Square Meal review of Trishna: ? Write your review

It didn’t take Trishna long to make an impact, & supporters of this modern Indian one-year-old are keen to sing its praises. The cool, coastal decor echoes the kitchen’s fondness for seafood, & the light fragrant dishes are described as ‘simply heavenly’. Runaway favourites include rich, coconut-tinged ‘market’ curry (sea bass on our visit) & Dorset ‘brown’ crab curry (gently fried in a buttery sauce tempered with black pepper & garlic). Non-piscine options also come up trumps, including roasted tamarind aubergine stuffed with paneer & peanuts, & show-stopping lamb chops, marinated & char-grilled to melting softness. If some find prices high, most respondents agree that ‘meals are worth mortgaging your home for’. The tasting menu (£32 for seven courses plus top-notch sundries) & set lunch (from £13.50) help rein in spending. Early reports of ‘jerky’ service seem to have been allayed, making Trishna ‘definitely one for the “go to” list’.

Appalling service and a lack of staff professionalism. We dined last night using SquareMeal's 25% food discount and were made to feel like second class citizens. Twice the maitre'd publicly (and embarrasingly) questioned the validity of the offer I agreed on booking. What followed was farcical: a number of the dishes on the menu were unavailable. Since our wine was hidden from us, waiters had to be repeatedly called to fill our wine glasses. Upon leaving the restaurant we noticed in a bucket half a bottle of our dessert wine remaining – the waiter conceded he'd completely forgotton it was ours. With so much better competition in the area (e.g. The Colony) this kind of amateurism is unacceptable at this price.

Following the above visit in April… we decided to pay Trishna another visit on Saturday night (Aug) since we were in the area. It was a different and much improved experience compared to the last time I was there. Service was helpful and on the right side of friendly. Food and service were outstanding. Our guests – both vegetarian – asked for a dish not on… More

Highly recommend Trishna! Stunning food, as to be expected from such a highly calibre restaurant.
Every morsel of the taster menu was exceptional — we were struck by the artfulness and originality of the ‘taste design’. Something noteworthy to experience with each tapas-like course. The service was peerless — professional, knowledgeable, personable. Ambience/dining area was relaxed, comfortable, chic, and smart. Staff were attentive and welcoming.

Almost 2 years since I last went, the food here is still great. The squid starter is a favourite, and there's a delicious selection of other starters too. The lamb chops were perfect and the bream is a great idea. Of course the crab is a must as well as the most amazing mango rice- pudding…The waiters were very attentive, friendly and prefessional- even with the place being pretty packed on a weeknight. I shall definitely be a regular.

As someone who has only recently started to enjoy Indian cuisine but loves seafood I was really looking forward to eating at Trishna, as had read some great reviews and heard about their speciality in seafood dishes.

Was pleasantly surprised to find a lovely light atmosphere and friendly staff, when I visited on 26th May. The place was packed for a Wednesday night. But what really stood out was the amazing food! Can highly recommend the lamp chops, but you can't miss out on the bream and the crab – both so fresh and perfectly spiced.

Will be back again soon – perfect for my next work dinner with clients, or a great night out with friends!

Really looking forward to this having seen the menu and the website only to be sorely dissapointed. Tried the tasting menu and found that a lot of the dishes were overspiced with one particular spice, ie too much pepper in the Crab main, too much cinnamon in a couple of dishes. Lacked subtlety.

Service was incredibly slow with simple requests like bringing an appropriate amount on Naan Bread with Mains taking forever to be fulfilled. The King Prawn was lovely and the highlight of the taster menu but a colleague told me he'd seen it at £8 for one on the a la Carte Menu!! Will most definitely not be going back.

Not in the same league as the other upmarket Indian restaurants in London. Benares, Tamarind and Veery have nothing to worry about from this overpriced, poorly flavoured and over cooked wannabe. 3 hours to serve a tasting menu says it all really. Save your cash and go to one of the others.

This seafood Indian restaurant is a gem in Marylebone. I have been to this restaurant several times since its opening – it has never failed to impress friends and clients that I brought along. The restaurant really knows how to serve its seafood in authentic Indian style. Order the crispy squid served with chilli and lime – it is simply superb. My best friend and I really enjoyed the coriander and mint coated seabream. The lamb chops marinated with Kashmiri chilli, mustard and ginger are really succulent – it simply melts in your mouth. My boyfriend and I love the seafood biryani served with daal and yoghurt. The wine list is also very impressive. I have been to many Indian restaurants before but this is the only one that knows how to serve authentic Indian tea! The staff are very friendly and happy to serve you. The setting is stylish and contemporary, yet warm and cozy.
