Love their Tandoori - had lobster and shrimp this visit along with Garlic Naan and Ice Cream with Cardamon (not a desert lover but this was tasty). They do a great job of getting the lobster and shrimp done just right and not over or under cooked like many places. Have had their chicken Tandoori in the past many times and even had it catered for a large group who loved it. You won't be disappointed with Bindia.

Food was excellent. Staff worked hard to make us happy. The only draw back was the fixed menu on Valentines Day was not mentioned beforehand so we were a bit disappointed not being able to try their whole menu. Otherwise excellent service and food

Fantastic meal, and service. The portions do err on the smaller side which was perfect for lunch, but I would suggest getting an appetizer if you’re looking for a full dinner. We had the veggie samosas to start, paneer tikka, channa masala, rice and naan. The spice level of everything was perfect as well. We love spice, but you never know what someone else’s idea of spicy is so I’m always hesitant. The medium was a very comfortable level for someone who likes spice. Overall we had a fantastic experience. Our server was wonderful, and we will definitely be back.

My colleague and I enjoyed an enjoyable lunch. Tasty food and no rush. Being a bit on the older side, the sound from conversations was a little high a few times. But not overbearing. Someday, will try the deserts.

Our group of four ate on a Thursday night. The resto was half full which suited us fine. The food was served very quickly...we asked for lamb to be added to the saag (not on the menu) and they were very accommodating. Everything was piping hot and delicious! A great evening...would definitely go back!!

This delightful restaurant, with its delicious food, is one of our favourites. We have often suggested it to friends and in this case we went with a long-time friend who had come to visit all the way from Texas! He is sophisticated, having lived over the years in several other countries, and he agreed that the food was wonderful. The service was attentive. We enjoyed our meal very much would highly recommend Bindia.

Bindia served some of the best Indian food I have ever had, and I have eaten in some of the best Indian restaurants in London. The outdoor patio looked like a very nice place to eat, though we opted for the inside (due to the fact one in our party preferred indoors), which was a little nondescript in comparison. Service was attentive.

Akhil our server was amazing! Very friendly and professional. I came together with my 5 girls after our work and we had an amazing time. Food was delicious, flavorful, rich. Presentation of food was amazing as well. We felt bad asking our server to split food charges because each of us had drinks too but he did not mind and we were all very happy! Akhil, thank you again!

Food was good. Service was pretty bad. We had to get up & find a waiter when we were ready to order, ask how much longer til food is ready (1 hour) and then again when ready for the bill. They also took our appetizers to the wrong table, didn’t notice (didnt care to check) and those customers kindly brought it to us after looking around the restaurant to see who it belonged to.

The food was delicious - our vegetarian loved the presentation and flavors of her dishes. Our meat eater was equally pleased. Surprised at the rice- in the US, it’s included in the price. And a larger serving . Staff was attentive, professional. The outdoor seating was gorgeous with overflowing flower baskets
