The food was quite good on our second visit to this restaurant within The Reubens at the Palace Hotel. I would say our first visit was even better, but the servers, manager and even the head chef were such wonderful hosts, that we really had no complaints. I'd happily dine there again. We were so hungry that I only now realized that we didn't take any photos of our food!

We came here with a group. Considering the location of the place and the ambience, I was hoping for a class A experience. The waiters have an attitude, very abrupt in their response with no smiles at all. The plate below was served to us with veggies that you would expect from a street shop in India. I would have fired my head chef for serving this kind of plate to customers paying ££ for their up class food. Very disappointed. Do yourself a favour, take the tube and go to south hall to enjoy some awesome Indian/Pakistani food and that too at much lower price and better customer service.

My husband and I ate that The Curry Room yesterday and the food was outstanding. My husband, who normally is not a fan of Indian food absolutely loved it. I am dairy free so as part of the starter, I was brought out a chickpea salad that was so flavorful. As a main course, I had the fish and my husband had the traditional lamb dish. Both were excellent! The staff was very friendly. We couldn’t have asked for a better meal and now my husband is a fan of Indian food. Win win!

We had a magical and exquisitely delicious birthday dinner for my husband here. The friendly staff went out of their way to give us a wonderful experience, and they also created a special vegan meal for our friend. The decor is elegant, sort of a colonial style paneled library, very rich maroon colors with beautiful mood lighting. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Great Flavors and atmosphere. The flavors were incredible and our server Arbindra was great. We look forward to returning. A new favorite.

The food was not that delicious according to the price. The waiters had slot of attitude as well. We weren't even given napkins for a start and when I asked for some I was asked how many I wanted.They took a lot of time to serve the food. Paid a £300 bill but I wish I had gone somewhere else for a better experience for that kind of money.

Amidst a full day of sightseeing & before taking in a 7:30pm theatre performance, we stepped into 90 minutes of calm luxury at the Curry Room. We were looking for a simpler setting and lower price, but appreciated the 5:30pm open time and location: walking distance from Buckingham Palace & the Apollo Theatre in the Rubens Hotel. Beautiful decor, gracious service, fixed price 3 course meal (L45, samosa-choice of meat or veggie with papadum, choice of curry dish, and choice of dessert). A bit indulgent for us, but the ambience, service and food added to our experience of London/Britain!

Had dinner a couple nights ago during my stay at the hotel. The food and service were good and might deserve 4 stars if that were the only facts to be taken into account. Even it being a tad pricy the quality stands up quite well for itself.
The truth is that charging 14£ for two still bottles of water (that is 1/3 of the price of the food) is extremely excessive and abusive.
High end restaurants usually pride themselves on the food and tend to have higher price tags on their food but then again, water is almost always complimentary. If you factor in that the price of a cocktail was £16 each then you start to feel like having been taken advantage of.
After a great experience at the hotel, this section does no justice to The Rubens.

Good, but service from junior staff is lacking. The South African Manager in the bar made me feel very much at Home

There was a three course menu, with limited options, but all the food was excellent. When you visit, it's through the hotel lobby and down the stairs. Outstanding service.

Great meal in a great place. The manager Mohan was really helpful and friendly. A real taste of Indian cuisine at its best, a lovely mix of spice. The chef was happy to prep something a little different for the vegetarian in our group too. Will definately visit again.

Menu insists on 3 courses for £45 each. Limited offer. Service kind but a bit useless. Tourist trap. Expensive, poorly executed and delivered. Avoid

Had a really lovely, tasty dinner at The Curry Room. Tucked away in the Rubens Hotel, the staff were first-class, and the dining room was cozy and comfortable. The manager, Mr. Mohan Senchuri, was exceptionally gracious, taking care to explain the regional varieties of cuisine to my sister, who had never eaten Indian food before. We ordered from the 3-course menu, and every dish was superb. Even the condiments with the papadums were great, especially the lime pickle (seriously, I would eat this stuff on everything if I could). Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough!

Horrible experience. Overpriced, below average food and service. Avoid!
Their dinner menu is set menu with only 1 vegetarian option for a main. The appetizer was either a veg or lamb samosa. I asked for the vegetarian but was served the lamb one. When I pointed this out, there was no apology but they did replace it. When I got the veg samosa, it was frozen inside. Clearly it was a frozen samosa that they didnt bother to heat up well
The service was just plain bad. We were routinely interrupted again and again mid sentence to ask us questions or get served. Like I said above, no apology for serving the wrong food.
The set menu had a desert option with ice cream which I selected. The ice cream had ice crystals all over it. Just terrible.
There are far better indian curry places in London than this place. Overpriced, below average food with below average service sums up The Curry Room in 1 sentence.

I recently visited this restaurant while traveling in London. If I am being honest, we were expecting a cheaper Indian restaurant (we didn't check the menu before hand) But, when we arrived, the manager of the restaurant Mr. Mohan Senchuri received us and treated us like we were celebrities. We decided to treat ourselfs to a nice meal in London, and we were so glad we did. The food is amazing!!!! is honestly one of the best Indian food I ever had and it was worth every penny. But my favorite part of the meal was the excellent customer services we received from the restaurant manager and his staff. Thank you Mr. Senchuri, please dont change. You made our experience unforgettable! I recommend this restaurant 100%
