    We’ve been coming here for 15years. We moved away 4years ago but made it back for a visit to the Brilliant this weekend and it was every bit as good today as it was 15years ago. The best curry Indian restaurant in London.

    All the food is excellent at this restaurant it is good to try new dishes I have yet to be disappointed, but the stand outs fro me are the chicken wings, the lamb chops and the dal makhani. Sad to see Keema Peas off the menu it is the dish I always order when I dine here alone, but the rest of the meal was delightful.

    Both the food and the service were outstandingly good. This is a very authentic Punjabi venue. We loved it. The service is a tad slow, but this was more than made up for by the niceness of the staff and the quality of the food. It was.....well, brilliant!

    The usual high standard of food at the Brilliant my favourite Indian restaurant, however the service still good is slower than we have experienced in the past. This may have something to do with the Diwali celebrations that evening. Will certainly be going again.

    Lamb was so tender and full of flavour. Everything we ate was amazing. Great to see so many families eating together.

    Once again as I returned to London, my first choice is to go to The Brilliant. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. I recommend the biryani, any version and the tandoor lamp chops are a favorite. You cant go wrong visiting this delightful local hot spot!

    Superb food and service - only 2nd time at Brilliant, but when we can we most certainly will return again and again. A real pleasure to meet Dipna’s father Gulu - such a gentleman. A fantastic evening. Thank you Gulu, Dipna, Shanker & the whole team.
