I am glad that we chose Kahani to celebrate wedding anniversary. The food ,service and ambience was just perfect or should I say it was exceptional. Out of All the dishes we had chettinad fish curry and grilled scallops was the star of the show. I loved how the chef had carefully created these dishes by blending British ingredients and with Indian spices and cooking. This restaurant has a lot of potential and thank you for making our time at kahani a special one.

Amazing experience! We went for the 6 course set menu with wine pairing and absolutely loved it. Special shout out to the staff (especially Sharukh) who were super friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel welcome as soon as we entered. 10/10 would recommend.

The food was delicious especially the scallops and the lamb chops - we ordered a variety of dishes and shared and the amounts were perfect. Will definitely return for the set meal- we had a concert so were time limited but the food we ordered was super speedy and we got to watch it being made in the kitchen. Special mention for the jazz band - wow we almost wished we had stayed later they were excellent.
