Great ambience but the food quality was OK and overly priced. Lamb kebabs were not moist and tender and the lemon cheesecake was dry. I had heard good reviews and had better expectations.

The ambience and actual decor of the venue is stunning. The service was unfortunately less than what we were expecting as some of the items of food did not arrive with the others so as a result we had to request it again. Additionally I do believe that the items are generally overpriced for the portion size and quality. Overall good but not great

Enjoyed a lovely evening. The food was very good especially the starters and the biryani was definitely worth trying. The service was a bit slow but friendly.

Great place, food was excellent but service was extremely bad. Unfortunately, our waiter or the man with the iPad taking the order was very rude.

I've been to 1947 twice now. Each time has been wonderful! The food is great, the ambiance is super chill and the staff were friendly. We ate the asparagus, corn and coconut samosa along with both chicken and lamb biriyani. No matter what you order, I'm sure that you will enjoy wonderfully prepared food.
