    Kahani offers an adequate dining experience, but it falls short of being memorable. We opted for the Dawat tasting menu, which, while not unpleasant, was underwhelming in its execution. The dishes were straightforward and felt like they lacked the creativity or refinement that sets exceptional restaurants apart. Can’t complain abaout the quantity of food as that was a lot. But In a city like London, where culinary innovation and value abound, Kahani feels average for its price point and location. Service was good and can’t pin point at anything that was problematic but perhaps could be more polished with more storytelling about the Chef’s background and his vision. They were really sweet about changing the lamb options to fish/ chicken for my friend. For those seeking standout flavours or a truly impressive experience, there are undoubtedly better options to explore.

    Restaurant is too noisy, you can’t speak with each other.Food is so spicy that the taste is completely gone. The tables are too close to each other, so no privacy at all. We had a wine pairing but we never saw the bottles, they bring the glasses to your table. Nothing for us it’s more an expensive food shed. But if you like crowded places a lot of noise and too spicy food, this is your place.

    We love Kahani. The food is delicious - a particular treat are their biryanis. The atmosphere is great - this was the first time we had been on a Saturday night and it was full and buzzy, but not too loud. The service is fantastic and staff are very helpful at choosing dishes and wine. In the past we've had the tasting menu which is well worth it.

    We attended the Jazz night and opted for the 4 course and a samosa platter. Food was delicious, service was amazing and jazz bank/ambience was great. I felt the 4 course was a great menu - all courses were amazing.
