We were traveling to London from the US and on this evening we were seeking good Indian food that is not the commercial Indian we are used to in the US. We chose Manthan for its unique menu. We loved the food and the atmosphere. Great food and outstanding service.

It was a great experience for us as we are not really familiar with the Indian food. The food was so delicious with authentic Indian flavors and a great atmosphere. Our real highlight was all the employees but especially Ashvini, who was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. Her kind service made our meal even more enjoyable. She had the best recommendations on both on the food and the wine. She offered us the mango flavored semi-sweet Indian wine and it paired perfectly fine with the spicy food. Our son also loved the kids menu. Highly recommend this place—we’ll definitely be back!
