One of the best places to get indian food, more than just a curry house, the dishes arent cheap but this places is the phrase, you get what you pay for. We actually ordered a few dishes more than normal to share out and they werent just hot they were full of spicey flavour. Definitely recommend.

Beyond expectations
Been here 4 times and enjoyed every one of them! It's a really great plave to go with a group of mates or with a small team from work. Their sample banquet just over 30 quid a head is fantastic value. The food is really different and quite exclusive and the interior setting is the best of any Indian I've been in! Great location at bottom of Regent St particularluy at Christmas!

I have been here a couple of times, and I have always had a FABULOUS meal here. Excellent choices and great Wine and Champagne !! They also did some great vegetarian choices that I can never find in any other curry houses. Just off regent street and pretty easy to find !

Madras. Korma. Vindaloo. Rojan Josh. Tikka Masala. The litany of ubiquitous currys goes on. You'll see by my other Indian restaurant reviews that it's the more unusual, authentic, "off-piste" choices that gets my saliver glands going. Veeraswamy is where it all started for me - my first taste of Indian cuisine as opposed to curry house fare. This place has history - it's the oldest surviving Indian restaurants in the UK and has been patronised by royalty and stars alike over the years. I've not been there since it's recent refit but it was a beautiful setting when I went there last and I gather looks even more impressive now. The prices are much more in line with fine London dining than standard curry house eating - around £55 a head for 3 courses + wine. However the approach towards the food and service matches the premium paid. I've eaten there as a couple and taken groups there and each time the service was impeccable. The response towards the food from my companions was also consistent - "Wow!". There's little point commenting on individual dishes, as the menu changes frequently, other than to say familiar named dishes surprised diners with their unfamiliar (that's a positive!) taste and new discoveries were greeted with enthusiasm. So why only the 4 stars not 5? Only because my expectations were so high before I went in. Don't worry - this is 5 star Indian food.
