Upscale Indian dishes from the southwest coast using fish and coconut

Trishna @trishnalondon is one of few halal Indian Michelin stared restaurants in London and has been on my list for a long time. They offer a decent lunch bites menu, where 2 dishes £19 per person, 3 for £24, 4 for £29 and 5 for £34. I ordered a total of 6 dishes which are the following, plus lamb chops from the la carte menu for £18.
Starters
Paneer tikka anardana [fried onion, mint, corn & pomegranate chat]
Punjabi vegetable samosa chat [chickpea masala, tamarind, sweet yoghurt]
Mains
Andhra lamb masala [curry leaf, coastal spices]
Moplah seafood biryani [seabass, shellfish, coriander, pink peppercorn raita]
Sides
Bread basket, basmati rice, Hyderabadi dal and wild mustard potatoes
Desserts
Gajar halwa [heritage carrot pudding, masala chai kulfi, cake]
Cardamom kheer [fig, raisin, pistachio, cardamom]

First of all, there was a lot of food and the portions where great, I was very pleased with the amount of food that arrived, I was very well fed and stuffed after lunch. I have to say I was expecting more for a Michelin stared restaurant, apart from the lamb chops nothing stood out or really made an impression. The lamb chops where very thick and very good, cooked well and Burnt on the outside not dry, and very juicy and moist inside infused with a tandoori flavour a very good piece of meat here. 
Venue wise, the space is small and similar to a cafe in shoreditch, I was expecting better from the decor and the service was rather average for a one star Michelin. Booking was required and we were shown to out table at 1.45pm straight away. I just felt the staff where slight unattentive. Each meal was introduced when brought to the table as standard by a restaurant with a Michelin Star. 
The total bill was under £70 which is very good considering it is a Michelin starred restaurant. However, after leaving I noticed that they charged me for 2 dishes per person and not 3. 😂😃 Full review will be posted on www.halalfoodguy.co.uk 
Chicken and lamb halal only.

@halalfoodguy's review of Trishna Marylebone on Instagram

Trishna

Probably the best Indian I’ve ever been to. I normally not big fan of Michelin, as it means the portions are small and the look is more important than the flavor. Over here, it’s not the case portions are a perfect size and food was exceptional. The staff was amazing, to start at the door all the way to our table. We ordered almost everything (yes, everything, even the waiter was surprised). And there was nothing disappointing (beside two desserts out of the 4).
Def recommend.

Food was delicious, staff were great and ambience was lovely. Price was reasonable.

Just didn’t give a 5 star as I don’t think it blew us away. Have tried a few Michelin star Indian restaurants as part of a recent fad and definitely had better. Not to say that the food wasn’t great, just not a revolution of the palates.

Desserts were surprisingly good though - really liked the Rhubarb and Pistachio ice cream. The ginger ale mix was also a interesting twist.

Wonderful lunch at Trishna given the tasty food, relaxing dining environment & excellent hospitality of servicing staff. Food was not overly spicy but still rich in flavours. The lightly curry flavoured fried squid & shrimps were good, minced duck skewer was very flavourful & juicy. The main course lamb was cooked in rich sauce with the meat almost melting in mouth. Very good value lunch & high standard Indian dishes.

One of the best dining experiences. We had a 5 course tasting menu and really enjoyed it! The food not only tastes amazing, but looks like a piece of art too. Not to mention the service we received was excellent.

The service is impeccable. The wait staff are friendly and helpful, but also know when to leave you alone to enjoy company of the person you're with, and the meal itself.

I wouldn't say the food is worthy of a Michelin. The lamb curry is very ordinary. Probably had better in Tooting to be honest. I won't be rushing back.

Great selection of wines.

Our chicken, lamb and goat is Halal. There is no pork on the menu and we prepare separately to non-Halal ingredients to avoid cross-contamination. Alcohol is served.
