Darjeeling Express London Reviews
A lot better Indians out there for a lot less money.
Went here Saturday night and was extremely dissatisfied,everything I had was over spiced and far to hot,Iv had a lot better Indian cuisine for a lot less money than the £65 per head we paid,when I questioned the discretionary tip I was told that it
Fantastic food and a very extensive menu.
This became our go-to spot,,actually,ordered twice from them this week. So far we have loved everything we have tried. Looking forward to the next visit.
So delicious…
My wife, niece, and I had a terrific lunch here. We went along with the recommendations of the friendly and helpful staff. And wow the dishes were superb. Unusually for me, where the camera eats first, I forgot to take pictures of the main courses -
Worth the visit
Got reservations for dinner but was skeptical as its prefix 3 course. I prefer a la carte. Menu ended up being quite extensive! We were 3 and each ordered different dishes. We shared it all. Each was excellent. We loved all the food and the service w
As above
When i arrived greatly impressed by the young man who greeted us, I walk with a stick and I noticed the young took us to the nearest table which I appreciated. The staff explained the menu, the food was excellent. The ambience of the restaurant was
Brilliant food
The food was amazing with good advice from the staff The chili cheese toastie was served with incredible sauces and prawns cooked to perfection Standout main was paneer curry..absolutely gorgeous flavours My apricot dessert was delicious
Very good
Always wanted to visit and glad we did - we booked in advance which I'd recommend, even on a Weds at 730pm it was busy. A nice location off Carnaby St and in what seems to be a food court - all of the restaurants were busy. A lovely welcome and
The most scrumptious meal!
What a scrumptious meal! My husband and I came for dinner to celebrate our anniversary and we couldn't have picked a better venue. The space itself is charming and our servers made us feel right at home! We had the Set Dinner Menu and ended up o
Excellent restaurant but a tad bit pricy
We ate here around 6 pm on a Saturday with my 5-year-old, wife and best friend. We all loved it. There was no wait; the atmosphere was great; service impeccable; and most importantly every single dish was delicious. For dinner you cannot do a la cart
Darjeeling Express: Indian home-cooked food that even a novice can savour
I fell in love with the Chef's Table speciality of Indian home cooking at Darjeeling Express (I rarely eat Indian food!). . The lamb, beef, and chicken were tender and tasty, and the chutneys were addictive and made the free appetisers shine. My
Just like my Grandmother made
From the moment we entered we were greeted with a friendly and professional team of staff. We were offered a complimentary cocktail and offered some tips on the menu. I had the keema toast which reminded me of something that my grandmother made. That

Loved the food here - its been on my bucket list since the Netflix show, however always missed it either because there were no reservations available or other plans! Came here for lunch where we wanted to snack and not eat a big meal - got the lemon
A Perfect Meal
Tried the set menu at Darjeeling Express and loved every bit of it. Flavours were rich, portions just right, and the service was incredible. The place has such a lovely vibe too. Absolutely worth it. Definitly going again😍
Honest review, walking in and perhaps due to rush hours.
Felt neglected and cornered but somehow my server Lulu noticed my energy and went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed. Food spoke volume for itself but end of the day, one cares about how they are treated. Lulu made me feel like a guest in her
While it is near impossible to try every single Indian
While it is near impossible to try every single Indian restaurant in London, if you ever get the chance, please try to eat at this establishment. Our server Radha was absolutely amazing in providing detailed information about the dishes on the menu,
By far my fave London restaurant.
We came for the fixed dinner menu and I think could eat their korma every day for the rest of my life. Cocktails are quite cool as well. Bought the cookbook before I left as an added treat!!

Had a wonderful meal at Darjeeling Express.
The restaurant is in Soho which is a very cute part of London. Apple maps lead us outside the building, but you have to make your way into Kingly Court to find it on the top of floor near the lift. The service was loverly and the atmosphere magical

Love this place! Went there after seeing Usma on Chefs Table on Netflix and it didn't disappoint. Was like a trip back to my childhood. So much fun to see Bengali cuisine celebrated and elevated

Great food and service! The restaurant is located on the top floor of Kingly Court (there is a lift and stairs in the center of the court). Reservations are usually required, as we saw customers get turned away without reservations, and the restauran

A little hard to find at the top of Kingly Court but SO worth the climb. Some of the best food we had in London. The atmosphere was warm and buzzy and service is supreme. Portion size is a plenty and the owner came by to greet us. She said they make

Like others, I came here because of Chef's Table! Well my friends watched it and told me to come, I don't watch it myself! Came on a weekday lunch right at opening and was able to get seated right away. The restaurant did get filled up qui
True taste of India
An amazing restaurant and experience. The service was excellent - very friendly, attentive and helpful. I had the Keema toasty for starter and the Kosha Mangsho (recommend by the staff) for main with the Tamarind dal as a side. It was all incredible
Super flavorful meal - definitely on the pricier end as it
Super flavorful meal - definitely on the pricier end as it is prefix but everything that came out was delicious. Fantastic service and super attentive. I love how you get to try and mix a little bit of everything on the plate that comes out. The sour
Very excited to visit this restaurant.
The experience was casual, yet very comfortable. The waitstaff was excellent and the service was top marks. The lunch began with a few of their indian toasties--for you Americans, that's a grilled cheese. We then moved to some little puchkas, pockets
Grateful experience with friends.
This place is a surprisingly hidden gem inside the most Carnaby charming spot, Kingly Court. The food was great but today, I would like to highlight the SERVICE. Everyone was nice and helpful, specially Renata who gave us a master class about the res
Don’t Miss the Best Indian restaurant in London!
Amazing food! This was the very best meal we had in London. The food was amazing. The service was exceptional. We had the owner/chef, Asma Khan come out to meet us and say thanks for coming! Wow! Don’t miss this while in London it was worth the ca
Perfect business dinner
Great set menu, but with variance spice. Fantastic food and Service, Darjeeling Express had set up a private room with fantastic service throughout the experinence

Do not make the same mistake I made by using the Yelp
Do not make the same mistake I made by using the Yelp address, it's wrong. Look up Kingly Court instead. A bit pricey £65, but the food is excellent. Dinner is not served a la carte. You get a choice of an appetizer and main dish. It comes with a
Spice Infusion Delight: A Taste of India at Darjeeling Express
Darjeeling Express, now that's a spot where flavor and ambiance come together a treat. Their authentic Indian grub's a proper dazzler: each dish bursting with a riot of flavors and aromas, leaving a lasting impression. Service is top-notch – attent
Over-priced
Ludicrously expensive - £65, set price- for what is basically ordinary indian food. A lot of little dishes, but they charge extra for even something as simple as prawns. Avoid.
Atmosphere is light with a warm feeling of India.
The food is of home and any Mother would be proud you found a good substitute. The staff makes you feel relaxed and welcomed and I can't wait to go back and try more treasure of India.
Superb night out
This is by far the best Indian restaurant I have ever been in. The food was amazing and the staff superb especially TJ who was excellent very polite and her knowledge of the menu was second to none. The food concept and the way it’s delivered to y
Suggestion for an even better experience
Delicious food but to have time to savour it would be better to have the set dinner menu for lunch instead of in the evening! Would have liked to spend my relaxed evening trying out different dishes. Thalis are more suited for lunch when time is of t
Gawd!!! London is known for great Indian cuisine.
So it's no surprise to find a solid restaurant but holy shot this food is kick ass. The staff know what you need and guide you through each flavor. The paneer alone is kiss yo momma good, but the goat and chicken curries holy hell good.
Really outstanding food and drinks.
Surprising as I've found most high end Indian food tends to be average. Not here. And outstanding service!
- excellent Indian cuisine - really enjoyed the chicken

Delicious; great ambiance; and recommend the lassis! Complex profiles. The service was also exceptional
I found out about this place on Chef's Table.
I was excited to try it out when we visited London recently and I am so happy I did. We went for dinner to try the Royal Thali. Certainly more pricey than I typically dine but it's special so why not. Wow I loved it!! I picked the chicken and prawns

They moved to kings court address, we that the pre fix menu and I picked blackened chickpeas and beef. It was amazing-arrive was impeccable and they were able to make changes to accommodate my lactose intolerance. Highly recommend. Not too spicy an
The food is quite an extraordinary experience, the tastes
The food is quite an extraordinary experience, the tastes were authentic, and the service we received was extremely friendly, and welcoming. The decor indoors is very pleasing to look at, which goes hand in hand with the lighting indoors. Will come h
What a lovely little place.
Cozy seating, with a great view of the activity in the Kitchen. We met Asma Khan briefly at a reception while she was on her way to another event. Later that week we had the opportunity to visit with a group. Asma and her (mostly female) staff pulled
The best Indian food I have ever had
I'm sure like many people, I first heard about Darjeeling Express and Asma Khan from the Netflix series Chef's Table. Asma's journey and the restaurant sounded so interesting, I decided that when I found myself in London, I would go. Luckily, they be
Amazing food, lovely staff
We had the best time here, the food was phenomenal and the staff were lovely. Asma came over at the end of the meal and chatted, a really great and welcoming experience.
Great afternoon
Thank you so much to all the team at Darjeeling Express for providing us with delicious food and wonderful service during our afternoon at your restaurant. This is a great place for a truly authentic Indian food experience.
Fantastic new location
A great new location for Darjeeling Express. Food and service was excellent. Love the ethos behind it. Asma took the time to come and talk to us which was lovely.
Ultimately disappointed.
Dinner with long standing friends, shown to our table at 7.45pm. All started off so well, drinks ordered, then to the food order. I fancied the beef, advised no beef! It’s a set tasting menu why wouldn’t you have all of the produce? No matter,
Lovely meal at Darjeeling express
Went to Darjeeling Express yesterday and had a lovely time. New restaurant looks fab and is much roomier. We had a real feast. Lots of food and everything tasted amazing. We particularly loved the chickpea and chicken starters. Our waitress was lovel

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Darjeeling Express London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Darjeeling Express London page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Darjeeling Express London to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Darjeeling Express London!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
