Mouthwatering food - The curries are cooked with great skill and care. The succulent chicken, lean meat, fresh veg and traditional biriani were excellent.
The portions are generous and the skill, preparation and delivery is outstanding. The staff are very friendly and management take the utmost care to ensure an excellent level of service is provided for a memorable dining experience.
It was all very unique and this is a great establishment for foodies to visit.
Thoroughly recommended. I will be back.
Delicious food, delicious company!
Great place, friendly staff and very good quality food
Outstanding food , excellent service & very professional and friendly staff
The food was amazing. I ended up having 3 portions of sag aloo because it was so nice (made differently from alot of other places).
We came to Anokha for a departmental meal - got to say it was worth it. Food was very good and the service too! Will be coming back for sure.
One best Indian restaurant in the city � of London. Foods are delicious here and service is great.
Amazing food and service. The Shahi lamb Biryani is to die for and I say this having tried the best in India. Have been here on several occasions and have never been disappointed. Keep up the good work Anokha.

Delicious food and amazing service!!. Love the decor and the ambience.
Played here last night with my Band The Hit List for an X-MAS party.
Loved it!
I arrived randomly at Anokha after wandering around London in search of the great Indian cuisine I had heard so much about. Unfortunately, it was between lunch and dinner and the kitchen staff was on break. Aziz kindly offered that I hang out there at the bar until the dinner shift. I had such a great time talking to Aziz and getting to know about him, his restaurant, and his family. After a few hours, I was seated in the restaurant and enjoyed one of the best meals I've ever had. It was truly a wonderful experience. Aziz is a terrific host and the food is incredible. I can't wait to travel back to London and eat at Anokha again!
Indian food is great. That’s a statement you’re definitely likely to hear me make. But the thing is, I never tend to stray from the BYOBs of Brick Lane, from the restaurants that shout you down with discounts and deals, the well-made authentic dishes (and not-so-great ones) you find. And although yes, you can get some delicious Indian eats there, I sometimes feel like I should leave the tourist-friendly pavements of East London and explore some of the city’s other offerings. Like Anokha.
Lovely place, good food, great staff.
One comment, the "medium" Murgh Khazana, whilst delicious, wasn't remotely spicy enough for me...

A beautiful East meets West 5 star rated restaurant tucked away behind the Gherkin & city of London buildings next to The Guild Church of St Katharine Cree. The restaurant is situated in a beautiful historical grade 2 listed building with a lot of history going back to the East India Company. The restaurant is very close to Aldgate station and not to far from Liverpool street Bishopsgate and Petticoat Lane Market. Parking is free after 7pm but its a short walk from local stations.
The restaurant has a grand and beautifully designed entrance which winded you down a beautiful stairwell to a basement covered with exquisite decor and a photo wall of A listed celebrities who have visited the restaurant. The design and interior was beautifully laid out and gave you a feeling of calm ambience atmosphere.
The restaurant is beautifully laid out with a capacity of 150 people at any one time. Staff greeted us at the front and were very friendly and bubbly as we got seated. Once seated you felt a sense of relaxation looking around you again beautiful Indian style decor and design with a modern twist. A range of drinks were ordered with poppadoms with chutney and pickles which came onto table very quickly. We ordered the house speciality starter which was a mixed platter as below:
Starters:
prawn dhamaka
grilled salmon
lamb tikka
chicken tikka
seekh kebab
grilled king prawn
onion bhaji
The starters were beautifully presented, hot, tasty and full of flavour and spice to accommodate each of our taste buds and again didn’t take long to arrive on table.
The mains we ordered was a mixture of items below accompanied with white rice and biryani;
Laal Maas (lamb curry)
Butter chicken
Shahi gosht Biryani
Badshah baagh (king prawn)
Chicken special
Monk fish curry
Tarka daal
Mains were delicious, with great flavours beautifully spiced, well presented and at the right temperature to be eaten straight away. As each of us tucked into the food we conversed how Indian food has changed and how Anokha was reimagining the way Indian food tastes and is presented for the modern day food connoisseur . Again there was something there for everyone and we all tried everything and loved all the dishes. Compliments to the Chef!!
After the main we relaxed and enjoyed a nice cup of tea. We were with the Grand Tea Master himself Sheikh Aliur Rahman OBE (London Tea Exchange) recognising his OBE.
Thank you to all staff at Anokha it was a wonderful relaxed evening with lovely food to eat with lovely friends.
honestly the best restaurant experience i’ve had this year so far. not only was the food spectacular but the service was exceptional. all of the employees were extremely friendly and helpful the manager and our server salah especially. a complete 10/10 experience and i’ll definitely be coming back
I go there regularly in the evenings. One of the best service from the people that work there. My favourite dish Tandoori mix grill with vegetable curry on the side and 2 chappati. Excellent flavour and marvellous decorations. I will say if you don’t try them you are losing out. Definitely I would recommend them.
The food and the service was amazing! It's a bit weird that the atmosphere is like a night club (also with the music) but otherwise was everything very good!
First time here and when we first walked in the door it looked like it was really quiet. However we wandered downstairs and suddenly it came alive. Food was really good and plentiful. Only slight criticism I have is that service was too attentive (felt almost rushed for getting orders place), we arrives at 7.20pm on Tuesday night. Despite this, I would definitely go back.
Visited last week and had fantastic meal. One of best I have had.
Service was excellent all round particularly from Salah who is just such a lovely guy
Will definitely go back next time am down.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely. We went for lunch, but I feel
A dinner would be more enjoyable.
The food was nice, the vegetarian options could have been better. The Bhidhi bhaji was not that great.
The Service was great, we had 2-3 waiters serving our table.
Murrad, Saif and Salah were very kind and their service was fantastic.
Fabulous.3 sides channa veg curry dhal, basmati, paratha.
Couldn't be better.
Anokha is an amazing place in central London. The food was amazing and the service was top notch. All staff were excellent but our server (Jahan) was out of this world amazing. He went above and beyond with his service. A true tip of the cap from this old chap!
Staff was hit and miss, some of the staff were really friendly and nice to chat too, others were complete opposite. Had a platter of mixed starters, they were good.. Had a couple of curries, not traditional but lots of sauce, melt in the mouth lamb- sauces were heavy and rich, they were good, 6.5/10- Sag Aloo was great 9/10 you could tell it was made fresh and well. Biryani's were traditional & very nice, however they do not offer a free side (wet curry) with the Biryani which I found odd, so you had to pay over £20 for the Biryani and then another £8 for a side dish which was very expensive. Over all very nice, fine dining / Michelin star prices without the fine dining / Michelin star taste. A curry dish was £22 ish, I suppose you are paying for the location. Over all it was nice- Giving 4 Stars as the Biryanis were very very good.
