    We booked the pre-theatre deal. Excellent choices and value for money. The food was really good - wonderful moist and flavourful chicken tikka, and the lamb rogan curry was also delicious with soft meat and a lovely flavour. Great freshly cooked naan bread also yummy. Portion size very good so no room for dessert sadly. Loved the look and buzzy atmosphere and the staff were both polite and efficient. Recommended!

    Booked the Sunday offer which was okay but korma was thin and not tasty. Service was okay but the waiters had not been trained very well and had no idea how to serve with finesse. Disappointed after the hype about Paro.

    The food was amazing, and I loved the atmosphere in the restaurant, it was also good value for central London. The service did feel a little rushed but we still had plenty of time to enjoy our meal.

    We went to Paro as part of a large group on a Thursday evening and the restaurant was busy with a good atmosphere. We were seated on time and a drinks order taken very quickly. We all had a variety of meals and all were very happy with the food served and the speed at which it arrived. The staff were great from the moment we arrived to when we left. Will definitely be back and would recommend.
