    the food was overcooked, the meats and veggies (including paneer) making it incredibly hard to eat and finish. This place is mediocre at best :/ definitely a tourist trap. This is some of the worst Indian food I’ve had in London …

    The overall experience was pleasent. I organised it for a work event. The staff were very accomodating and helpful. Food came out hot and fresh. However it was lacking flavour on some dishes. If they can fix that i would rate this more higher. Everyone had a great time drinks and conversation flowing. Good night overall. Thank you to all the staff at Paro.

    Overall the food and service was great, however the mocktail Bengal sling could be improved it tasted like a normal soft drink which is disappointing.

    Lovely food and great service. Staff were happy to advise on food choice. The 1.5 hour table ‘slot’ would have been a little rushed had we had had three courses, but as we had two courses, it was comfortable. Would definitely visit again.
