    We chose for convenience from our hotel. We enjoy excellent Indian food in California frequently and always compare it to London offerings. Light of India measured up. Best naan we have been lucky enough to find. This was a cool, quiet dinner on the hottest May Day in London on record.

    Been eating at this place for about 25 years. It’s usually our first night dinner when we hit town. The food has always been exceptional and the service attentive and friendly. Interesting wine list for an Indian restaurant. Indian food lends itself to wine remarkably well. No doubt we’ll be back next trip.

    I had a pre show (Albert Hall) dinner so attended at a quiet time (5.30pm) but the restaurant still had a nice vibe. I imagine it is very nice later on in the evening. Fantastic service and my food was delicious. Really great location - prices extremely reasonable given that location I feel.
