Amaya

Booked the restaurant for a special birthday celebration - what a fuss they created about specific times to arrive and table availability for only 2-hours. Got there the restaurant was half-empty despite that gave us one of the worse tables, and better table refused as apparently they were booked. Food portions are a huge joke at the very high prices charged and taste/flavours were only ok and can't match the prices to food received. Service is hap-hazard. tried to take a few photos of the occasion and were told not allowed as didn't want to offend other guests - that would have been relevant if the tables around us had been occupied. were told the table would be needed by 9pm for 2nd booking, due to slow service we didn't leave until 10.30pm and didn't see any arrivals for second sittings and the restaurant only got emptier. I'm not surprised as I don't anybody bothers going back. Only go if you are on a strict starvation diet and have don't mind being ripped off. BTW I have been to most Michelin starred restaurants globally but this is nothing compared. I would not recommend it and never go back again!

Excellent Indian food. Great atmosphere. Portions are small but well worth it! Good for special occasions or in small groups.

We had a great experience at Amaya in London. The food was very varied, tasty and superb, especially after the recomendations received by our fabuous waitress Joanna. The ambiance is chic, attractive and modern. I recommend Amaya for any ocassion.

Amaya stays the best Indian in London. Food is absolutely excellent, of course very expensive but totally worth it!!! The waiters are so friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is just amazing. One of my favourite restaurants in London!

Excellent Indian food. Being Vegetarian, I wish they can make some more vegetarian dishes. Presentation of food is amazing. Service is excellent.

My husband and I ate here for the first time on Saturday night. Having read the reviews I wasn't sure whether to go or not but we gave it a go. We were very pleasantly surprised, the food was very good, the service was perfect - not intrusive but very attentive. The only negative was the price - very expensive, but overall it was a fantastic experience and we would go back.

Took my wife here for her birthday last Saturday. Service is ok, but the food is really bad. I have been to many top restaurants around the UK and I rank this food among the lowest.

The room and atmosphere is ok, however, I cannot recommend this place. Avoid it if you do not want to waste your time and money.

We have just returned from having lunch there today (family party of 4) and I have to say it was superb in all respects.

I had a discreet word with the Head Waiter on arrival and said I was a little concerned over some reviewers comments, especially regarding service and I really didn't have to worry.

I am VERY fussy in this respect and without the need to go into a detailed review I just want to say we couldn't fault it. Service, food, attention to detail were all pretty much faultless and the food a step far beyond any other Indian cuisine we have tasted - a completely different league.

Yes, a little pricey (if comparing to other Indian restaurants and main stream others) but we felt worth it.
