    It was perfect from start to finish. The food is flavourful, original yet classic and delicious. The restaurant is beautifully lighted, the noise is surprisingly low for such a wide space, and a special thank you to our waiter James who was lovely, gave us good advice and a special treat for my mum’s birthday. It’s a truly special place !

    It's the first time any of us in our group have dined at the Ivy Asia St Pauls and we weren't disappointed. We enjoyed a team lunch, the quality of food and menu choice is amazing. The décor is beautiful too. For a lunch service, it was good, we didn't feel rushed nor did we have to wait long at any point. Highly recommend for somewhere that isn't your run of the mill lunch option!.

    Kachori was recommended to us by a family member, what a great recommendation. We travelled from South West London for my daughter's 20th birthday and it was so worth the journey. The staff were very welcoming and attentive from the get go, we had a great table (a booth). The food was absolutely delicious in all respects and came at exactly the right time. The staff were kind enough to bring my daughter a complimentary birthday cake at the end of the meal and gave us some complimentary drinks for the birthday celebration. What a fabulous experience. I can't recommend highly enough.
