    Really great service, a birthday celebration for my hubby and staff provided a kulfi with candle and even a birthday card… such a nice gesture never seen that before from a restaurant. Food and drink was exceptional. Price a bit steep but good for groups to share and combine dishes etc. Would recommend again as the menu is good and I love a new restaurant so if you haven’t been do try :-)

    Dropped in on a whim and ended up having one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in years. The space is elegant yet relaxed, the service attentive but never overbearing, and the food... just wow. You can taste the care in every dish. Highly recommend the Lamb and anything involving the family spice blend.

    First time at Paro and it won’t be the last. The lamb was melt-in-your-mouth good, and the spice blend brought a depth I’ve never experienced before. Hats off to the chef — every course felt like a masterclass in flavour.”

    It’s rare to find a place that nails both service and food Paro does exactly that. We had a big group and not one dish disappointed. The head waiter ran the section like a pro, making us feel like VIPs the whole night. Real hospitality lives here.

    A hidden gem in Covent Garden! The staff were incredibly warm and made us feel at home from the moment we walked in. We loved the cocktail pairings a surprisingly perfect match for the spice-driven menu. Paro isn’t just a meal — it’s a memory.
