“A real gem”, serving “top-quality modern Indian cooking at sensible prices” on Fulham High Street near Putney Bridge. The “delicious, unusual food” comes courtesy of chef-owner Shilpa Dandekar, who trained with both India’s Taj Group and Raymond Blanc. She and her husband Faheem Vanoo, who runs the front of house, have made a good impression on locals (“it’s run by really nice people”).

This “underrated”, modern curry house, just north of Putney Bridge, showcases “Indian cooking on another level”“the room may be simple but the food is complex, delicious and varied”. Chef-patron Shilpa Dandekar trained in both Eastern and Western culinary traditions, under Raymond Blanc and India’s smart Taj Group, while her husband and co-owner Faheem Vanoo runs the front of house.

This “real local gem” north of Putney Bridge serves “delicious and unusual Indian food” – and is “refreshingly free from the usual clichés”. Owner Shilpa Dandekar is a “great and innovative chef” – she trained at the Taj Group and worked under Raymond Blanc – and her cooking is “beautifully presented”. Only the “rather ordinary room” gets brickbats – “more prestigious surroundings required!”.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
