   Underwhelming. Unwelcoming and disinterested hostess,manager and atmosphere. The prices and quality of food are both high but dining experience itself lacked a warm atmosphere. Delivery drivers crowd around the entrance and the manager who marched past our little table several time never so much as glanced or nodded to us. A big price is only worth it if you leave feeling well fed and well cared for. We were even charged a ‘cover charge ‘ of %10 separate to service charge. The food itself is good. Perhaps Delivery is their main focus now ?

   Although the food was qualitative, the place is very narrow and not comfortable with inadequate square tables in the middle of a tiny room, the air conditioning did not really work, this is not the place for people with claustrophobia. No to little information about the menu Not a place for people inexperienced with Indian gastronomy, the staff was not trained for this kind of service. The restaurant does not deserve a 1 star Michelin. In conclusion, this was disappointing, and I definitely will not come back.

   We had the tasting menu. Food was very nice, perfect quantities, great flavours and with a balanced amount of spice. We were seated downstairs (I think it's called the game room) which was really crowded, with very limited space and a lot of noise so the atmosphere (or lack thereof) detracted from the experience. Even the service, which was well intended generally, could not be well executed with that amount of noise and congestion. I understand it was a Saturday night and it was full, but for many of us dining out during the week is not an option.

   Terrible. Very loud and very small to next table and service. No one was interested to take away coat and later to clean the table. But the worst thing was the noise, very loud Techno music, in a restaurant like this. It was a joke, but not a good one. Food was just normal, not bad, nothing very good or special. Expensive. And for sure: no star ! Sorry.

   Even if you do advance booking,they will seat you in basement, which is stuffy, only 1 person is their to take order, clear plates And serves, so you can imagine service Quality. My wife and myself ordered 5 small servings, 2 - veg & 3 - non veg , they served All 5 servings at a time, this service from Mechellin Star Restaurant. Food was just plain food served in any Normal restaurant. This restaurant is just normal walk in place For Londoner's, not a Fine Dinning place.

   Fantastic food and very good service - the tasting menu was a great mix. All dishes were delicious with favorites of the bass and the lamb

   Cannot believe that this place has a Michelin star! Service was average to poor. The restaurant is NOISY! What’s with the disco music that makes everyone shout to make themselves heard? Food was ok but nothing specials So disappointed. Will never return.

   Find it ridiculous that they charge service and Cover Charge. 5% service is for staff and the cover charge is for the restaurant.....how can they charge for doing the one thing they are in business for?? Ridiculous.

    Disappointing and Overpriced Experience I had high expectations for Jamavar, but unfortunately, it fell far short. The restaurant is way too expensive for what it offers. The ambiance was too noisy, making it hard to enjoy the meal. As for the food, it was very standard—nothing special or memorable, certainly nothing that felt Michelin-worthy. Overall, a huge disappointment. Definitely not worth the hype, and I won’t be returning.
