About the restaurant

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.

Very high class from start to finish. Service amazing and staff highly professional and friendly. A special shout out to Will Taylor-Lucas who demonstrated everything that is good about the younger generation. The food was unique and "to die for"!! Thank you - we will be back - as soon as we can afford it. Only suggestion - don't add 12.5% service charge to bill - it is about the right price without that - let people add tips if they want to - I would have!!!! Thanks for a great night out.

This place is ridiculously good. We went as a treat, as the cost was high. But once at the end of it, we realised it's actually incredible value for money. The food is outstanding, the service is impeccable, and their approach makes fine dining a cosy and fun experience.

About the restaurant

Set in a gorgeous Grade II-listed Georgian villa, the decor is bright and modern but respects the building’s elegance and heritage.

The food, too, respects classical tradition, but is a contemporary take on British cuisine - combining influences from around the world in dishes based on fabulous impeccably sourced seasonal ingredients.

Enjoy an aperitif in one of the elegant lounges in the older part of the building before moving on to the sleek restaurant with its blonde wood beams, exposed stone walls and bi-fold doors opening onto the garden.

The knowledge and experience of Head Chef Luke Tipping shows through in the assured, confident nature of the cooking – and he has the skill to know when to hold back. Dishes are balanced and pure, with subtle modern touches and a pleasing clarity of flavour; be sure to try the signature tapenade bread rolls and delicious soufflés.

Service is enthusiastic and brims with personality.

Me and my husband often do tasting menus and have been to a few Michelin star restaurants and I have to say this is probably the best one we've ever been to. The food was amazing, varied and of course full of flavour (we had the plant based menu which we often find has more effort into the flavourings). We had wine pairing which I'm often unsure of, as I feel rushed. This experience was not like that, the wine amount is just right, sommelier lovely and knowledgeable and it pairs perfectly. What I also have to say is, although it's Michelin star, it doesn't have the pretentiousness that often comes with it. The service was brilliant, friendly and the dishes come out on respectable plates which is all about the food and not the plate if that's makes sense! I never submit reviews but I really had to say this is a must go if you're into Michelin tasting menus and are vegan!
