    The food here was extremely flavourful and the service was great. Everyone was really friendly and accommodating, and the food took no time to at all to come out. Such a wide range of foods to choose from, will definitely be coming back to taste the rest 😄 Chai (sorry if the spelling is wrong) was really friendly and made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the meal

    Excellent all around! Delicious food. Friendly service. Great ambiance. It is quite away from our hotel, but SO worth the trip. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in London! The sweet potato onion bhajji is a must!!

    Food was honestly delicious and the service was amazing, they were so fast and efficient (accommodating a group of 14!) and very very friendly. They gave us free drinks on the house for our friends’ birthday and helped out with the birthday cake. A truly amazing night, thank you Bonoo!!

    The food was amazing with a versatile menu, with tasty blend of spices. Also a strong range of veg options. The staff were so kind and friendly especially Mo, Dimple and Chirag who really looked after us!! Can't thank you enough for a wonderful evening! Would definitely come back.

    Such an amazing little restaurant!!! Loved it! The service was absolutely impeccable, the interiors were gorgeous and the food was wonderful. The food came quickly despite the restaurant being fully booked. The bill was a bit more than I would usually spend on a meal out (£100 for food and two cocktails) but it was worth it for a special treat night out. Some of the food was much spicier than the menu suggested and I am sensitive to spice which is why I gave the food 4*, but generally overall the evening was 5*. The only other negative for me was the encouragement to use the online menu - but this was a short lived irritation. An amazing restaurant overall.

    I visited Bonoo a couple of days ago. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and, above all,the hospitality. Mani and his team deserve applause. The atmosphere is cosy and friendly. The decor is amazing. The food was tasty and well presented. Planning to visit again soon.

    First experience here today for my mum's birthday. Simply outstanding food, ambience and beautiful decor. The customer service was excellent, very attentive and made mum's birthday extra special. We would love to come back here very soon.

    If I could give the food zero stars I would. We decided to go to this restaurant due to its high ratings on Google and it being in the area where we live. We are all Indians and hence our opinion is based on our lived experience of eating Indian food. This restaurant might be going through the worlds supply of oil. You even feel it as you walk on the greasy floors. The staff is quite friendly so can’t complain about that. The concept of the restaurant is supposed to be Indian tapas but there’s nothing unique about it. All Indian food tends to be to share and there was no innovation in the menu. The food itself was so oily, the flavours were sub par. Spices almost tasted raw. It all tasted the same. The butter chicken was the worst I’ve had. The batter fried items were all dripping in oil and more soft and soggy than crispy. I wouldn’t write such a bad review as I genuinely like to support small businesses. But I’ve been kept up all night with a terrible stomach which even my friends were suffering. Also it was quite overpriced for the quality and portions.

    This place was a real find. I don’t live locally but did a search to find somewhere that served ochra fries. The food was stunning! I can’t fault a thing about it. The service was warm and friendly and the venue was really nicely put together. Would definitely go out of my way to return and recommend to others.

    If you're looking for HALAL indian food, this place is excellent. And the service is also very good, friendly and attentive staff. We shared 12 dishes between 6 people and it was very filling. We asked for spicy as we are used to eating spicy food and it was just the right amount of spice. Our favourites were the Gobi Manchurian, Chicken 65, Railway Lamb Curry and Aloo Tikki Chaat.

    Words can’t describe how amazing the food is here. We had mostly veggie dishes and it was just fantastic. I have never tasted anything like what we had here tonight. The cocktails are so yummy too! The service was impeccable, Che is a fantastic server, so friendly and kind. There was nothing he couldn’t do for us! It’s a shame I live all the way in Ireland but I am already thinking of a way to come back.

    I really enjoyed the starters - Gobi Manchurian and Pani Puri. Both were refreshing twists of popular Indian favourite dishes but prepared with much creativity. We also ordered Coconut Fish Curry and Chenai Grilled Prawns, both of which we enjoyed too. They go well with the pulao (rice) and Garlic & Coriander Naan. The restaurant ambience is romantic and pretty, and the small cosy restaurant put a big smile on my face. Service at Bonoo was exceptional, and all the staff served us with big smiles. I'll certainly be keen to check out other offerings on their menu in future.

    We came across this restaurant while browsing for great places to eat and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is incredible with lots of decor pieces. The service was fast and the staff very kind. We had a variety of chicken, seafood and vegetable dishes and all were flavourful and delicious if not the best I ever had. I would recommend the butter chicken and Gobi Manchurian if you ever want to go here! If you ever are in London I would definitely recommend.

    We were told this was the best Indian Restaurant in London and they were right! From the beautiful decor to the super accommodating and friendly staff, this place is a must! The Chicken Lollipops were the most delicious wings we have ever had. The Buttery Chicken was just as good. We will definitely be coming back! Great experience!

    So, so good! Been there twice and every single dish we ordered was fantastic. Must have tried over a dozen of the items since there were about 8 of us and it was so tasty. The chicken lollipops with pomegranate raita as well as the bhindi aloo were a really highlight for me, along with the paratha, but I feel like there is no going wrong with choices here! Really pretty restaurant as well and very clean.

    Super friendly staff, fast service and delicious food that lived up to the hype. Recommendations would include the coconut fish curry, black dhal and spicy prawn biriyani (very happy to see a place that doesn’t skimp on the prawns). Will definitely be coming back to sample more of the menu.

    Fantastic place run by a fantastic team offering fantastic food and ambience! They take special care of everyone who walks in. I went for my anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed the food which was customised to our taste and spice levels. They checked our comfort with every dish. They even brought out celebration desserts for us! I'll be a regular . Thank you Bonoo team!

    Best Indian food I've ever had. As an American, I hear about the Indian food in the UK and Bonoo is top notch, fully worth the hype. The smaller portions make it easy to order multiple dishes and are fun to share. Best restaurant I visited in London.

  • 5/5 Ignacio G. 1 year ago on Google
    Bonoo is a cute restaurant. The vibe is aligned with the decorations. Restaurant has two floors . The underground floor is where we were seated. It was almost empty so the vibe was quiet and we felt very comfortable and relaxed. Staff is really attentive and they will give you good recommendations in case you are undecided. I love the concept of tapas portion to try and taste more dishes. Food was amazing. We were 3 and we ordered a set of 6 tapas plus 5 individual dishes. You won't feel hungry at the end. Price was good. Around £38/each including a drink (coke and beer). It was my first time but I will definitely go back to try new dishes.

  • 5/5 Nimita G. 5 months ago on Google
    This place is a hidden GEM! It was our first time coming to Bonoo and it did not disappoint. The food was super tasty, service was super on point and the ambience was warm and cozy. The pani puri was fresh and crunchy and the mixed grill was delicious. The black dhal was sooooo nice but above all, the cocktails were deceiving in a good way. The lychee martini was tasty and packed a punch. My favourite was the pineapple margarita, that is a must have! 2 of those and you’ll be very tipsy! Huge shoutout to the staff Dimple, Nelson and Chirag who provided the best service. I’m always sceptical when a place has so many 5 star reviews but I can truly understand why with this place. We will definitely be back with friends!

  • 5/5 Ankit V. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is really amazing, spicy level is very close to Indian spiciness. Staff is very nice, and was always there to help us with more information about the food. The restaurant has amazing Ambience. I can highly recommend if you have craving for Indian food and visiting London. I would especially like to thanks Dimple for her suggestions and recommendations. Definitely I would like to visit again when I am visiting London next time

    Came here with a friend for dinner and had an amazing experience. The staff were attentive and came over several times during our meal to ask if everything was to our liking and if we needed anything. The food came at a good time and everything we tried was delicious. Would highly recommend

    My boyfriend and I had a fantastic evening at Bonoo. The food was so delicious, full of flavour and cooked perfectly. We had a few cocktails that were amazing too. Thank you Nelson and Chirag for being so hospitable. We can’t wait to come back!

  • 5/5 Megan M. 8 months ago on Google
    Stumbled upon this amazing place and what a great experience to take away. The food and service were honestly exquisite. The ambience magical. We had Cocktails instead of desserts they were sooo good. There are so many places where you feel that you are a transaction. Here all the staff members from the moment we entered to the end of our meal made us feel special and valued. I really really recommend coming here.

    We came to Bonoo Indian tapas for my mother in laws birthday and we were definitely not disappointed. Starting from the doorstep, the interior decor and exterior decor was mesmerising. The service was extraordinary and we were all very well looked after. The food is a soo amazing, especially the lambchops, they are to die for!! The mocktails are so nice and they look beautiful for pictures. We will definitely be coming here again! Just want to say a massive thank you to everyone at Bonoo for the amazing service and id like to appreciate the food, drinks and decor too. Make sure you try it out.
