The Painted Heron (112 Cheyne Walk, London, London, SW10 0DJ) We had heard great things about the Painted Heron and so we were really looking forward to our visit. My husband and I are huge curry fans. We were seriously disappointed. Flavours were overall bland, quality of the lamb shank was dreadful and the vegetable side dish was undercooked and fairly unpleasant. To be fair, we did complain about the lamb and they brought another bowl of it which was slightly better, but still very fatty and all on the bone, which was difficult and fiddly to cut. The cost for two with one bottle of wine was £100. Really not worth it at all. We won't be going back and will stick to old favourites instead – Star of India, Old Brompton Road and Shazan, Knightsbridge.
