Chutney Mary

Absolutely fabulous!!! Had the tasting menu and every single item on the menu was excellent. A bit pricey but definitely worth it for some outstanding food. Service was also excellent.

It is shameful that a restaurant that praises itself with fine dinning has to employ such rude arrogant unwelcoming and unhelpful employees, one cannot but feel unwelcome especially if you are a family with children.

The food was a disaster lacking all traces of Indian authenticity and flavor.

It is a shame that this establishment has spiraled downwards into the forgotten restaurants of London.

I would recommend you steer clear of this restaurant which seems to be trading on its past reputation, also built up when there were few decent premium indian restaurants to compare it with.

The food was very average and definitely not worth it, for the cost one would expect 1 michelin star quality - this was nowhere there at all. For similar price you could eat in Benares or Red Fort and the food is 3 times better.

Door staff were unfriendly and behaved like they were doing you a favour, but table staff were very good. Had a nice atmosphere but I came there for the food which was a massive let down even in comparison to low end Indian restaurants, let alone the top end ones it is trying to compete with.

Went with a group of 8. The service is too obtrusive - too many people with not enough to do. maybe on a busier night we would not have been asked every 7 minutes if everyone was ok.

the food is very good with a nice twist on the traditional.

however ancilliaries like nan bread at £7 are totally over priced as is the wine list.

A bottle of Isabel is £42 and can be had at Brinkly's for £18 or retail for £10. bottles they had at £25 were little better than a £4 bottle of plonk bought at an all night corner shop.

atmosphere was ok. in short there are places that provide similar food for far less or better for the same price.

not a place i could recommend without the caveat that its expensive for what it is.

Went to this old favourite last night with a friend down from the Midlands and my sister. We had exceptional service, some lovely food and generally had a very good time. I know it is not cheap but if I want cheap I get a take away!

This restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, very good service and good food.

It's not the best Indian food I've event had but certainly ranks quite highly- and they were nice to my kids which is always a plus.

We'll certainly go back, although it is expensive.

Exceptionally good quality curry - but pricey.

The quality and presentation of the food is spot-on. The serving staff are attentive without being intrusive. The restaurant has tasteful décor and decent air-conditioning. Only downside are the heftily inflated prices. For a quick curry, without starter or dessert and eking out a half pint of beer, expect to pay around £34 per head. For a full meal, with a few drinks, you can easily double that.

Vegetarians are well catered for; the veggie Thali was absolutely delicious, but not a huge portion and you'll probably need to top it up with some side veg. Even the nan - usually included with a thali, had to be paid for extra. My friend declared the lamb to be amongst the best they had ever had.

So the bottom line is that, bring plenty of money, and you'll get a deliciously memorable curry at Chutney Mary. I wish I could afford to eat there every week!

Nothing special.

Went for their set lunch. Two scallops with a sauce which completely overpowered the scallops, stir-fried squid/octopus which had a texture of squidgy spaghetti (no pun intended). Main course, goan prawn curry...completely tasteless, goan chicken curry...better, had more taste to it and finally fresh mango with mango panacotta and the panacotta was nice but again, did not taste much.

Oh my god!!! You have to go here.

Food so unbelievable.I had the scallop and the duck... Never thought that Indian food could be like this..

Service is not "in your face" but bearable and relaxed.

The atmosphere is sooo romantic and enchanting.

If you are looking for a great curry and and a place to relax please go here.
