When you come to Opheem, you get an insight into the inner workings of my mind. We’re striving to push the boundaries with Indian flavours, but with cooking techniques from all over the world, some traditional, and some very modern. At Opheem, I’ll be using the same paints as I’ve always done, to create a very different picture, on a very, very different canvas. Why? Because to evolve and adapt is what makes us human, and cooking is what sets us apart from the animals.

    We have been to Opheem a number of times now and each time it just gets better. We both agreed that this may well be our favourite restaurant in England. The staff are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The drinks in the bar are great but the food is the start of the show. The flavours, spices and textures are a wonder to behold and we have already book for our next vist.

    The whole experience was outstanding! We were seated in the lounge for pre meal snacks and drinks before being taken into the main restraunt. The food was outstanding as was wine and champagne. The staff were knowledgeable and attentive and could not have been nicer!

    A Culinary Masterpiece at Opheem Dining at Opheem was an unforgettable experience that left us in awe of both the artistry and passion behind its exceptional cuisine. Opting for the 5-course tasting menu during our visit on Wednesday evening, we were treated to a journey of flavours that were as refined as they were inventive. Each dish was a testament to the creative genius of Chef Aktar Islam and his team, blending traditional Indian influences with modern techniques in ways that delighted the senses. From the very first bite, it was clear that each plate had been crafted with meticulous attention to detail. The balance of flavours, the textures, and the presentation were flawless—elevating every course into a work of art. It was impossible to pick a favourite dish as every course brought something unique to the table, showcasing a remarkable depth of culinary skill. The service was equally impeccable. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, their knowledge of the dishes and wine pairings enhancing the entire experience. Every interaction felt warm and genuine, creating an atmosphere of relaxed elegance that perfectly complemented the meal. The highlight of the evening, however, was our post-dinner conversation with Chef Aktar Islam. His dedication to his craft and his customers was evident in every word, and it was truly inspiring to hear firsthand about his culinary philosophy. It is rare to encounter a chef so committed to pushing boundaries while maintaining such a profound respect for the origins of his cuisine. Opheem is not just a restaurant; it is an experience—one that transcends dining and enters the realm of art. We left feeling not only satisfied but deeply inspired. This is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates extraordinary food and exceptional hospitality. We cannot recommend it highly enough and look forward to returning to see what new creations await us.

    Me and my wife went for our anniversary and we were certainly not dissapointed. Everything about the experience was spot on, not just the food (which was exceptional) but the way the evening was organised. We started in the lounge with a drink and some incredible bites to eat, then up to the restaurant and having the chefs bring the food to your table, explaining about the various dishes, then back to the lounge for another drink and some additional desserts. We felt so relaxed all night and the cost seems a lot but it's worth every penny. The staff were all incredibly welcoming and they were all working their socks off, a credit to themselves and Opheem.
