Kahani Belgravia

Birthday dinner at Kahani, a modern Indian restaurant in Knightsbridge serving bold flavours and beautifully presented dishes. We started with the Pani Puri, a generous portion of six pieces, crisp and full of spice. The Konkani Soft-Shell Crab was incredible: perfectly fried, full of flavour, and one of those dishes you immediately want to order again. The Samosa Platter (lamb, potato, and chicken) was golden, comforting, and well seasoned. The Swordfish & Octopus Curry was a standout, rich, fragrant, and layered with flavour, and a surprise to find it made with coconut milk, which worked beautifully. The swordfish was incredibly soft and tender, almost melting into the sauce. Paired perfectly with naan and tandoori roti fresh from the oven. Drinks were nicely presented. We had the ‘K’ Star Martini and the New Fashioned from the seasonal menu. Both were well balanced, though they could have been a touch stronger given they were house specials. Beautiful setting, attentive service, and refined cooking that still feels warm and comforting. Definitely worth a visit for a special occasion.

My husband gifted me a voucher for my 30th birthday for a tasting menu at Kahani and it did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in I knew the service would be impeccable and the food was simply delicious. There wasn’t a single dish we didn’t enjoy. So so worth the money. The best dinner we’ve had in a long time and such a perfect way to end my birthday celebrations. All that’s left to say is, thank you!

Service was great, polite staff, lovely interiors, not too noisy and tasty food. Although it's a different unique take on Indian cuisine so some dishes may not meet everyones taste buds. But overall a great experience from entrance to end. Would recommend you keep 2 to 3 hours available if you're trying the Six Course Tasting Menu, as each course is served separately and gets bigger in portion sizes as you go.
