    Lovely social place - food was stunning, and waiting staff were friendly and attentive. Ambiance was friendly, yet quiet enough for us to have nice conversation over dinner - decoration of the place was lovely, with so many interesting things to look at. We were in a rush for dinner to be in time for a concert at SouthBank Centre, and they brought the dinners very quickly - really great. Totally recommend this place, and a lovely experience.

    Booked a lunch visit in London, having never been to Paro before. We’d heard about it at a family gathering. You know how people say you can tell when food is made with love? It’s absolutely true here! I had the Staff Railway Curry. Paired with pilau rice and garlic naan, it was absolutely delightful and far more filling than I expected. The whole experience was amazing—the staff were so friendly yet efficient.

    First-time visitors at Paro, and we’re truly impressed! The staff were incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. They gave us honest advice about portion sizes, which was really appreciated. The Bang Bang Chicken and Nani Jaan Chicken were highlights. Fantastic atmosphere and a very enjoyable evening out!

    We’re regulars at Paro, and it never disappoints. The food is always top-notch, and the service is exceptional. We travel all the way from Greenwich to Covent Garden just to eat here—that should tell you how good this place is. Favorites include the King Prawn Malaikari and the Gunpowder Lamb.

    Delicious food. Tried many small plates and mains as I was with a big group, and I loved everything I had. The Bang Bang Chicken and Onion Bhajis were especially memorable. The staff was very attentive and kind. Will definitely come back soon!

    Paro Covent Garden is exceptional. The ambiance is both elegant and welcoming, the service is flawless, and the food is consistently excellent. Every dish, from the Gunpowder Lamb to the Bally Black Daal, is presented beautifully and tastes even better. They also have a fantastic cocktail menu that perfectly complements the menu. What I love most about Paro is the consistency—I’ve dined here multiple times, and it has always been a 5-star experience. Highly recommend this gem!
