Square Meal Review of Red Fort ?

Apparently the first Indian restaurant in the UK to bring over chefs from the subcontinent, the Red Fort has become a byword for ‘meticulous’ & ‘fragrant’ Mughal cuisine since launching in Soho some 30 years ago. It certainly looks elegant, with white linen on tables at the rear, & moody photos of the eponymous 18th-century military complex. The front half has recently been designated the Brasserie at the Red Fort, serving small plates of chaat & kebabs (from £4.25) & large helpings of chicken shashlik, prawn malai & grilled sea bass (£8.50-13.50), which should offset complaints about ‘extortionate’ prices. Meanwhile, the ‘superb’ carte continues, offering Hyderabadi bhuna gosht (with Herdwick lamb), roast rabbit with mustard & fennel, & tandoori Gressingham duck breast – ‘well worth the extra pounds’. The wine list has some serious drinking from the big-name French regions.

    The worst indian in London. Extortionate pricing coupled with terrible quality I could not have been more disappointed. Food arrived quick, with no authentic taste. The bill arrived quicker. If you want to put a hole in your wallet at least do it in style and head to Amaya, Salloos or Cinnamon Kitchen. I am surprised its made Squaremeals best in Soho list. They usually know what they are talikng about. Well I do. I am an Indian.

    I came here with my family on the weekend to celebrate my graduation and I had a wonderful evening.
    My parents chose The Red Fort as I love Indian food and it's known to be one of the best in London.

    The food was delicious and we had a wide range of dishes and platters the tandoori sea bass was particularly good and I particularly recommend the dum ke aloo, a sort of vegetable dumpling in a rich creamy sauce which was absolutely superb. The meals are richly cooked with fragrant spices with such meticulous detail that we would never experience in our local curry house in Manchester.

    There was a very stylish bar downstairs, which serves delicious lassis and cocktails. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to stay for a long time as I had a train home but I will definitely be visiting in the future,
    The service accompanying our meal was pretty good; the staff were knowledgeable and helpful when it came to selecting our dishes and choosing wines.

    Prices are known to be high, however, given the area and quality it is to be expected and well worth the extra pounds. It was a fantastic evening and I really look forward to coming again.

    Food's fine, service good, but the cost is EXTORTIONATE. Do yourself a favour and go to MELA in Covernt Garden instead

    Wonderful restaurant and the renovation since last years fire next door has done wonders to the place.
    The food is wonderful, just remember to ask for the set menu if you want to try lots of lovely dishes for a really great price, esp as the waiting staff will not naturally put it on the table.
    This is a great place for a large group or intimate dinner, highly recommended, I have been here about 6 times now, and the food is always spot on.
