About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
In 2019, Mother India relaunched The Lansdowne, retaining its long standing tradition as a meet up spot for casual dining and drinks.

The familiar layout of this basement venue has been lovingly restored with large tables for group dining and cosy booths for quiet conversation. At the back of the venue sits our hidden gem: a big bright conservatory known as the ‘Glasshouse’..

It is a Dog Friendly Venue

    The his was disappointing as I had heard so many good things about Mother India. The itison in get very basis with a choice of 5 main dishes 2 of which were vegetarian. If I’d know this I wouldn’t have bothered as felt the dishes on offer were really basic. The pakora starters were really tasty and a good portion but the main dishes really let it down. We ordered an extra rice, 1 soft drink and 1 glass of wine which cost an additional £25 so not that cheap overall for what we got. I’d rather pay more for the main menu and order what we want to eat. The ambience and service were great can’t fault it but next time I’ll not bother with an itison deal. Felt cheap and basic

    First visit by 4 of us and definitely going back. Service was flawless and dishes were very flavoursome. Great venue to sit after the meal and enjoyed another drink.

    Another amazing meal. The food and service is constantly outstanding. One suggestion I would make is to change the music. It didn't have lovely Indian restaurant vibes. Apart from that: perfect!

    We used a 5pm voucher for our meals. The restaurant had a restricted menu but there was still ample choice. The food was excellent and left us full after states and main courses. The staff were very friendly and service was efficient. I’m happy to recommend this restaurant to other diners.

    We had been gifted a Wowcfer by our daughter for the seven course tasting menu. Booking was simple and our dining experience was very nice. Service was excellent, the staff were very attentive and friendly. The restaurant was quite quirky, with a lovely ambience and some really nice comfy lounge seating options or a more formal or casual option. Bathroom was spotless too. The food was outstanding, the best Peshwari naan I've ever tasted! We'll definitely be back!

    First time here and we were impressed by the decor and ambience of the restaurant. However, it went downhill after that. The service was very poor, taking almost an hour before we were asked what we wanted to eat and the starter arrived. It similarly took a good length of time before the main course and repeat drinks were served. We had 2 starters and 2 mains and all were very poor. Cauliflower over-cooked and not much spice to the South Indian curry. At no time were we asked how the food was. We were very surprised at all of this as this is a Mother India establishment. When we asked for the bill, we gave our feedback to the waiter and he deducted 50% for our food, which was extremely generous. Not a great experience but at least they handled it well.

    Another great meal. We brought family members for the first time and they also loved it. The food and service is consistently good and the restaurant atmosphere is just right. Our favourite (and only!) place to go for an Indian curry in the city. Can't wait to come back in a couple of weeks!

    Amazing food, a solid 10/10. I couldn't finish the best butter chicken I've ever tasted, however the restaurant kindly provides you with takeaway containers so you can extend the amazing food experience till the next day! If you haven't been here, make it your next booking.
