    Not the best Indian I’ve had in London, but I’m not sure if that’s what you should be expecting in Central London. The mains and naan were good, but the green salad (basically a plate with some diced tomatoes and slices of cucumber) was very disappointing. Also, the waiter kept asking us if we were sure we didn’t want to order more food, making us feel like we wouldnt have enough - only to increase our order. Please continue to another restaurant, unless you are really hungry and just want to have something decent.

    Arrived at their place, they looked at us up and down before placing us at the worst table : the one sticked to the bar counter where all the orders are done. I asked for another table but waiter pretended they were all reserved (turns out 2 or 3 tables were still empty). We felt that they were disappointed because we only ordered a regular meal without starter or drink. They were still polite but the overall commercial sense is to be changed as i do sadly not recommend this place. The food was good though but not the place we ate. Portions were too small for the price paid. And cheese inside the naan was non existent. We did not enjoyed pour experience there. Pour les français : la bouffe est bonne mais clairement leur sens commercial et leur service est a revoir.

    Absolutely amazing restuarant. The food is the best Indian food we have ever tasted. The atmosphere is great as the mood lighting is great alongside the music and relaxing feel of the restuarant. Hassay always goes above and beyond to make sure that we have the best experience. The staff all go out of their way to make you feel welcome and to recommend any dishes. It is also really fast service. Our favourite restuarant in Soho, would reccommend to all of our family and friends!

    Delicious food.. Hassan was very kind and helped to choose from Menu..He really made our experience so much better. Had some great and tasty food after almost 5 days in London.. We tried vegetarian and Bhendi masala, Daal fry was superb 😊

    Extremely overpriced and small restaurant- we were crammed in a small mirrored room at the back. Waiter was very rude and pushy, and we had to ask him for tap water about 4 times, but when we asked for a bottle of wine it came straight away. The portions were tiny too. Quality wasn't the best either. You're better off to go to tesco down the road and buy a ready made curry and eat it in Soho Square.

    One of the worst restaurants I ever visited. The food was not good, and the customer service was not good. Overall I had a really bad experience. Highly not recommended for Indian cuisine, the name was only India 😂

    We walked in at 10:45 pm, it was one of very few options available at that time of the day. We were five but only two of us wanted to eat a full meal since they just landed. I told the waiter about the situation as soon as we walked in, and they gave us a table. We picked our dishes, which included a bunch of sharing plates and some drinks for the rest of the party who had already eaten. At that point, the waiter said that each person has to spend at least £15 on food. We explained the situation once more, but he wanted us to order at least 4 mains. Things didn't improve after we asked to talk to the manager. Since our friends were too hungry and out of options, we decided to let them eat at the restaurant while the remaining three left and waited outside. The staff didn't budge when they saw us walk out. I understand they have this rule to avoid people taking advantage and occupying seats without consuming food, but it was 11 pm on a Monday night with no chance of filling the table that we left empty. If i were running the business I would have preferred to see a happy customer rather than blindly enforce a rule. Those who proceeded with the meal said that the food was ok but portions were ridiculously small. Generosity is not a thing in this restaurant. We overheard a couple at the table next to us going through the same argument, because the girl only wanted to order a side instead of a main.

    Great little restaurant. It’s not for the people who suffer claustrophobia for sure, but absolutely amazing. Staff great, food quick enough to come out, portions are HUGE… my go to spot for amazing Indian food in London.

    Came here for dinner and the food was excellent! So delicious and everything came out fresh and piping hot! Our sever was Hassan and he was very attentive and helpful! Some of the things we ordered include - Garlic Naan, White Rice, Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, Butter Naan. Everything was very good! I also highly recommend the Vegetable Samosas for an appetizer, they were soo good!

    Great food and attentive service. The team were extremely friendly and Hassan made sure we were welcomed and taken care of! The food was authentic and very well priced for central London compared to many others in the surrounding area. Would definitely go back when in London.

    Good food and very nice service from Hassan. Not too noisy. Got the three-course menu meal for 26.90 pounds, plus a Lassi. The fish of the day was my favorite (I think it was salmon).

  • 5/5 Hadi Murad J. 1 year ago on Google
    AMAZING FOOD. I went there yesterday with a friend from US. It was one of the most authentic desi food I’ve ever tried in London. Everything was lovely. I got Lamb Biryani that was lovely just like the one you get in Pakistan then I had Chicken Korai curry which was great too accompanied with Parata and Garlic naan. Everything was on point including the spice. The only thing I felt was the quantity compared to the price but 10/10 Definitely going back.

    Great indian restaurant in the heart of SOHO. The waiters are helpful and the prices are reasonable considering the central location. Food is decent with a wide variety of dishes. Great for a group meal as the atmosphere is fun.

    I have been coming to the Dehli Brasserie for many years, it is my culinary home in London when I visit. I have never once been disappointed. Of course the wonderful food, the wide and varied menu, but also the warm and welcoming atmosphere, the attentive and professional staff, beautiful decor, perfect location. What more can you ask. This restaurant has existed for many years, and for very good reason. Probably the best Indian food in London.

    I had an amazing experience at Delhibrasserie, with some of the best Indian cuisine I’ve ever tasted. Every dish was a delightful blend of flavors. A big thank you to Hassan for his exceptional service, making our visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

    We had a great meal at the Delhi Brasserie. As a group of 4 we had a selection of starters and main courses and a bottle of red and white. The food was fantastic and faultless and, given the location, superb value for money. We were well looked after by Hassan and I would highly recommend the restaurant to anyone.

  • 5/5 A L. 6 months ago on Google
    We love the food here! Hassan was our waiter, a very friendly waiter, great service. We had dinner here when we were in London 20 years ago, and came back to eat here with the kids because we loved it then. We love the spices, cozy atmosphere and authentic and delicious food. So hope to come back here when we visit London again!

    A wonderful place to have an awesome meal. The gentleman who work there are so friendly and welcoming. Hassan was just great and very friendly. We have been coming here for the last 3 Christmas trips. So worth it! Beautiful food

    Overpriced, low quality food. You pay for the location and not for the ambience or food or quantity. The portions were quite small. The curries were not tasty. Not sure how an Indian restaurant with such low quality can be in the center of London. The thali in the photo may look excited to some, but if and when you will try it you will realize why not to have it.

  • 5/5 Chris C. 5 months ago on Google
    Lovely food and amazing staff. We walked around soho looking for a place to eat. And they were the only ones that said we will make a plan for us. The staff were amazing and super helpful. Food was very good too.

    I finally went into the Delhi Brasserie and was super happy with the service, portions and quality of food. There is no doubt the curries in the UK have been adopted to the local palate, and that’s what makes them unique. We loved the food we had. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Al R. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely impressed with this Indian restaurant. Situated on Frith Street in Soho, I needed some spicy food after an afternoon booze-up, and was delighted with the quality of the food. My Goan curry, with salmon, was absolutely delicious, a sauce full of spicy dimensions and seasoning, and the salmon still soft, not overcooked at all. Side of aloo gobi was also great, and the naan was hot and fresh. Not the biggest of portions, a little more cauliflower would have been nice, but enough per person, and I’d rather have outstanding food than quantity (as long as the quantity is enough). I eat a lot of curries, and this was one of the best I’ve had this year; service was also excellent, so I look forward to visiting again.

    Food was ok, paneer was good, Nan was below average as per Indian standards. Service was not very good. They brought an extremely hot iron container on the table and didn't even warn that it was hot which caused blisters on my finger.

  • 5/5 Yury S. 5 years ago on Google
    Great authentic Indian place. Very good prices, tasty Curry and lots of specials I haven't seen or had anywhere else. Bread and meats came steaming hot; the staff was very friendly and helpful, kitchen was prompt and fast, starters, delhi sweets and ice cream were to die for! Highly recommend and would go again!

  • 5/5 Andrew R. 1 year ago on Google
    Visit this restaurant whenever I am in london and have never been disappointed. On my last visit I was looked after by Bell and we had a great chat and the service was excellent. I ordered chicken jalfrezi which was hot and delicious. The team are friendly and the service very good. Great central location

  • 5/5 Paul H. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful food and lovely staff... very tolerant of a late, unexpected large group of slightly drunk and hungry dinners. Don't know about price as I was very fortunate not to have too pay... thank you Preetham!

    Craving Indian Food in England so we headed to The Dehli Brasserie before our show… the whole family loved it. Prompt and professional service, welcoming to children, and even my pickiest child loved the Peri Peri chicken curry! Thanks for a delicious meal!

    Great curry and friendly, attentive staff. Hassan was great. We were a small family group eating quite early before the theatre so the atmosphere is probably more lively a bit later.

    Amazing curry, the best ever! Eaten and enjoyed in a wonderful environment and served by a lovely team. Hassan is always an amazing host! Every time we come in to London we always choose to go here instead of anywhere new …it’s THAT good!

    Food was delicious and so fairly priced. Very reasonable dinner for two. Lovely and quiet dinner on a Monday night. Very relaxing. Hassan was so attentive and looked after us very well! 10/10

    This is my third time visiting and I have never had a bad experience. The food is amazing, always warm and very tasteful. The atmosphere is classically perfect and the restaurant is well decorated. The service is remarkable, especially Hassan, who is friendly, knowledgeable and ever-attentive. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Stacey R. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    Managed to squeeze us in on a busy Saturday night (pre-theatre & with no reservation!). Small but cozy place with a great atmosphere, friendly service, food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend a visit!

  • 5/5 Leon �. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    Nice Food, Nice Time and Nice Service. Little bit more fancy than we expected. The waiters seemed to be a little confused. But that's probably on us for expecting something different. After the first confusion we had a nice time and our waiter Hassan did a good job on caring for all our needs.

    Great place to eat Indian food. Hassan was the waiter receiving us at the restaurant and helping us choosing the food. He was so kind and smiling all the time we were having dinner. The food was really good and not expensive at all. A place to come back again.

    We had a wonderful time on a Thursday evening! Food was great (I highly recommend the chicken biryani), the place wasn‘t crowded, the music was nice and created a good ambiance. Our waiter Hassan was absolutely amazing! He took our coats when we came in, found the best spot in the restaurant for us and was there to accomodate all our needs! Thanks to Hassan and the entire team for the wonderful time we spent after work at Delhi Brasserie.
