We booked a table at Kahani for a special occasion and had an absolutely wonderful experience. We were served by Akil, who was very friendly, gave us the best recommendations, and made us feel very welcome. The food was incredible; Indian cuisine at a level of ”fine dining“ that we had not experienced before. Everything, from the service to the atmosphere, made it a memorable night. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for something special.

Kachori was recommended to us by a family member, what a great recommendation. We travelled from South West London for my daughter's 20th birthday and it was so worth the journey. The staff were very welcoming and attentive from the get go, we had a great table (a booth). The food was absolutely delicious in all respects and came at exactly the right time. The staff were kind enough to bring my daughter a complimentary birthday cake at the end of the meal and gave us some complimentary drinks for the birthday celebration. What a fabulous experience. I can't recommend highly enough.
