smart India Indian Restaurant

This restaurant is right near Tower Bridge. I made a reservation in advance, this is a busy restaurant. The menu offers a variety of small plates and sharing plates which cater for a number of different tastes, be aware veg options are limited. It is definitely a limited choice menu compared to a typical traditional Indian restaurant. The food was served quickly, I went for the small plates and ordered a number of different dishes, similar to tapas. All the plates were presented well and I would say we're all delicious. Relatively expensive but the quality of the produce in each dish can be tasted. Every dish was full of flavour and was unique. My favourite dishes were the soft shell crab, tandoori chicken and duck, however everything was good. The ambience is nice too, we had a booth, service was good. We ate well, so 3 of us with a drink each, the bill came to £213. Probably a little over what I would normally pay, however worth the spend to sample some unique cuisine. I would recommend this as a treat, definitely wouldn't be a regular of mine, reserved for special occasions and treats or if you're looking to impress a date!

Really good restaurant! The food was really tasty and some was spicy. We went for 4 small plates and 1 shared + dessert. The egg curry masala is really good and spicy and the tandoori chicken chop is mild and super yummy. We definitely recommend the Lamb chop and add the yogourt as a side. Overall it was a great dinner but it was a bit pricy.

Quality food and interesting menu, very popular which definitely needs booking in advance. Recommend to go with friends and order multiple small dishes so that you can try out different things! Their cocktails are good too!

A friend recommended us this place and I’m very happy he did. Best Indian food I’ve had outside of India and it made me wonder… maybe in India too?. Polite waiters who patiently explain the dishes served and good wine menu too. It’s not on the cheaper end, but you really get your money’s worth.

Indian restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere. The food was on the whole quite good. The beef rib is a popular menu item but I found it to be tough. The chicken was delicious.

One of the best dinners we had during our trip to London. Friendly service, food that is well spiced and delicious. We loved every dish we had but the soft shell crab was our favorite.

Recommend by a friend from India with the comment 'this is how food tastes in India'. Ordered the feast menu for 4 people and were not disappointed. Absolutely worth the price of £50 pP. Beef rib tender, prawns spicy and sweet, aloo chaat a crispy and fresh treat. Chicken charred and full of flavour. Only remark - the desert could be more Indian inspired we were served a brownie with vanilla ice. It was delicious, but a mango kulfi or a cake with warm spices like cardamon/ cinnamon/ clove would have been an extra treat to an otherwise perfect menu. Service super friendly and attentive and atmosphere great. Restaurant is spaceous and charming.

Great meal. Delicious Indian dishes and undoubtedly one of the best service experiences in London. The staff was friendly from the very beginning. All the dishes we got were delicious. Nothing but 5 stars

Absolutely enjoyed all the cuisine. Menu is very unique compared to other Indian restaurants. We had both vegetarian and non vegetarian small plates. I must say this is the one of the best restaurants I have dined in. Service was very nice, the person catering to us was very friendly and considerate. I went for my celebratory graduation dinner and the food just made my day!

My first time visiting this restaurant and it definitely won't be my last. The food is incredibly flavorful and plentiful in quantity. We ordered the beetroot croquettes which were probably my favorite, along with the Rashmi kabob and vermicelli donut. My dining companion was incredibly excited to get the venison vermicelli donut. The filling inside the donut was absolutely delicious however the actual bread and vermicelli portion of it was under seasoned. The sauce that it comes with was really nice and tangy. The beef rib which we got as our main, was absolutely delightful.The one thing I was longing for was some naan to mop up the sauce. It was a beautiful rich sauce and while we ate it with the rice that they offer, it would have been much better with naan.
