I had a very enjoyable meal here, but I do not feel this lived up to the Mechlin standard (compare to other experiences I had).
We tried the Taste of London 5 course meal with matching beer. The beers could be brought from the supermarket and didn't come in draughts, and lovely as they are, I'm not sure how much thought or research goes into the 'matching'.
The black cod and dessert were my favourite. Other dishes are mediocre, which i rarely felt in top restaurants.
Service was also good, but again, it wasn't outstanding. (The receptionist didn't find our booking/ the waiter brought our bill to the table too soon...)
Overall, I have had a good meal here, but considering the price, there are plenty of other restaurants, Indian or otherwise, I would recommend in London.

Top tier Indian cuisine! Exceptional levels of customer service and attention to detail. The food was divine - well balanced, perfectly spiced, impressive without being pretentious. We were served flavour combinations I've never tasted before. I'll definitely be back!

I hadn't realised quite how posh this was before I arrived for a work dinner. The food was OK but for the price I would have liked to have been amazed. The black Cod was glorious but my fish curry was all a bit overcooked for my taste and flavour nothing special. I don't think I'd spend my own money there.

Excellent service with stellar recommendations. Food was really good. Perhaps not Michelin star but we also did not do the tasting menu. Lemon sole main dish and scallop appetizer were amazingly Cocktail was delightful. Strawberry sorbet was ridiculous!

We dropped in after a lovely day in London. The restaurant was an empty wasteland. Upon inquiry, the hostess informed us that all tables were booked.
After leaving disappointed, I checked via their online reservation system to find that they were accepting reservations for spots the entire evening.
I expect far better from a Michelin rated establishment. Their lack of customer focus is a travesty no amount of exquisite food can correct.

Excellent southwestern Indian restaurant where we sampled a few delicious dishes served with grace by pleasant waiters. The pistachio chicken was particularly tasty but all the dishes were rich and nuanced. Good atmosphere, prices in line with what's expected with this level of quality.

We just went in for drinks. Cocktail prices were super inflated. Waited forever to pay. Paid cash and left. As we were down the street someone ran after us and accused us of not paying! Made us walk all the way back only to be apologised to by the other server who picked up or bill book. Rolled our eyes and walked out super insulted. As if why would we wait forever to pay just to walk out on the tab..? They need to get their act together.

They served the best quality food with lots of variety. Their platters are really delicious and fulfilling yet very reasonable. Moreover their staff is very prompt and hospitable. I highly recommend anyone who loves Indian food to go visit this place. Loved their ecstatic ambience and cordial hospitality. Ensuring the hygiene issues they become one of the best out the crowd. Wish them good luck !

To be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of Indian food... I try to avoid it as much as I can... But this was great ???? loved the fish curry, prawns and cauliflower in staters, also the deserts were very tender and not too sweet. Everything was tasty, even the things that were too spicy for me. The only thing that was frustrating (even though I understand it's not exactly a place to come with a baby, but that was unavoidable) they venue is not baby friendly. There is no nappy changing facility, you'd have to go to the actual hotel part across the street. Ladies room is not suitable for that either... And the staff was obviously not too keen on assisting, though we were a big group with two small babies and one toddler... But that's just a specific aspect that only those with children would pay attention to. Otherwise a great celebration of Indian cuisine!

We were visiting London and just wanted some really good Indian cuisine. We stumbled upon Quilon after a day of sight seeing and touristy whirlwind. We were majorly under dressed but decided to take a chance and ask the Maitre-d if he could perhaps allow us to dine.
He was the most gracious and kind person and personally escorted us inside this amazing oasis. The service was amazing, the food was out of this world taste and presentation as well as the combinations that came suggested by the most patient and gracious waiter...a true dining experience. I would highly recommend this jem.

I've been here twice now and each time has been a delight. I've tried many things from the menu and it has all been delicious. The complementary tomato juice is lovely and warming. The service is also great. I'd highly recommend this restaurant.

Amazing service and delicious food. The waiter was very thorough and helpful when making selections of food and drinks. Decided to try the non veg tasting menu. No regrets there. So tasty. My other half had the pistachio cake as dessert. Hands down the best I have tasted. This place is an absolute must and definitely visit again. This is probably the first time I have visited a Michelin star restaurant and actually walked out stuffed!

Very nice Indian food away from India. Loved it. Service was little slow but taste of food compensates for that. If you are missing Indian food in London, please go to Quilon.

Had the tasting menu (non-vegetarian) and it was simply outstanding. Best and most memorable meal we had on our vacation to London and environs. Not inexpensive, but a lot of fun. The server even gave me a "refill" on one of the courses after he asked me if I liked it (I did). Good food and pleasant atmosphere. Conveniently located near other attractions (and our hotel).

I decided not to go anymore to this restaurant due to the No tip policy they have.
It is not good as an employer to prevent what is socially accepted and prevent your employees from getting this support
Please reconsider this policy as it is not fair. It is a good restaurant, good food and lovely staff.
Thanks

This place looks really good, service was very nice but the only thing I didn’t like was actually the food.
I mean for a restaurant like this that charges for water, I expected more flavors, more dishes like Chicken tika massala or tandoori, actual Nan and so on...instead there were sea food which I don’t eat.

Great Indian food. We went for the Fish tasting menu which was excellent. We had the Himalayan sauvignon blanc wine that accompanied the dishes wonderfully. Staff were wonderful. Price was reasonable considering the quality of the food.

One of my favorite restaurants.
Has amazing food with a menus that is regularly kept up to date with exciting new dishes.
The mango curry and Upum is my favorite dish.
They also have an exciting drinks selection with an extensive range of craft beers.
For those who don't want to drink alcohol I can recommend the fresh pomegranate juice.
