Chakra

Tasty Indian food & Drinks with Good Services

Visited this place in this month with my friends for enjoying the Indian food & drinks, the atmosphere was so good and services were also good and better than expected. It was really a good experience with Chakra. And if you wants to enjoy with tasty Indian food then I will recommended to Chakra which is the best Indian food restaurant at affordable rates in London. We will visit this restaurant again!

Food was really disappointing. The menu is very fancy with gourmet master chef style dishes but tastes awful. Really expensive – starters are nearly £10 and u get 3 small pieces. I can't believe it has won awards – very dodgy! Please do not waste your time or money there. Spent £60 per person and a bowl of cereal at home would have even tastier!

The food was no way near as authentic as I would have expected. The paneer was as chewy as a piece of rubber.

We were very excited to have the head chef of Vama in our neighbourhood. We loved the food at Vama in Chelsea. So we keenly tried it last week with another couple of friends. The room was nice and chic, yet cozy enough. The seats were extremely comfortable. The waitress was very friendly but we could hardly hear her speak. She went through the way we should order as the menu is extremely confusing. They do not have starters and main courses. Everything seems to be whatever you want it to be…rather confusing as you don't know how large the dishes will be. We ordered a salad, chicken mince kebab, daal, fried okra, naan platter, crab curry and as our main courses, 2 lamb chops, tandoori prawns and roast quail and a bottle of wine. All the portions, other than the okra were rather small. The okra was delicious and a good nibbler with the wine. Daal was good. Naan selection was nice. So far, so good. Then came the lamb chops. They were disintegrating, literally, and tasted nothing like lamb chops. These used to be the reason we would eat at Vama and they were nothing like that at all. Rather disappointing, to say the least. The crab curry was one tiny little crab with a little sauce aka curry. It tasted very good but again stingy on the portion, considering it was around £17. Prawns (3 prawns) were so-so and certainly not worth £19. Our guest was happy with the quail. We left very disappointed with the overall experience. We had much greater expectation. The service can be toned down a bit. They are all over you and not relaxed. We left not feeling full enough after having spent around £185 for the four of us without dessert. I am sorry to say I will not be going back there at these prices and portions. There are much better Indian restaurants at much better value. I hope they adopt a different attitude.

very refreshing to have somewhere not central central to go for fine Indian food. different from the usual fare in Mayfair and really top notch fairly priced wine list to match the cocktail list is deadly. But the quality of the food is what stands out most a combination of the traditional meshed with some innovation. . will go back

Great new addition to Notting Hill… great location at the end of the High Street – very discreet, goes well with the decor. We did a sampling of a lot of things and each one exceeded expectations – the kebabs were out of this world – every meat and vegetable kebab melt in your mouth. Great attentive service… even though this was only week 1 we could not find any teething problems here… will def be going back!!
