We visited their previous location in Soho (right next door) a number of years ago before they moved to covenant garden - and now back. The restaurant is much larger now, yet the food, service and drinks should top any “best of” list in London. There is a preset menu- my partner and I chose differen
Loved every bit of the experience. The warmth and the hospitality of the staff was top class. The food was absolutely delicious. It took me to the time I visited Kolkata and had all those amazing dishes. There's so much attention to detail when it comes to flavors, selection of the dishes and even t
Excellent, excellent, excellent! Amazing food cooked by amazing women. Absolutely the best curry I've ever had. Just wonderful food and service, excellent cocktails. I was so full as well, so really brilliant value for money considering the exceptional quality. The kitchen looked like it was a reall
Came here for a celebration. Ordered two thalis that filled us up and was delicious! Team was very friendly and knowledgeable, service was quick and adapted to allergies. Definitely coming here again 😁
Let’s first address the elephant in the room - why 4/5. Well, it was a great experience and ambience, the quantity, quality and everything about Darjeeling Express was great and beyond! However, being a desi some of the dishes in the thali felt a bit too simple like ‘ghar ka khana’. But every item o
The Darjeeling Express in London is a culinary gem that takes you on a delightful journey through the vibrant flavors of Indian cuisine. From the moment you step into this charming restaurant, you are greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting ambiance. The menu boasts a wide array of authentic I
We came for lunch and between the two of us, we shared the chicken momos (not bad but nothing special), tangra prawns (it was £12 for 6 small prawns and although it came with chilli and garlic, it didn't pack a punch in flavour), puchkas (good flavour), prawn malaikari (nice flavour but very little
It's a great restaurant for anyone who loves Indian food. Friendly staff, buzzy surroundings, food has plenty of flavour. We went as a group of five people. My partner and I shared vegetarian and vegan dishes. It's difficult to book a table as very popular. We tried: Chilli Cheese Toastie, Veggie Da
Asma Khan's Darjeeling Express has found a new home in Kingly Court, and the food lives up to the high expectations set by its previous incarnation.
A restaurant fueled by a kitchen of relatively new-to-hospitality women, you feel like you're stepping into something that's part-buzzing restaurant a
On the second floor of kingly court. Amazing food. We had a royal thali menu where you select first and second courses. All of the sides and appetizers are predetermined as is the dessert. Every last item was delicious. We tried the cocktail sampler as well and the lychee one ended up being our
Visited on the hottest Saturday night of the year - air con, could have been better given it's a purpose built unit. Thali dinner option was taken. Food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious with fantastic layered flavours. Methi chicken & beef tamatar koftas stood out accompanied by excell
So, do the dramatized life stories of chefs on Netflix shows, really guarantee good food on the table when a non critic walks in?
In this case, I can confirm - it does.
Before you make the trip, to try out “curry” at this place - please know this restaurant serves predominantly food from eastern p
Magical night- exceeded all our expectations- everyone we encountered from the moment we entered the door was so warm and friendly. Other servers and staff ( and of course Asma) stopped at our table and chatted with us. One of the most special dinners we have ever had. And the food? Absolutely amazi
🌟 Found a real treasure tucked inside Kingly Court! 🌟 While the glitz of Carnaby Street might catch your eye, it's essential to make your way to this mesmerising Indian restaurant. 🍛 Let your tastebuds embark on a flavorful journey with each dish. 🌶️ A huge shoutout to Shubhi and the entire team for
Easily the best Indian restaurant we have eaten at in years. Beautifully aromatic dishes with the right amount of spice and heat to transport you to Calcutta. With a female owner and all female cooking staff you can taste the love in their food. The best tender flavoursome Goat Curry I have had in 2
Outstanding (Royal) Thali dinner here. Brought my brother and nephews, the latter of whom were having their very first Indian food. Everyone loved the food and the experience, which was a huge relief. I was particularly joyful to try the heartfelt food of a deservedly famous set of female chefs and
Fantastic Indian food experience in the centre of London. We went there after a long long lockdown break.
The deli menu isn't exhaustive but the dishes have an authentic taste.
The puchkas are great if they're your thing. As vegetarians we also liked the Kala chana rice plate.
The mango lassi seemed
