    Kinishka is our favourite restaurant in London and we make a point of dining here on every visit. We dined on Tuesday 17th December and opted, as usual, for the Tasting Menu. The anniversary menu, it has to be said, is nothing short of outstanding. And with a friendly and attentive team of staff, wonderful cocktails and a great ambiance, a very memorable evening was had. Thank you once again to the amazing Kanishka team, we will be back next year!

    We had our team Christmas lunch here and it was lovely! The set menu was varied and portion sizes were big. The food came quickly with attentive service but we were also not rushed at all from the table after we had finished our desserts. The restaurant was nicely decorated for Christmas.
