedback to make us better and to ensure this doesn’t happen again Thankyou, Light of India.

    Food is good but not extraordinary. We ordered the non veg grilled platter and saag gosht. The former was okay while latter was good. Overall, good experience but won't be going back.

    I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and I have to say, everything was perfect. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm and friendly service. The ambiance was lovely and the decor was authentic, transporting me to India (without the music being far too loud like it often is in other restaurants). Now onto the food - every dish was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. I especially loved the lamb shank ( I forgot the name of the plate, but it is one of the first in the chef's specials part of the menu ) and the minced lamb naan. The portion sizes were generous, so I left feeling satisfied and happy. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly delicious and authentic Indian dining experience. I will definitely be returning!

    Light of IndiaOwner

    Dear Alexandre, Thank you very much for your review and lovely compliments. I will be sure to share your great compliments with the team and hope that we can welcome you back again soon. Yours sincerely, Light of India

    Worse table position in the restaurant. Tasteless dishes. Way too expensive- not good value for money. Me and my friend agreed - No one reason to go back.

    Dear Luana, I was extremely disappointed to read that your experience with us did not meet our usual standards and I would like to apologise on behalf of the team. Thankyou Light of India

    Food is great, expected of the price. But waiters did not seem very happy or welcoming. It would’ve been nice to see a smile on their face. Apart from that, it is definitely worth a visit in London.
