High end Indian restaurant, serving very elaborate food. The atmosphere is great, and a lot of attention has been put in decorating the place. Nice and friendly service. The food was great, we started with "tapas" style dishes to share which were great, followed by great main courses. Excellent coktails choices, I particularly liked how gin orders are served. They have a home-brewed beer that is very good. Highly recommended!
Delicious Indian food with really fresh ingredients. Loved the interiors of the space with the iconic blue phone box! Can't wait to go back, been thinking about the red Leicester naans since.
We had a takeaway this evening which was outstanding. Do not miss the crispy Jerusalem Artichokes, but it was all very good indeed
Honestly the best place we ve found in a long time. The food is outstanding and service is great. If there were more stars we would give them! Definitely go try it, you will not regret it!!
Great place for Indian tapas evening. Very extensive menu. You can choose from tapas, set menu or full dishes menu. Very nice and cozy athmosphere. The owner himself gives a lot of character to the place. Place itself looks amazing.
Food was delicious, although not a great choice for vegetarians and it is quite expensive. We got a takeaway and the rice (which was expensive) was missing. Sent and email and called but got no response. Unhappy with their customer service.
A hidden gem! The whole group were impressed. Beautiful interiors, great cocktails and then the food... wow! Make sure you order the cheese nann.
We just had a fantastic meal from Flora Indica. I think this is the best Indian restaurant in London! They recently opened for delivery and you should definitely give it a try!
The food is absolutely delicious with such amazing flavours. This is also reasonably priced with good portions. Highly recommended!
I know tapas are huge now (well not literally since they're still small... but figuratively) so when I was craving Indian food and noticed this was a tapas restaurant I was a little apprehensive but I went for it anyway. The place itself has a great vibe, awesome for large groups (if you book in advance) or for yourself. Good for that first date 'I'm getting to know you' awkward list of questions you've asked or been asked; heads up as you start to plan your questions save any deep questions for the bar afterwards since there isn't much room between you and the next set of strangers *pro tip*.
I ordered the roti, 12 hr slow braised short rib, salmon, artichoke chaat, slow braised lamb shoulder, and of course naan.
Must have: HOLY SH** the properly named Jerusalem Artichoke Papdi Chaat is something special. It was like a spiritual experience but in my mouth (that sounds much worse than I intended). It covers smell, taste, texture so perfectly in a combination I would have never expected.
The quiet champion here was the lamb shoulder. I got this meal as a hail Mary (not another Jerusalem reference) since I challenged the waiter to give me something that could open my sinuses and fill me with regret in about an hour (you know what I mean). What he brought me was tender, moist (I know most people hate how that word sounds but eh) and flavorful savory dish I had all night (it had a slight kick, not the sinus clearing I requested but it was close)
Must skip: My only criticism is about the 12 hrs slow braised short rib. Now I believe in a slow braise and when you see 12 hours you know this was made with love and there's one thing you absolutely expect, which is the ability to use a spoon to break the meat apart. Unfortunately the meat itself was a little dry so it made it difficult to enjoy the flavors it was topped with. I really do think this dish COULD work but there has to be a better system in place to maintain the moisture in the meat.
My last note before I complete this rant is dedicated to the wait staff. Never underestimate the power a great waitstaff can have on your dining experience. The servers were extremely attentive and seemed to be invested in the restaurant completely. They provided myself and my cousin with a more than welcoming experience and for that I'm eternally grateful.
If you made it to the end of this my first question is why and second just do yourself a favor and book a reservation (or walk in like I did and hope for the best)

A hidden gem in London. Definitely worth a visit! One of the best, or maybe even the best Indian food in London. Reasonably priced, good portion, and always ask the waiter for recommendation. I recommend trying this place during lunch time instead as there's lesser crowd.
