7.5/10I took a Vegetarian Thali. There were 4 different dishes and none of the four was great! The restaurant is located in Covent Garden, just next to the theaters.

2.5/10Quality of food was really poor! I'm from India, and I would not rate the flavors and presentation of the food here to be "authentic" at all. The ambience, seating, plates, glasses, cutlery all looked cheap and run down. Did not leave a good impression on my guest who I had invited for dinner.

4/10They should improve on garnishing and the food it self. The lamb shank which I thought would be the bet isn’t the best. Chicken tikka wasn’t nice very dry.

10/10We booked to eat here before we went to see a show. We received a very warm welcome by the staff and were served very quickly. We both had lamb dishes which were delicious. An overall excellent service and we would definitely eat here again.

4.5/10The food and service were below par. Food and drink service was slow and casual, for example, passing drink and cutlery to us to pass to each other on a small table for four. We asked for water for the table more than twice before it was served. Food was tasteful but arrived cold. And the place was not busy. I don’t think we will go back again.

5/10The food was flavorless unfortunately. If you want Indian food with flavor don’t come here. This place is the best for people who want to try Indian food who can’t handle too many spices and spicynes

10/10This was our fourth visit to Paro, and the best yet. It's hard to strike the perfect balance of smart/chic and comfortable/relaxed, and Paro gets it just right. It's good value and the menu has something for every palate.

Overpriced for underwhelming food, I understand it’s the West End, but if they are charge this much for basic meals, then make this basic meals something to write home about.

10/10Prompt service. Thali was great, albeit quite a lot of food for one. But the absolute star of the show was the lamb rogan. Simply the best I have ever tasted, including Michelin Star restaurants. If you’re going you simply just give it a try. Will be returning to check out some of the other staples like the Railway Curry. Can’t wait.

3.5/10The food was average. The table given to us was too small. The restaurants was empty and had lots of space but all the guests were seated in small area where the tables were vv close . No place to keep our small sling bags too. The serving were too small as the price charged. It is definitely not a fine dining place and the taste of the dishes were also not authentic.

3/10Average, I don’t think there is much to say but go to another restaurant. Staff needs to learn customer manners, they lack it as I am not sure they how the UK manners work.

9.5/10We had a lovely lunch here on Xmas day. Everything was excellent, and we were given goodie bags on the way out, which made our day. Tonight we were greeted like old friends. Everything was excellent again, and we were thrilled to be offered free Bailey's after the meal. Can't praise the food and the staff here highly enough. Look forward to visiting again when we're back in London.

Loved decor in restaurant and location right next to The Lyceum ( Lion King) Theatre. The food was very good and I loved the grass-fed lamb mince Gunpowder Curry.

2.5/10I know it was Christmas and places are busy. But we were sat in a galley area away from all the other diners. Zero atmosphere and terrible lighting so you couldn't even see the menu. We were like naughty children in the corner! There was also food on the floor around the table which hadn't been cleaned up. Service was fine. The waiters were friendly enough. Asked for a gin&tonic, what came out was flat as a pancake as tonic had gone off so sent it back. Also, who pours the tonic in, you let people mix the quantity they prefer. Food was ok, we were hungry so it did us but we have nicer take aways in our local area. We had to ask for cutlery. £82 including service charge for two starters, mains and two beers. I wouldn't eat here again and there are definitely nicer restaurants.

6.5/10The food amaze, the manager not so! They changed our booking on this app to half an hour later and even sent confirmation! And then when we got there he said that they Didint send the confirmation and we could only have the table for 1 hour and 45 mins!!! He was extremely rude….. after telling me it wasn’t his fault!! And showing him the confirmation… once we sat down the food was lovely and good value

2/10I recently visited Paro in Covent Garden, and it was an incredibly disappointing experience from start to finish. First, the cleanliness was appalling. The floors were dirty and sticky, and the bathroom was absolutely disgusting—easily one of the worst I’ve seen in any restaurant. After using the bathroom before the food arrived, I completely lost my appetite and couldn’t bring myself to enjoy the meal. To make matters worse, the service was lackluster. While the staff wasn’t rude, they were far from attentive. There were plenty of waiters around, but they seemed more interested in hanging around, leaning against tables and chairs, rather than actually providing service. It was frustrating to feel ignored in such a setting.

6/10The table we were seated was basically on the hallway and quite drafty and we got asked so many times if we want to order anything else so that we couldn’t focus on our dinner.
