Brilliant night at Kanishka, with Atul Kochhar and Nick Nairn cooking some absolutely stunning food, and both of them taking time to meet, greet and chat to all the guests, Definitely will be coming back

Absolutely superb experience on par with the partner restaurant Indian Essence. The restaurant is high end without being fussy. Service is excellent - well beyond what one expects from this price point. Drinks service was great - well chosen wines and the house beer is very tasty. And the food! My lord the food... Absolutely to the same incredible standard as Indian essence but with a different house style. We had the brunch menu and every dish was divine. How they retain the moisture in the meat dishes is some kind of Hogwarts saucery. The tikka brocoli is mind-blowing. I very much doubt you'll find a restaurant in the UK offering better value.

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!

Honestly, why would ANYONE want to go to a South East Asian restaurant and be served TWO COURSES that consist of puff pastry is bewildering to me. Why would you serve a dry tikka pie followed by a dry lamb wellington? Is that what you think people want when they go out for dinner???? We want flavour!!!! Sauces, spices, beautiful breads, but two main courses in dry puff pastry? I honestly nearly burst into tears when that was presented to us last night. We both went home so upset that of all the incredible restaurants in London, we’d decided to give our hard earned cash to this restaurant. My advice to anyone who thinks of dining here - STAY CLEAR. This restaurant does not respect its customers palates, nor does it understand what customers want when they select this cuisine style. I am disappointed beyond measure. Will never return to an Atul restaurant for the rest of my life.

I expected a bit more from this restaurant. I had reserved a table in the main dining area on the ground floor, but we were seated in the basement instead, which lacked atmosphere and completely missed the charm and liveliness of upstairs. We chose the tasting menu, which was fine, but nothing particularly special. Overall, the experience felt unbalanced — the price and quality, especially considering our table in the basement, didn’t quite match up.
