Friend of mine recommended it and Anokha did not disappoint. Loved the onion bhaji type starter (not exactly a bhaji) and great curries. Will be back soon.

Went to this restaurant with family to celebrate sisters graduation. I have to say the hospitality and the service was so good. It is the best in class Ive seen. The food was so delicious. We literally ordered half of the entire menu. Top quality food. Very tasty. Very authentic taste. They take pride looking after you whilst you are in their restaurant. Definitely will visit again.

Great ambience. Excellent Customer service. Food was great.Would visit again.

One of the worst that i have been to in Central London.

Food was good but table of 10 ordered the set menu spent £800 and did not get the desert.

Bad Food and over expensive got Sick after eating uncooked spinach terrible experience

One of the best curries I ever had, and great service. Reasonably priced too.

Amazing Indian dinner! Everything was perfect!

Extremely friendly staffs, very kind and polite. Service was outstanding. Food quality was really good and really fast. Special thanks to the owner for looking after us, and many many thanks to all the staffs for being really helpful and polite. Will defiantly recommend you guys.

Was going to order my usual dish but my excellent server (Mosh) suggested a change. The dish was excellent. I fully intend to go back to this restaurant. Great food, atmosphere, staff. Great experience! Would recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly!

Dined there on August 16, 2019. The ambiance is a little bit more upscale, but not excessively so. Wait staff is very friendly, attentive, and gives patiently advice on dishes. They also return frequently to inquire whether all is satisfactory. The food itsel was lovely, and not overpriced. Overall a perfect experience.

Had a set menu which to be honest was great, service was amazing with the waiters going above and beyond which I cannot fault. The real downer on the whole experience was my bill have extra dishes charged on which at first I did not notice or even think would happen for such a great establishment, but once I paid, it was only as I was on my way out I noticed the bill. When questioned this, I was given another bill and they had the cheek to include a service charge on this. Had I not noticed this error I would of walked out none the wiser as I rarely check bills as I trust establishments. As I walked out not an apology from the waiter who served me.

Lovely service, do get the typical feel of a traditional Indian restaurant minutes away from gherkin.Service is great.Lamb chops are nice, onion Bhaji a must try there. Just a little expensive, but I guess that’s because of the location.

Food very tasty, nice service and beautiful venue

Great place for dining with friends or colleagues. Service is good and attentive, food was well cooked and presented, friendly staff overall; happy to explain the menu to you. The ambience and decor was lovely, a calming yet fancy feel with dim lighting for added effect. I Would definitely recommend going here.

The best Modern Indian restaurant in London!I have been in search of a go to place for my indian food cravings for a long time. Although there are many in London, to find a place about which you love everything is difficult.The restaurant is situated in a very nice area with basement seating (which is totally fine by the way). The ambience is excellent with friendly, helpful and welcoming staff.A wonderful menu with lots of vegetarian options too. The staff really helped us chose by explaining the ingredients when we were doubtful. Some starters we were sharing and had odd number of items (like 3 or 5). And since we were two of us, they went ahead and made it 4 or 6 so that it was easy to share.Above all, the food was delicious!

Went as part of a large group. Food was fine but they were woefully unprepared to cater for the group booking. I asked for water for the table and they said they didnt have enough water glasses for us. Surely a restaurant has enough glasses for the number of tables it has? Service was overall a bit confused and given the number of brilliant Indian restaurants, I wasnt enthused to return.

Favourite Indian around Monument / Aldgate. The venue itself is very nice with relaxed atmosphere. Clean and comfortable. Im not an expert in Indian cuisine but Ive enjoyed the food every time Ive been. Friendly staff with dedicated waiter per table.

Excellent meal and service. The food certainly had a kick even though we didnt order anything beyond medium hot. Lovely atmosphere.

The place is posh and contemporary. However the food is way too expensive for the quality and portion they serve. Starter portions are way too small. Waiters are in a rush and seem disinterested. Service is okay-ish but they charge 12.5 per cent gratuity (optional of course but who cares). Lamb is not good sea food was not fresh. Avoidable in my books.

I went at this place by looking at Google rating but sadly my experience was very bad, these people have their own rules for ordering food, you cant share food but Indian curry dishes are ment to be shared, though here its not allowed, you have to order separate curry for each person. On top of that the food here has no taste, so this is definitely not Indian food, all food was mostly boiled and fried over oil. I had to ask for salt and pepper separately but that still doesnt improve taste. And you have to finally pay high prices for tasteless food. So beware, this is not a place for Indian food!!!

Visited Anokha for my birthday meal with a group of friends and the food was amazing!The decor inside is really nice and the staff were so attentive and friendly.The prices are very affordable given the location.Would definitely return and would highly recommend.

The best place for a curry in all of London. The service is good and the food is even better. If you visit a few times, they’ll even remember you and make you feel like someone special.

Excellent service from the staff who were helpful and not pushy. Food was well presented and nicely balanced with spices (I had the lamb shoulder). Can get pretty noisy at lunchtime.

Great Indian food. It is where the local City people tend to end up for lunch (at least by the looks of it). Beautifully spiced food and a cozy ambiance. If you ever get lost in this part of town and youre a bit peckish, this the place to go for a bite.

A horrible racist place. I sat here for 20 min nobody came to take my order. Then I got up to ask someone to take my order, but they were fighting inside the kitchen, I could hear loud noises. Then I went out to look for any nearby restaurants. Could not see any in the night as I am new to London so came back in. Now the bartender was there. I asked him why I was not being served. His answer was most ridiculous ever, he said you were looking at your phone so we did not disturb you. I said could I speak to the manager, he refused saying that was his personal matter. He refused to give me the name of the owner, saying that was his personal matter as well. At the same time they were serving other guests all British looking white men and women. I left in frustration and luckily found Bengal tiger nearby and ate there.

5 star for the friendly and good staff.5 stars for the price, lot of other restaurants in the area charge exorbitantly. Food quality and quantity is very good.All in all a nice restaurant to visit for a good experience.

Its for me the best restaurant in London - not just a dinner but an experience the food is just perfect and the decoration amazing and the staff working there are really lovely! Love to spend time there and every time I go I a new surprise

Food - 6 out of 10Service - 5 out of 10Ambience - purely down to youCost: we were guests so cannot comment but prices are not unreasonablePortions: capable of being shared if you order more than 1 per headFit out - works outstanding in mens toilets which I assume will get finished soonWould I go again: yes, if I did not find anotherI think they are spoilt because of a captive audience of local officesLikes: neat and cleanDislikes :staff keen to hurry you along

Been there twice. Last year the food and service was good. But now, the quality seems to have gone down. Food is expensive, taste is not good anymore..and the waiters are almost pushing the customers to order more drinks, order food quickly, not happy with any small changes in the order (even during order placing time).But the most worrying part, there were some fraud transactions on my credit card, on the very next afternoon. I am not blaming the restaurant for this but it is more than just a coincidence.

Food was good. Service was excellent. Waiters were really nice.

A pleasure in dining compared to many options in the City of London. Properly courteous service, delicious food, and reasonable prices.

Awesome service. Staff always smiling and ready to offer 5 star service. I will visit 24/7/365

Staff insisted on taking our coats, only to find many guests had coats on back of chairs. When raised with staff they became argumentative. Food was nice but very expensive!

Great ambience and historical trivia. Food was nice and service excellent

Great food and decor. The staff were very hospitable.

Great food and good value for money. Would definitely go again.

Good for city location/work dos, decent service, and decent food. Good bar and bars nearby for afters.

Ive been here quite a few times and its always great! Delicious food and great service. Just a really good place!

Excellent food, very friendly service. Well worth a visit. Will definitely be back next time I’m in the city.

Overall a little disappointing. The food in my opinion was not really authentic. It’s clear that they are catering to the domestic crowd.Service: 2 stars - the main waiter taking the order awesome but the rest just didn’t care.The vegetable curry was the most disappointing. I liked the chili Nan but the pulao rice was average and the desert was good. Overall I wouldn’t go back.

Lamb biryani was good but all curries had same taste.

Always the best in this best. The food, the staff , the atmosphere always just right !

Wonderful. Attended a corp entertainment event and food was very good. Very authentic and the aroma of the restaurant took me back to my trip to Delhi and restaurants there. Sorry but no idea of the cost!

Amazing deco and Amazing food, great for all your dining experiences and occasions

Best Indian food you can get it in London, quality is amazing and above all service is second to none. Highly recommend if you are in London this is the place to eat!

Love this restaurant. It has a great atmosphere and the service is exemplary. Food is great and their is a big selection to choose from. Staff are attentive and cant do enough to make sure you enjoy your meal.

Courteous staff, service a little slow but food is very tasty.

Absolutely fabulous The food was the best Indian I have eaten in 40 years. The staff were so helpful and attentive .Unfortunately I live in Northampton and cant go every week.

Always good food. Smart decor but not crazy prices and good location

A nice restaurant

Nice ambience, good food but surprised by an optional service charge.

Amazing food. Each curry tasted distinctly different to one another which is usually hard to find. The decor was beautiful and the staff were very friendly.

Very good Indian restaurant in London, nice precious flair, good Decoration and friendly staff, we had a very nice talk because we were there as a group from Germany. The starter Chat Masala was free, as well as Water, the dishes came fresh and hot from the kitchen and were really great.

Hidden in the City side streets.Pleasant service food good.

Simply not that good. As previous reviewer said different curries taste the same. Pretty pricey. So many other better options.

Lovely service! Friendly staff! Very attentive and catered to your every need! Food arrived quick and hot!Overall great meal would come again !

Great decor, food was very nice. Service was a little slow but can be excused due to full house for Christmas Dinner parties.

Indian? Dont expect an authentic one, all the dishes are sweetened. Who makes kombdi rassa to be sweet? Anyway, ambience is good but if you are looking for an authentic Indian food, look somewhere else.

Great Indian food. The kuchumber salad is uniquely spicy and fresh. The flavors make sense and the naan is great!

Really great food, with the staff to back it up!

Best curry Ive had in ages! Always look forward to it.You know its a good place when its always packed for lunch.

Great curry had a group of 10 they treated us really well really beautiful settling it worth every. Penny if you want something exotic trendy and a touch of Indian culture that is the place the furnishing snd curry and the hospitality is exceptional. When I return back from China I will revisit again. The manager is really friendly and aided me and explained throughly of all the dishes and gave his recommended money well spent will definitely go again

The first time I went, perfect. I collected it though... I ordered tonight, never again! Salty and every curry tasted the same. Bread was tough and the rice was poor.Ill try one more time but ONLY COLLECTION! Still.. Not as bad as Taj

Very good food and nice, friendly and entertaining staff. We had a great evening!

Very delicious and elegant food. impressive service

Food here is really very good, and the internal decor is very pleasant. Some of the staff are very competent and helpful, however some are really not very good at all and dont seem to have what it takes to wait tables. All in all if you can take a bit of lousy service I would really recommend as the food is fabulous.

Great place, excellent service, nice atmosphere and good Indian food.

Best curry I’ve ever had, my boyfriend said the same. Service was flawless - thank you and see you soon!

Really friendly service and excellent food!

Loved the food and even more lived the service

Good food, fast service, very reasonable pricing and great staff

Great service and food. The décor is amazing.

Excellent, best curry ever, always good service, I wont go anywhere else now. I meet here a couple of times a year with my brothers and nephews.I took the wife recently, she wont go anywhere else now either.

I have to say me and wife recieved the best service in this restuarant. Very friendly staff and exceptional service. The Food was amazing and very tastey. I reccommend everyone to visit that place.

Great ambience and equally worst food.. if you are after real Indian food then pls don’t go here

Good service and not too attentive you get your space. Overall very good and definitely recommend. The waiters do speak good english.

The food is great, and the staff wonderful

Great staff good food..beautiful ambience

Food tastes good, but staff must be trained well enough. It was very noisey and there were playing two songs together which was very annoying. The bearers need to learn to treat all customers equally, I found that they were more humble to the British customer than the others.

Good food with great atmosphere inside.

Excellent service and food was good

Grand underground decoration and lovely food!

Last night I returned to an old favorite spot for some old favorite comfort food.On the edge of the insurance district of central London, Anokha is one of a few quality places to stay open late (10pm) and maintains a consistently good menu. Clientele ranged from a sober lone traveler (me) to a couple of small groups enjoying good food after working late and a drink, and one larger group, but the space is big enough for the groups not to get into each others way.The menu is arranged with the traditional sections of appetizers mains and side dishes, but I opted for a thali-like combination: a beautifully presented mixed tandoori appetizer, two side dishes of saag paneer and tarka dal and a peshwari naan which had the usual interesting and sweet flavours of coconut and crushed almonds. These are my comfort foods and Anokha did a good job with them.I really appreciate being able to arrive in London, get some work done, and still be able to have a good dinner before night kicks in. Anokha has another location close to St. Pauls, and Im reminded to go back and check it out after two or three years since my last visit.

Excellent north indian cuisine. Naan selection is very good.

Very good food. Dim lights, very nice atmosphere.

Delicious food with great service. Would recommend if youre looking for good Indian food in the city!

Best Indian in the city and thats not only my comment but other customers that was in the next table

Cracking Indian curry house hidden away in the heart of the city. Fantastic food if a little overpriced (it is the city after all), well worth a visit, especially after a few drinks in the all too popular Leadenhall Market.

Anokha Indian restaurant was an awesome experience,The restaurant is a hidden Jem in the heart of the city, so close to the famous Gerkinit’s true what they say, .....!“ you eat with your eyes”,“before you eat with your mouth”,Freshly made, Authenticity style from india,with an Anglo Indian British touch optional, popadoms condiments, different tasty style Onion salad, starters of lamb chops, pakora,Garlic Chilly Chicken, was cooked to perfection, Chicken Tikka Masala with Nan and mushroom rice devoured and loved by the kids,My.....,Laal Mass “ I order was so so tasty ” ,such tenderness and full of flavour.“ took me back to the flavours of the subcontinent”, finest.vegetarian option was so so .,,,good .with a amazing bombay aloo, bhindi,So many vegetarian option on the menu main and side.,,, my kids shared dessert!!!a lovely white chocolate pyramid andice cream.Service was so good with a smile, well looked-after and genuinely from the heart ...!The latte coffee and cappuccino very presentable and hit the spot,Will definitely recommend this as a mother and a Indian chef ...Will definitely be back to try other dishes.

Very wide and varied menu, all very tasty Indian food. Would go there again.

Food and service were perfect but there were no vanilla ice cream for me

Wonderful food, cooked to perfection, service with a smile.

Great service, nice venue and definitely carefully done indian cuisine

One of the nicest places I have been too in a while

Good food good servive

Food and place is good, rates are slightly on the higher side. Just that for vegetarian options are very less.

Booked this restaurant for tonight. Confirmed and accepted. CLOSED. Very unhappy.

First visiit.Welcome spread of Asian cuisine

Good food, very slow service
