Amaya

This is one hell of a restaurant. It's hidden a little bit behind Sloane Street in a small shopping and residential complex but once you find it you'll want the grid co-ordinates tattooed on your arm, a la Angelina Jolie. It's an Indian Restaurant but ultra modern and the food is consistently creative while never ever loosing touch of its authenticity and heritage. The grilled meats in particular are a fine example of this and they also do one of the best tasting menus I've ever had.

There's also a bar in one section of the restaurant and although I'm not a huge fan of the cocktails and curry combination it feels much more natural here. Nothing is done purely for the sake of following trend and the setting does complete the occasion. And most occasions are suited to this place, especially those that fall just after payday - Amaya doesn't come cheap.

Truly an incredible dining experience! Amaya's Michelin star is well deserved! You absolutely must try the Black Pepper Chicken Tikka, the King Scallops, the Goat's Cheese & Yogurt Kebab, and the Chicken Curry. This might be my top restaurant ever! If you love Indian food, you simply must try!

Food, drinks, service and ambia always topform. one of our most favorite London restaurants.

Definitely deserving of the star! Exquisite. Be prepared. It is not your typical Indian restaurant , so don't come expecting your regular Butter chicken. Tyson curated our experience, describing each dish in detail.
Well worth it

Food and service were excellent.
Portion size was the smallest I've ever had and far to expensive. 5 people came out to over 1,000 GBP!
Not worthy of a Michelin rating, not enough, not worth it in any way.

The worst part was the table of unruly, loud and disgusting patrons behind us. No manners! Wild animals act better! At one point the man at the table of his WIVES and children spit on the floor next to my family member who was wearing a dress. He thought she shouldn't wear such revealing clothing outside and cursed at the whole table telling us we are heathens and that women shouldn't be seen and that our men should punish us women. Welcome to the 21st century London.
If men from other places can't deal with women wearing and saying what they want they shouldn't dine out in London!


Disgusting behavior and the restaurant did nothing.

The most amazing Indian food served Tapas style. For a group of 4, plan on at least 6 dishes and don't be afraid to experiment. The vegetarian foods are outstanding. M favorite is the lamb chops and the sea bass. Go For It!!

This was excellent. We came and ordered a lot, with my favorites being the sweet potato chaat, lamb chops, and minced chicken. Overall I'd say this is a great place for very well made accessible Indian food. Of our group of four, I have Gymkhana in a totally different league, while the other three (who don't handle spice as well and aren't looking for something particularly new) all were at least slightly more neutral or even preferred Amaya, so I think it's largely dependent on what you're looking for in an Indian meal. Hard to go wrong with either though.

Nothing about this restaurant is Michelin.
Nope. Sorry. Nada.
Good enough food.
But nothing worth the $ or hype.

The welcome at the door was friendly. When we were sat at our table, the attention given to us by our waiter was amazing; timely and not intrusive. He asked us if we'd been there before (which we hadn't) and then gave us a briefing in the restaurant and the menu. We went for the non-vegetarian menu and we're really impressed with all the dishes. As each course was presented to us, we were given an explanation of what was in the table. That helped as you tend to forget what is in a tasting menu! All the dishes tasted so good. We will definitely be coming back here again.

Power food and service. Consistently good year after year. We will be back next trip. Great location and quiet.

Lovely experience in late July 2021 coming out of COVID times. It was, blissfully, a non issue during the meal so could focus on what matters; food and service.

We shared quite a few dishes, and they seem to change with time so the website doesn't have the full selection, but what I will say is that for a one Michelin star place it very much lived up to expectations, each dish was filled with so much nuance and talent plus service was excellent. Attentive let casual and unpretentious.

We did have the chilli lamb and the prawns, both of which seem to be menu standards so can't fault there. Also had a salted ice cream, sweet pastry dessert (I forget the name...) which was a lovely sweet end to the meal. Cocktails also fantastic; wife had their version of a Pimm's cup and myself their negroni. At £13 each not a bad price for the neighborhood or level of restaurant.
