PURE Indian cooking prides itself in being a family run restaurant and one with impeccable credentials.

Since then, with Faheem managing front of house and Shilpa, who has worked with such masterchefs as the legendary Raymond Blanc OBE and Sriram Aylur of the Michelin starred Quilon, heading the kitchen, the restaurant has amassed a strong following as a refined as an exceedingly good local restaurant, with many clientele calling it a London “West End restaurant in Fulham!”
We would be delighted to see you at PURE Indian Cooking so please come and share in our warmth, fabulous food and drink and wonderful hospitality.

    Nice surprise. The revisited samosa filled with goats cheese and sundried tomato and beetroot dip seems to be a signature dish for PIC. Well done.

    We have been enjoying Pure Indian Cooking for several years now, and it continues to exceed our expectations with each visit! During our most recent visit, we had the pleasure of introducing some friends visiting from Australia to this gem, and they were blown away by the exceptional quality of the food. Every dish we ordered was delicious. This has the be the best Indian restaurant in London!

    An outstanding restaurant serving food full of flavour and delicate use of spice. Dishes could have been a bit hotter for my personal taste, but I asked for fresh chilli on side (perfect). Staff were welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be back.

    We had a great time at Pure Indian Cooking. The service was slow in the beginning but then it became better. The food was excellent. Thank you Laurence and Swapnil who looked after us well. One thing which we didn't find was the warmth. When you enter a restaurant, one wants to be greeted warmly.

    First visit to this restaurant & really enjoyed the experience. The service was excellent, attentive without being overbearing. They took time to describe the dishes & make recommendations after asking about our preferences.The food was delicious, subtly spiced & carefully made.It was quite busy for a Monday night but not surprising in view of the quality of the food and the fair prices. Would definitely recommend trying.

    I cannot tell what is 'authentic' Indian cooking but there were no Kormas and Vindaloos. What we had was delicious and different to the usual take away food. We were recommended the restaurant's signature starter and were almost fighting over it. Both my teenage son and daughter enjoyed everything we ordered. My wife and I also had the cocktails to start - classic cocktails with a hint of something different and very good. Overall, very happy.
