Reviews Chakra Kensington

As you would expect in Kensington, the restaurants are more on the fine dining side. With properties in excess of 1 Million, they certainly would not have a dive amongst their mews and town houses. Chakra is not on the High Street, it is not even on a side street. In fact, you need to walk down a side street, then through a mews, to another street. It is firmly in a residential area. With an absence of too much passing trade, it relies locals and recommendation.

In this little spot, Chakra could fail because of the reliance on word getting out and locals being kept happy with the offer. They do just that with a light Indian menu focussing on being ingredient led, as opposed to too much tradition. There are modern takes on dishes rooted in history, to bring it to the less experimental palate. For me, I love Indian food, whether its delivered to my door as a takeaway, all bold and heavy or in this restaurant delicate and forward thinking way.

For our Indian extravaganza we started with a salad of pomegranate, mango, papaya, coriander, spring onion and amaranth for Prisca. We also had an interesting lotus root with guar green beans, coriander, sprouts and almonds. I had my favourite gorgeous tandoori king prawns. A side of okra and also a creamy chicken and tomato masala. All of this was washed down with a dry Sauvignon Blanc.

The service was very informal in a space which was clean and contemporary. In the Summer you can dine in the little outside terrace. For its location, the menu is very affordable. I highly recommend this as your Indian choice if you find yourself shopping down on High Street Kensington.

The restaurant is cozy and food here is absolutely delicious. Service was impeccable. Would definitely recommend.

The restaurant is cozy and in a quaint neighborhood. The staff here are very friendly and service is great. Food here is out of this world, it's scrumptious, beautifully plated. Overall I had an excellent evening. Would recommend this restaurant.

This is a small restaurant in Central London. The food is fresh and excellent. Not too expensive and have a good small sitting place. I really liked the service and food was really good.

What a fabulous restaurant! I organised a big group gathering - 17 of us - and was struggling to find a restaurant in Kensington that was happy to accommodate us. Darshan, the manager could not have been more helpful. We exchanged several emails and phone calls in preparation for the evening and he, together with Rahul, made us so welcome last evening. The menu selection we settled on was freshly made, vibrantly colourful and absolutely delicious - everyone agreed. We had the whole of the downstairs inside to ourselves which meant we didn't disturb anyone else and had such a happy evening. Darshan, brace yourself, we may be back! Thank you so much. Highly recommended!

I went here as part of a pre-booked group so maybe we had a special deal, but ... The food was excellent in terms of both quality and quantity. As a starter, for example I had a samosa in its own sauce with trimmings. Never had that before. Plus there were other starters. Must go back sometime.

Chakra Restaurant impressed with some fantastic dishes cooked by competent Indian head chef Gulrez Iqbal. Having said that though, while there were one or two dishes which we believe were as good as they get, the beverages simply didn't do justice to the place. What really impressed us though in general were the tandoor dishes, so be sure to give these a go.

It is a quaint neighborhood spot with delicious food. I would recommend it...the service was great.

Highly recommended. Great presentation of the food and really tasty creative dishes. Staff attentive and polite. Great choice on the menu and prices relatively ok for the area. The location is somehow magical as well.
