    I am glad that we chose Kahani to celebrate wedding anniversary. The food ,service and ambience was just perfect or should I say it was exceptional. Out of All the dishes we had chettinad fish curry and grilled scallops was the star of the show. I loved how the chef had carefully created these dishes by blending British ingredients and with Indian spices and cooking. This restaurant has a lot of potential and thank you for making our time at kahani a special one.

    The food was delicious especially the scallops and the lamb chops - we ordered a variety of dishes and shared and the amounts were perfect. Will definitely return for the set meal- we had a concert so were time limited but the food we ordered was super speedy and we got to watch it being made in the kitchen. Special mention for the jazz band - wow we almost wished we had stayed later they were excellent.
