Was a little skeptical before going here seeing a low rating (below 4) and complaints from some customers. I can assure you they are all misleading. Had a wonderful time at dinner here. Seating and interiors are very good. The ambience is very comfortable. You can go here for food and chit chat. I went with a colleague and we spoke about 3 hrs without interruptions. Prices are very reasonable for what’s on offer and comparing to other places. Menu choices are limited but it’s typical of some Indian restaurants and also means the items are for very high quality. Is vegetarian and vegan friendly. Spice quotient is quite low. So very tolerable. And the service is excellent. Meals came quickly and they kept asking me if we needed anything else. We’re very polite. Will highly recommend for an evening of chit chat with Indian food in nice ambience.

We came for a friend's birthday lunch on Saturday and there was 9 of us. I was told there was a bit of trouble booking as the restaurant was being inflexible but it eventually got sorted. We did the bottomless thali with unlimited refills as well as unlimited chai or mango lassi for £32.50 each. It was good value but if it wasn't unlimited, the portion size would have been tiny. My favourites were lamb samosa and makani chicken. The mohabbat martini was also tasty. Our waitress was polite and patient with our requests. The restaurant is nicely decorated and it was pretty quiet but I enjoyed the atmosphere.

Very tasty and high quality Indian food! Would highly recommend trying their Thali, although you can’t really go wrong with trying any of their other dishes. Went with a table of 5 so we were able to try quite a few dishes and none of them disappointed. Service was very attentive, and the manager Joe and Dipna herself were both very friendly! Their cocktails were also very interesting and worth trying.

Naan bread is tasty but fried is so so. Nice environment and good service. Not sure if it’s authentic, but its enough for non native people to enjoy the food.

Can't fault this restaurant at all! 💯 RECOMMENDED TRYING HERE! I came with my family as my mother is a big fan of Dipna and all of us were very happy with the food 😋. Let me just say this... THE BEST CHICKEN WINGS I'VE EATEN 💯! Absolutely full of flavour in every bite, succulent and cooked very well! I had the wings as a starter and the presentation was very nice, and this was the theme pretty much throughout my time here! For my main I had a butter chicken which was very nice and again full of flavour! I can't comment on what my family ate as I did not try anything, however, with that being said I can say that my family were very happy with the meal and did not have any problems! Now let me move onto the service... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5*! I cannot think of any fault at all from our waitress, I believe and hope I'm right in remembering her name, Noor, very very professional and attentive if Dipna or the management read this, please commend her she's and asset to the place! The same can be said for the management! He went out of his way to facetime Dipna herself and let us talk to her, to my mother's absolute delight! A huge thank you again for that moment ☺️ To finalise this I will say it again, I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND COMING HERE AND TRYING THE FOOD 💯🍛😍. I may be back again some day. This is my 1000 contribution as a Google reviewer and I'm also rated in the top 10% of restaurant reviewers on Google.l ⭐. Side note: I only told the staff I will be leaving my review once I had received my food, and this review is my honest thoughts on this shop! 💯. If you found this review helpful, please rate it positive so that other people can see this review✅

The service was really good, great ambience and nice setting in Somerset House. Menu simple but extensive with quite a few veggie options. Poppadoms were excellent and so was the mango dip. Had the chilli paneer (nice flavours but served a bit cold), veggie samosas, nice but fairly bland, onion bhajis (again served cold) and a chana masala that was wayyyy to salty. Presentation on point

Lovely food, although nothing out of the ordinary. Great service and beautiful setting, although sadly not much atmosphere as the restaurant was virtually empty. Lovely touch presenting us with a dessert with 'Happy Anniversary' on as I had told them it was our wedding anniversary when I booked. As others have said, the portions are pretty small. What really let the venue down though, was the toilets, which are shared with Somerset House and the terrace bar. On my first visit I encountered a broken toilet seat on the floor and on my second visit, a toilet cubicle covered in vomit, including the walls. Not what I would expect when eating in a restaurant of this calibre! What a shame.

Good food but I expected something a little more authentic - this is upscale Indian but quite Anglicised. Venue is lovely and meal was good value but I just expected a bit more flavour-wise.

This is a real gem of a restaurant in one of the busier parts of London. It seems to be still a little bit undiscovered by local foodies and the tourist that throng the area. Went here on a whim for brunch/lunch and was really amazed by the entire dining experience. The food was very tasty and flavoursome. The staff were welcoming and efficient and very friendly. It was very quiet for a Saturday afternoon when we visited (hopefully not for long as the restaurant deserves to be full!). The quietness and general ambience of Somerset House makes the whole visit even nicer. Definitely a must for anyone wanting to try Indian food with a slight twist.

Very elegant interior with a lovely view of Thames River. Staff were attentive and friendly too. I ordered a brunch menu with mango lassi and it was delicious. My partner's prawn curry was okay and a bit small portion. We definitely want to try other dishes next time.

I have visited this place with a business partner for a lunch. The place got chosen as one 50 top London restaurant as per Condé Nast. Well, the place although hard to find with Google maps directions, did not disappoint once we ge finally got there. We were warmly welcome by the host who acknowledged our reservation and showed us to our table. The interior is modern and the colours well selected giving a warm and modern feel. The seating was not the most comfortable it felt too lounge like for a restaurant. Our view was good as we were overlooking a Bar situated outside the south entrance of Somerset House. The waiter Shawn got us the food and drinks menus. Both were well presented with a good selection of drinks at a reasonable price and a condensed food selection but very good for a lunch. The knowledge of the waiter was at a good level, who also offered dishes off the menu. The meal arrived very promptly, it was presented really well and it was screaming authenticity. The aroma, flavours and colours created a great balance and real feel of Indian cuisine. When we finished our main course a lovely waitress called Naira took over and offered us dessert. Her knowledge was also very good as well as her upselling skills. Once again we ordered a variety of traditional small gishes which were at a very high quality. I highly recommend this place, it is new hidden gem. Thanks we will be back. PS: Please work to improve you directons as you are hard to find.

My husband surprised me to brunch at Dipna Anand at Somerset House. It was absolutely amazing, from the chilled vibes to the delicious food. My husband went for the Desi English Breakfast but I got carried away and ordered more than one dish. The cocktails were lush and had to stop as it was only midday. Definitely will be returning to check out the evening meals.

Really enjoyed dinner here! As the other comments say this definitely deserves more then 3.9 stars. High quality Indian food and very reasonable prices for a great location.

Food was lovely and a really beautiful venue with high ceilings. Unfortunately when the bar closes you can't get any hot drinks which was a little annoying but generally a great place

What a great dining experience at the iconic Somerset House! Visited this newly opened restaurant by Chef Dipna Anand and left satisfied after trying some genuine flavours that reminded me of home. Specially the Gajjar halwa dessert in the end. We started with some starters like chilli paneer, and indulged the thali for mains. The thali was more than enough for me and tasted heavenly. Shout-out to the drinks too with some amazing names like Dola re dola which was refreshing or the Sassy lassi. I suggest you to take a visit and enjoy some amazing flavours merged by the chef.

Went to Somerset House for dinner and it was amazing. The waitress Neha’s service was impeccable regardless of how busy she was attended to all the customers. The food was outstanding and excellent value for money. It is a must go ⭐️
