The Red Fort

I thoroughly enjoy dining at the Red Fort on all occasions. Not only is the food superb and finely cooked by many international chefs; but also the scenery and atmosphere of the restaurant is beautifully elegant and nicely constructed.

Having eaten in many Asian restaurants before, I can confidently say the Red Fort has the best food out of all. Each dish has it’s own special touch and there is always something different to try everyday on the menu.

By desert I was rather full but I managed to make room for some home made ice creams, including a very yummy pistachio flavour.

Absolutely delicious food, service was a little slow and food was quite expensive, but a perfect restaurant for a one off luxury meal!

What a fantastic restaurant. I went for a meal as a family get together. We had a mixed starter to begin with which was as tasty as it was presentable! We tried several mains, including prawn, lamb and chicken curry dishes, as well as a biryani. Certainly among the best quality Indian dishes I have ever had!! A truly exceptional meal in an exceptional venue. The service was outstanding as well - we were very well looked after! I would highly recommend this upmarket restaurant for a special evening out.

Me and my colleagues fancied an Indian after work, so we gave Red Fort in Soho a go. We were impressed by the quality and taste of the dishes and loved the Lamb Biryani!!

Slightly overpriced but you get what you pay for. Will go again as a birthday treat.

We were recommended The Red Fort restaurant by the hotel we were staying at nearby and we were really impressed. We had heard great things about the Red Fort in Soho as it won the Time Out best Indian restaurant award a couple years ago and is well-known in London ascelebrities and politicians dine here frequently.

My partner and I shared a Murgh Bemissal- a tender chicken cooked in saffron and creamy tomato dressing, annari champ- lamb chomps in pomegranate sauce and a richly flavoured and aromatic saffron rice presented artfully. The meals are richly cooked with fragrant and exotic spices like saffron, cardamom and such with such meticulous detail that we would never experience in our local curry house in Manchester. Even my vegetarian son had a wide variety to choose from. Prices are known to be high, however, given the area and quality it is to be expected and well worth the extra pounds

The service accompanying our meal was pretty good, the staff were knowledgeable and helpful when it came to selecting our dishes and choosing wines.

Food is excellent and the staff was also very nice. The decoration is nice, atmosphere is a bit dull, but I still had a fab night!

I have visited this restaurant many times. The food is very good consistently: excellent starters and solid mains. The wine list is also rather good, and works well with much of the fare on offer.

However the service is spotty at best and, at least in terms of the hosts, rather poor. Increasingly over the years, my parties have been subject to booking mistakes and rude behaviour on the part of the hosts, even when we show up at re-confirmed booking times. This is a real mystery, and one that a few of my colleagues do not want to face again which is too bad.

In summary, with its great food The Red Fort could be one of London's tops. But its variable to rude service lets it down and time again.
