About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Great for fine wines
When you come to Opheem, you get an insight into the inner workings of my mind. We’re striving to push the boundaries with Indian flavours, but with cooking techniques from all over the world, some traditional, and some very modern. At Opheem, I’ll be using the same paints as I’ve always done, to create a very different picture, on a very, very different canvas. Why? Because to evolve and adapt is what makes us human, and cooking is what sets us apart from the animals.

    10 course tasting menu. Packed full of flavours . The first was really nice getting better and better through the courses if that’s at all possible. Fabulous overall experience and the food was something else.

    Incredible food, service and overall experience. Impressively accommodating of gluten free diet. We had the 3 course a la carte for lunch and will definitely be back to try the 10 course tasting menu for dinner.

    Had the pleasure of visiting Opheem last year as well. This is one of the 4 Indian 2🌟 Michelin restaurants in the world. It’s a master class of management, the well coordinated art of service customers in a busy restaurant for over 3hrs is something we plan to implement in our business as well. The culinary experience was beyond expectations. It was pleasure meeting the Director himself Aktar Islam. He told us the impact of changes in trade relations with Europe post Brexit and the limitations of availability of food resources and how his restaurant made changes to offer fresh cuisine to the delight of its customers. Worth a visit if you are in the UK. We are vegetarians and the restaurant catered to our request and they double and triple checked our requirements. 5🌟s for the experience, ambience and the food. 5🌟s to the Chef, the members of his team and the staff serving. Best wishes.

    Absolutely faultless, the food the service and the ambience. The attention to detail was amazing, when they found out the visit was for a birthday they contacted me to ask for details and a birthday card for my husband was waiting for us in the lounge when we arrived. We were very lucky to see Aktar cooking in the open plan kitchen but were even more delighted when he personally brought out our Monkfish course. and explained in detail how it was prepared.

    Wow! Just wow! I have been to other Michelin star restaurants and thought ‘Meh, overrated’ but this place is just awesome. Food, service, ambience, the whole experience from start to finish. You can see why it has two michelin stars. The whole operation is slick, like a well oiled machine but with a less stuffy feel than other Michelin star places but still gives you that high end feel. Met Aktar, who was working in the kitchen all night. You could see how much passion he puts into his food and the thought and care that goes into every detail of the food, the restaurant and the whole experience. Worth the price tag. If you have been wanting to go here, just do it, you will be glad you did.
