I couldnt believe my ears when I was invited to order more of these delicious dishes again as part of the bottomless menu. Unfortunately my eyes were bigger than my stomach and I had to concede defeat but of course still had room for the incredible dessert to finish.I was enchanted by the first cocktail but wanted to switch to soft. The barman was so kind as to make a soft version of my tasty cocktail. I coined it the Emma. Lychee, coconut, rose water, jasmine... topped off with a rose. Not sure itll make it onto the mocktail menu but itll stay in my heart and memory for a long time. Dreamy.

Interesting food and great ambience. The paneer and dessert assortment were particularly delicious!

Booked myself and my husband in for a bottomless brunch. They were very accommodating regarding the booking. The venue was easy to find and beautiful. Loved the decor and ambience. Going onto the food, everything was delicious however we enjoyed the starters the most. My husband wasnt too keen on the chicken thigh curry as it had too much fat on it so left it. We were very full and was unable to finish everything. We ordered some mocktails too, the pineapple one was amazing. The Chelsea garden not so much so. Overall a very beautiful experience. Quite pricey. Thank you Dev Singh. 😊

Amazing place! A real hidden gem! Finding the place is a bit difficult, but the food is amazing. A bit pricey but that is too be expected from such a lavish place. Worth the money!

A high class India restaurant and with a great taste

I came here with my family to celebrate my grandfathers birthday - the food, ambience and service was amazing! The prawn starter in particular was amazing, and we loved the melt-in-your-mouth cheesecake. Would definitely come here again - all the way from Vancouver, Canada!

Can honestly say, one of the best meals weve ever had!

We made a new Kahani at this restaurant in Chelsea. The food was amazing and service even better!!Highly recommend

Nice evening out. Attentive service. Recommend for Indian fine dining

This is a sad kahani. Deeply disappointed with the food quality. Seriously recommend not to go anywhere close to it. Service, though was good.

Fantastic atmosphere and amazing food!!

If you’re looking for a delightful, surprising yet unashamedly Indian restaurant, Kahani delivers in spades.Perfectly balanced menu options, with traditional and new dishes to put a smile on your face. Service is discreet yet attentive and helpful but not pushy.It’s a proper sit down Indian which hasn’t lost its way.. unlike some others ; which have developed identity issues…Give it a go. Chops to die for and have the broccoli.. yes I said broccoli.. you’ll remember this review and smile when you do!

Delicious food. Well worth a visit. Lovely atmosphere.

I ordered food from this restaurant recently - just a simple butter chicken and the meat was completely undercooked. While the kitchen can make occasional mistakes, it’s completely unforgivable if management doesn’t even bother to acknowledge a complaining email sent privately. I live in the area, eat out a lot and have been to almost all the premium Indian restaurants in London. For the amount of money you have to spend, it’s probably better to go with the many more reliable upscale Indian options in the Sloane Square area and slightly beyond.

Lots of Halal and vegan options available. Beautiful restaurant with amazing staff, really good option for fine dining. Could not fault a single part of mine or my familys meal, would definitely recommend.

Delicious food but expensive. Relaxed vibe. Nice location. Friendly helpful staff. Went for dawat menu which was copious food but they packed it all nicely for us. Mocktails were delicious!

Lovely restaurant with excellent food. 10 out of 10. You will not be disappointed with your experience. I would recommend to anyone.

Really excellent and well executed Indian cuisine. Spice and heat levels well judged for target market - no overly sharp and intense bursts of spice in our prawn biryani. Desserts were also excellent and definitely not an afterthought.

Everything was great. Food is super delicious (even though far from authentic), interior is beautiful and service absolutely perfect

Excellent service, very good simple menu.Really enjoyed the chicken biryani and then the dessert was wonderful to finish the night. Halal chicken and lamb only.Nice location, parking after 7pm no problem.Expensive but worth it.👍

Nice environment (its underground). Food was pleasantly tasty but the prices are quite high indeed. We do understand some of the factors which affect the prices such as location etc but for us is not justified based on the food. Overall good.

Was very impressed with Kahani and fully deserving of four stars - the service especially was absolutely impeccable.The restaurant would be equally suitable for a catch up between friends or a more formal client meeting - with soothing neutral tones against dark wood. The food was the real highlight of the visit though - the grilled stone bass was probably one of the most delicious Indian inspired dishes Ive ever tasted and the portions for the main on the Dawat Menu were very generous.There were only a couple of small things that we felt could have been improved:+ The scallop starter we tried was slightly undercooked and cold in the middle.+ The cocktails, while delicate and delicious, were very small and didnt feel like they had any alcohol in them at all, which was disappointing, as they werent cheap.Overall though, an excellent experience and one I would definitely recommend!

Lovely meal at Kahani. Tried the tasting menu and it was splendid. Delish food.

Lovely food, good ambience and service! Understated but better than a few of the Indian restaurants in London that have been popular over the past few years. Will definitely visit soon again!

Nice Indian restaurant in Sloane Square. Great service. Food was good, loved some of the fusion dishes on the menu. The spices were a little on the mild side for me though, I am used to Indian food having more of a kick to the flavours! But defo worth a visit.

Lovely food and decor!!

Wed been recommended to go to this place and then lockdown happened. In the end we couldnt wait and went for a takeaway which we ate in the car. The food was still excellent. Its true what people say about the lamb chops. But also the service was amazing. He knew we were eating in our car and making an event of a bad situation so cooked everything for us in batches so we had that same fresh dining experience. Can not wait to go back when it reopens. Fabulous.

Amazing experience and food. For a relatively cheap price you can get high quality indian food. The flavors all blend together well and the food is not overwhelmingly spicy making the places accessible to western palates. I recommend to stop by and have the 2-3 course menu of the day

This has got to be the most under the radar amazing indian restaurant of London. They deserve to get more buzz because the food is outstanding, the ambience is very classy and the service is exceptional. We went for the pre-theatre menu at £20 for 3 courses...check out the photos of all the food! An absolute bargain for top quality Indian cuisine.

We were recommended the restaurant by a concierge by Sloane Square hotel we were staying at. He assured us we wouldn’t be disappointed. And he was right.It is a 3 mins walk from Sloane Square. It is not a typical Indian restaurant, more upscale. The menu was short, but you can find most of classic dishes. Our waiter was great and very helpful in guiding us through the menu, he was very efficient and accommodating. The quality of food was exceptional. No complaints at allIt has become one of our top choices in London.

Every food is designed to excite the palate at Kahani which means “story” in Hindi, has brought lots of story in its food ingredients to your table by Chef Peter Joseph a one-Michelin starred. This Luxury Fine Dining is Served beautifully & handcrafted with details, truly made my day! 😘 Thanks to Dimitri & Sandron today for such hospitality second to none 👍🏻 P.S it is also featured recently on Celebrity Master Chef UKMY fav menu:- Garlic naan- Chicken simmered with curry leaves peppercorn & coconut- Kerala Fish Curry: Halibut simmered with shallots, turmeric, tamarind and coconut- Medley of kulfis: Salted caramel, Rose malai, Pistachio- Venison Keema: tossed with shallots, fenegreek leaves, truffle naan- Tandoori broccoli: honey, nigella seeds, crushed wheat crisps, tempered yoghurt- Seared scallop, star anise coated, smoked pepper chutney, shrimp pickle- Smoked Malabar prawns marinated with fresh turmeric, coconut, curry leaves- Peanut Butter Panna Cotta- Ajwani okraMy fav cocktail:- CHACOTIC: Barrel aged negroni, Apple wood smoke- SWEET MODHU: Bourbon, Lemon juice, Honey water, Red chilli, Honey crumbs

Absolutely DELICIOUS.Everything was outstanding.The malabar prawns were amazing as were the lamb chops and tandoori chicken starter. As a party of three we all ordered different curries- the lamb shank, fish and chicken and they were all absolutely gorgeous. Rice was amazing as well as the garlic naan- we were just sad that we were too full for dessert!!! The cocktails were very tasty- had a wonderful lychee martini and the service was amazing. We were catered toand the servers were very attentive. Biggest compliments to the chef. We cant wait to come back!!!!

Visited Kahani a few weeks ago and felt the overall experience was amazing. Great food paired with lovely wine. Great ambience paired with beautiful art. This is destined to be the go to location for contemporary Indian food showcasing progressive Indian cooking and elegance.I would highly recommend for a great culinary and visual evening to tantalise all senses.

The weekend Roast is the best deal ever, with £30 for 3 courses, of top quality organic meat, vegetables and desert. The meat is all organic, and where else can you get the same quality products at michelin standard for so low. This place is truly incredible.

Modern Indian restaurant in a side street just around the corner from Sloane Square. Set in the basement it has a large area as well as a private room. Well constructed dishes and an excellent value set lunch menu.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended.

Excellent food, attentive staff and a pleasant atmosphere

The flexible menu was probably my favorite part of the experience - you can literally try a variety of dishes like Spanish tapas but with fusion Indian food. Presentation was top notch as was the explosion of flavors in every dish. Service was amazing as well; my friend and I felt very well taken care of. Would definitely recommend for a business dinner (in the VIP room) or an intimate date.Last but not least, coming from a marketing and branding specialist, I loved how Kahani went above and beyond to ensure all details were on brand.

Kahani translates as story in Urdu and the food showcases contemporary Indian small plates using seasonal and sustainable British produce.From a warm welcome to friendly service we enjoyed several dishes and the cocktails!. Starting with Samosa platter which is Punjabi aloo, kolhapuri chicken, chettinad venison, three tasty morsels of food with dipping sauces. Another starter is the Soft shell crunchy crab with Mangalorean spices, and tomato chutney, delicious.For mains we had the Guinea fowl tikka with Chettinad spices, smoked tomato sauce, Ajwain roti - tender flavourful game which went with our other dish of Kahani Butter Chicken a smooth silky curry sauce with tomato makhani and fenugreek leaves.The desserts were beautifully presented and the the Raspberry & mint cheesecake ‘melt in the middle’ just perfect as well as the Medley of kulfis – Salted caramel, Rose malai, & Pistachio cardamomGood location near Sloane Sq and the shopping area of Sloane St leading to Knightsbridge.

They say the best Indian finedining is in London, and I would not disagreeKahani, a contemporary Indian gem set out by Michelin chef Peter Joseph on an alley tucked in the posh Belgravia - all the spices as traditional Indian dishes but lighter, which fits the modern conceptTop food, ambience and service

OMG. We live in London and this Indian restaurant is better than anything weve ever found there. Even the chocolate brownie was divine. Service, food, atmosphere 5/5

What can I say. Probably the best Indian restaurant Ive ever been to. Had a tour of the kitchens which were first class.Delicious food and cocktails too. Wonderful evening thank you.

Amazing service and a beautiful restaurant, most of the food was above average but the scallops a little over done and butter chicken was a bit bland. Would recommend and visit again.

The theatre set menu was delicious, the chicken was nice and succulent. Service was amazing thanks to Akil.

Tasting menu here was just amazing!!! Food, drink and service was excellent and wed happily come to introduce friends to the delights of Kahani 😊

Outstanding food and well looked after by Dave. Will be going again.

Dined here Friday 28th Of August. Welcomed inside with a warm smile and sat down in a very nice dining room. Small dining room but with comfort in mind. Wait staff from the get go were friendly, attentive and experience orientated.Enjoyed a Mocktail and Lassi with my partner, accompanied by a platter of Samosa’s and Trio of Chicken Tikka. Both dishes which were flavorsome and inventive. Main course we enjoyed a spice packed Butter Chicken; soft & crispy Garlic Naan, Pulao Rice & side of Raita. The meal was filling and satisfying. Didn’t try their desserts due to feeling full but definitely something on there for everyone.Appreciate the team and management on the night and an incredible display of flavors in the kitchen from Chef Peter & his team in the kitchen too!

Really really good

Delicious food , I highly recommend this place 😀

## A great place to have authentic taste of assorted Foods ##

For a Michelin Starred chef, I was left incredibly underwhelmed.One highlight was the Lamb Nihari, apart from that, the food was average at best and nothing a home chef couldnt achieve with ease.The staff were very attentive though.They had photos of Hindu religious figures in the wine/alcohol room which was clear for customers to see. Even though Im not religious, it is certainly inappropriate.I did highlight this to the waiter, but he claimed Peter Joseph is religious, and he put it there. 😳I cant see myself visiting again.

Peter Joseph is a fake, he has never held a Michelin, Tamarind of Mayfair had a michelin well before he joined, he just kept the standards, Kahani isnt michelin star despite number of claims. The name kahani isnt even owned by Peter Joseph.

Always fantastic food and impeccable service. If you have dietary requirements I’d recommend that you phone in advance and the chef prepares a variation for you. The vegetarian dishes are delicious and the food is always fresh and perfect. Love this place

Disappointing - watching on MasterChef made me salivate, however was very underwhelmed. Attended on a Friday evening 8pm and the restaurant was half filled which should have been a give away. The food was distinctly average which was a shame, although the service was excellent. I personally prefer the atmosphere and food at any Dishoom (which is also about half the price)

Super!!! What a delicious food.

Tried the 4 course meal, go when really really hungry. One of the best Indian restaurants I have ever been to. Staff very friendly and efficient. Had been dissapointed I was unable to get a table at Scalini, until I had my first bite, a chick pea salad appetizer, devine.

Went here pre second lockdown. Had the vegetarian Dawat taster menu and was not disappointed. Each course was delicious and with the eat out to help out extended offer was great value! The covid safety was more stringent than any other restaurant I have been to which was very reassuring!

Lovely set menu and great ambience. Staff were very accommodating.

Good food3 course roast available in weekend is quality and good value for money

Wonderful hidden gem 💎 in Sloane Square. Delicious food & champagne. Staff are friendly and offer great service.Decor is very nice and a fabulous atmosphere.Can’t wait to go back!They also gave an amazing private dining room which overlooks the restaurant.

We went with 4 courses set menu.The starts were chicken malai and lamb chops were very delicious indeed and so were all the chutneys. However the main Lamb biryani and chicken curry, daal were disappointing. They tasted like any other Indian curry restaurants, I was expecting to be blown away for the price that we payed. Wine list is hugely expensive and cocktails seems to be an odd mixture of very strong alcohol, there was not any lighter or less sweeter option.

Wonderful evening, from service to food, could not recommend Kahani enough. Best Indian restaurant I have ever been to, by a long way.

Great food and wine. Extremely friendly staff, and lovely venue.Totally recommend.

Absolutely fantastic service, food and cocktails. We had the taster menu and it was outstanding in every way. I would go as far to say that it was probably one of the best meals I have ever had and I have been lucky enough to eat in some of the best restaurants in the world

The food was excellent and tasted amazing, a perfect blend of Indian flavour with British ingredients. There are very few places that I would rave about and Kahani was one of them. From the decor, ambience, to the service, nothing was left wanting. I will definitely recommend it with a special mention to the desserts

The food is incredible. We had the 4 course tasting menu and everything was cooked to perfection. Delicious, creative and even reasonably healthy. Lovely cocktails and wine selection. Only thing stopping a 5 start rating is for the price the service could have been better. Some drinks ordered never came. We requested to take some of the food home which they were happy to do but then they didn’t bring it to us so we left without remembering. Our servers English could have been better he was unable to communicate questions about the preparation and ingredients of some items. All that said I will definitely be back, I’m still craving some of the food. So delicious.

Best Indian food Ive had in ages. Modern, light take on classic Indian flavors. Everything from the chutneys to the coffee was top notch. Staff friendly, great decor. Can definitely recommend.

We dined here last week after reading a review of best indian restaurants in London and the review was not wrong. Staff were attentive and helpful with recommendations. The food was devine and modern with traditional Indian twists.The review description of the lamb shank was both accurate and tantalising enough to make me order it!the lamb shank was like the man your mother always hoped youd marry - rich and powerful.We had four shared plates, tandoori, a couple of curries, naans and rice plus a bottle of wine between three £50 each including service. Would take a small group of friends here again or a date night. Thank you to the wonderful FOH and kitchen staff for a delicious evening!

This place was just amazing. Some of the best Indian food I have ever had, and the £30 lunch menu is an absolute steal. Friendly, attentive service a d air conditioning add to the experience. Seriously, you have to try the lamb chops.

Outstanding restaurant. Probably the best Indian food I have ever eaten and the service was excellent. Stylish interior and very relaxed. Would recommend to anyone wanting an Indian dining experience with a difference. I had the guinea fowl tikka for my main followed by a passion fruit pannacotta. Unbelievably good food!

Very nice experience I will come back!Very lovely restaurant in Chelsea, great food especially the butter chicken and the tandoori broccoli it was something to die for! Amazing cocktails for an Indian restaurant, I was very impressed. The staff is very attentive and friendly, I will definitely go back!

Excellent. Yummy dishes. Nice environment and spacious setting. Hated the mandatory 12% service fee though. Oddly, I didnt detract point for the bathroom with multiple puking spots. I blamed that on a tosser. Perhaps my review is too cheery. .. your mileage may vary.

Excellent!

Best Indian food Ive had for years. Very low key entry, but when you go down the steps, it opens up to a huge open area dining room, neatly set. High end and certainly a place to seek out. Will be back - With family and clients.

A truly excellent fine dining experience. The Sheek Kebab was one of the best Ive had. Lamb chops were spot on. Highly recommended restaurant.

The celebration we had at the finest! Thank you Chef Mr Peter Joseph for the amazing cuisines, fine dining experience, exceptional wine and great hospitality.It truly is a very well thought after restaurant at one the prime locations of London.Food is sumptuous and does bring India to London in a bite.

Best Indian meal I have ever had the pleasure of eating. We stumbled across Kahani as a last minute decision and we were looking for take out. From the minute we walked in we knew there was something special about this place, from the ambience to the service through to the food - simply exceptional.Will be back!

Unfortunately, my partner and I didn’t have the same experience as the rest of the reviewers below. Being an avid lover of Indian food we were very much looking forward to our visit, however we were left slightly underwhelmed. We ordered 6 dishes to share and dessert (which were all served in a timely manner) but they just didn’t pack the flavour that’s promised on the website. It was nice, but not amazing. We also didn’t have the ‘fine dining’ experience which was a shame, the staff were very attentive (I cannot fault them) but the food in taste and presentation was a let-down. I appreciate they might have been having an ‘off night’ as the other reviews are so positive. Overall, I didn’t find it good value for money so I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit again.

Thoroughly enjoyed the lunch set menu... All the dishes were excellent... Catch of the day curry was delicious... Great value

⭐️⭐️⭐️🌜: Go If You’re In The Area & And You’re Not Sure What Else Is AroundGreat upscale basement restaurant in a lovely setting with delicious food. The service is the only thing which fell short throughout the evening

Nice ambience and service. Food is average though. Went for lunch menu, that gives half a roti? Extra roti is charged?? While sitting, you can hear all kitchen conversations, whenever someone goes in or out, which is annoying. Good for going once, but dont think we will go back again.

Truly exceptional Indian cuisine. We stuck to vegetarian dishes which were amazing, the tastes the chefs got from a humble broccoli were stunning. Massive choice of wine, we had a very enjoyable Fiano from Puglia, which worked well with the food. Leave room for deserts! Service and space all lovely. Worked out just shy of £70 a head, three courses wine and drinks prior, worth every penny. We will be back soon!

Loved it! Food was delicious, the service was very attentive and worth the money. The only downside is the size of the table for two. Far too small, barely fit the dishes on the table.

A nice restaurant that serves good Indian food

Food was really yummy mainly starters, Service was brilliant

Excellent food, at appropriately matched prices. The king prawns and sea bass were second to none.

I ate here last night. The starters were a mixed bag - the softshell crab was great but the samosas were disappointingly dry and underseasoned. The seared scallops were very slightly undercooked and not hot enough. I would say overall the rest of the meal made up for this. The butter chicken curry I had was exceptionally tasty and my husbands lamb was also delicious and unusual. Sides were nice but £8 for a bowl of potatoes is a bit much. I absolutely loved the chocolate mousse dessert I had and particularly enjoyed the flavour of the sauce it came with. The wine list is unaffordable even in the context of the food prices. Service was good throughout the evening. Overall I really enjoyed the meal but theres room for improvement, especially when youre paying upwards of £70 a head.

Best Indian restaurant in the area.The decoration is great.Delicious food with beautiful presentation.

I never write reviews but this was the best Indian I think I have ever had. Great food and lovely, attentive service that isn’t intrusive. I’d really love to see this place do well and will certainly be back. Also the gulab martini is beautiful

Food was okay but watch out for the outrageous RIP OFF wine prices. They deliberately hide the price of a bottle of wine separately to the cost per glass and carafe and the wine is MASSIVELY OVERPRICED. The managers attitude is the worst I have ever experienced in a restaurant in over thirty years. He was not at all interested in listening. When asked why the wine prices are so high he said they can charge what they like because this is Mayfair! Wow, what arrogant insolence! They no longer have a Michelin star for good reason. When I mentioned this to the manager, he told me the reason they no longer have a Michelin star is because they handed it back! Yeah, right! The manager and the overall experience left a bad taste in my mouth and we certainly wont be going back. There are plenty of other far nicer, better run restaurants without rip off prices and without such insolent service in Mayfair...and indeed elsewhere in London. My recommendation is to avoid this restaurant and go elsewhere if you want a fine dining experience in London. I just read reviews about this restaurant serving chicken stock in Vegetrain

I had the brunch menu here it was the best Indian food Ive ever had. The service was great and the food was delivered to our table by the chef himself.

Excellent service, location, interiors, floral decor.. and most of all a full gourmet vegan menu. Highly recommended.

Kahani is one of the best Indian restaurants I have been to in the whole of UK. If youre ever travelling to London, kahani is the place you should go to for the best Indian food.The ambience of kahani is a must watch and one of the best youll ever see.Just the presentation of food make your mouth water.

I just love the delicious Indian dishes in Kahani. Great ambience and real Indian taste. I would like to visit again and again..:)

We had the £20 for two courses lunch deal at Kahani. I would recommend the squid and broccoli starters. The fish main and complementary daal were also very good. Great service , nice and quiet at that time.

Best indian food I ever had. We were welcomed very nicely on a sunday afternoon for their lunch offer which is very good value for the food they give. The portions were perfectly sized and we got a variety of food. The ambience and slow music make the food more enjoyable. In general the food was amazing, will definitely come back.

I have tasted Kahani Butter Chicken over there and can say that are something really delicious. I would like to visit again and taste the other asian dishes.

Great atmosphere. Fantastic food. Lovely staff. Would recommend it.

Great service and great atmosphere!

Did not meet expectations — clearly far away from being a Michelin-star candidate. Can not match up with other top Indian restaurants in London. Of the 10 dishes we tried only 2 were exciting. Rest was average. Not worth the money.
