   Interesting Indian/Chinese menu to celebrate Chinese New Year. However overall I think I prefer the normal Indian choices, but the service and flavours were as congenial as ever.

   We had a great time celebrating my husband’s birthday at Kanishka. The ambience was warm and hospitable, customer service was impeccable! Would love more variety of options in the menu. Thank you!

   Pitch perfect - we had the tasting menu with wine pairing and it was an evening to remember. Every course was exquisite and the service was competent and approachable. Lovely evening - thank you

   We had the most amazing dinner at a great Magical Monday value. We travel frequently and have enjoyed Indian food in major cities around the world and this was the best we’ve ever had. They catered to my youngest daughter’s preferences with a 3-course kids meal and service was kind and impeccable. This place is a gem that I will go out of my way to visit again on future trips to London and recommend highly to friends.

   We really enjoyed our dining experience at Kanishka. I have Atul Kochars recipe book of curries from around the world and we love to cook from it so it was a real pleasure to eat at his restaurant. Highly recommended!

   We had an absolutely brilliant evening at Kanishka's. The food was delicious, and there was so much included within the festive menu. The staff were so friendly and helpful all the time, and the chef came around to the table to say hello which was a really nice touch. I am gluten free and I also felt a huge effort was made to ensure that I was having the GF options and all was safe for me. The creme brulee was absolutely amazing! Would recommend the daal and the butter chicken, the chef has made these 2 dishes in a way I have never had before. Also the lamb and monkfish starters were incredible. Great restaurant, thank you.

   I really love this place, I've been here a few times and will definitely keep coming back. The service is excellent - extremely professional, but friendly and relaxed at the same time. The food is SO delicious, you could order anything and know it's going to be amazing. The cocktails and wines are also very well curated. Highly recommended!

    Don’t bother coming here for brunch. The place looks lovely but style over substance. As soon as we were seated we were asked what we would like for our main course. Before any water or drinks had been offered or before the selection of starters had been provided - weird! As we had the bottomless brunch the waiter just poured the wine didn’t even show me the bottle. The starters were mediocre at best and room temperature. No condiments were provided and the starters were dry. We had to ask for condiments. The main course was ok. However, the nan was cold and we had to ask for another nan to be hot. End of meal asked for coffee as wife is lactose intolerant requested any other type of milk substitute. The manager stated that they never had any milk alternatives and mainly sold teas. Again the teas were not offered or recommended. I think if you’re spending this sort of money and with a name like Atul Kochhar above the door you expect better food and service!
