Delicious Indian dishes with great options for vegetarians! The paneer sauces were delicious and the garlic naam too! Same the masalas. The mocktails with mango are also tasty. Great service and atmosphere. They are very busy so i will recommend to book in advance. The inly reason for not giving 5 stars is that the portions are small for the price

Absolutely adorable place! Great menu! The beef and chicken are halal! They will also accommodate you with your requests. The service was fab and Iβd definitely be visiting again. I had no idea this gem existed so close to me!

A hidden gem in London. Definitely worth a visit! One of the best, or maybe even the best Indian food in London. Reasonably priced, good portion, and always ask the waiter for recommendation. I recommend trying this place during lunch time instead as there's lesser crowd.

Excellent, quality, tasty, spicy, feels exclusive. A great selection of quality vegetarian and non vegetarian Indian cuisine. We arrived at 6pm and the staff wer excellent looking after us and providing us with a lovely meal. The menu stated five courses for Β£47 we felt like we had about ten courses by the time we had finished. Will definitely be back. The atmosphere was great, the staff attentive and the food was tasty and well presented. The food was brought to our table very quickly too. They also do some great mocktails for those not drinking alcohol. We had the mellow yellow passion fruit and the watermelon mocktail. So if you are in South Kensington and want a relaxed, quality, Indian dining experience Flora Indica comes highly recommended.

Overall we were very disappointed in the restaurant. As others have pointed out, the food was very good but the service was terrible. Even though we had a reservation, when we got there they had to ask another couple to move to make room for 4. From that point it took 28 minutes to get out drinks. Getting water was even harder... Everything was extremely slow. Our server also had no knowledge of the menu and was unable to describe the food. It was really a shame since the atmosphere is great and the service was so unwelcoming.

If you are looking for a place with passion for Indian food then this is the right place for you! The employees are caring and make sure you are always feeling comfortable. They are quick on cleaning between your dishes, so you always have a clean table if you look for spending more time there.This resturant does great works when it comes to putting the flavors of the ingredients together in their final product. The food taste excellent and they did the exact same with theirs drinks and tea's! This is one of my better culinary experiences! π

I know tapas are huge now (well not literally since they're still small... but figuratively) so when I was craving Indian food and noticed this was a tapas restaurant I was a little apprehensive but I went for it anyway. The place itself has a great vibe, awesome for large groups (if you book in advance) or for yourself. Good for that first date 'I'm getting to know you' awkward list of questions you've asked or been asked; heads up as you start to plan your questions save any deep questions for the bar afterwards since there isn't much room between you and the next set of strangers *pro tip*.I ordered the roti, 12 hr slow braised short rib, salmon, artichoke chaat, slow braised lamb shoulder, and of course naan.Must have: HOLY SH** the properly named Jerusalem Artichoke Papdi Chaat is something special. It was like a spiritual experience but in my mouth (that sounds much worse than I intended). It covers smell, taste, texture so perfectly in a combination I would have never expected.The quiet champion here was the lamb shoulder. I got this meal as a hail Mary (not another Jerusalem reference) since I challenged the waiter to give me something that could open my sinuses and fill me with regret in about an hour (you know what I mean). What he brought me was tender, moist (I know most people hate how that word sounds but eh) and flavorful savory dish I had all night (it had a slight kick, not the sinus clearing I requested but it was close)Must skip: My only criticism is about the 12 hrs slow braised short rib. Now I believe in a slow braise and when you see 12 hours you know this was made with love and there's one thing you absolutely expect, which is the ability to use a spoon to break the meat apart. Unfortunately the meat itself was a little dry so it made it difficult to enjoy the flavors it was topped with. I really do think this dish COULD work but there has to be a better system in place to maintain the moisture in the meat.My last note before I complete this rant is dedicated to the wait staff. Never underestimate the power a great waitstaff can have on your dining experience. The servers were extremely attentive and seemed to be invested in the restaurant completely. They provided myself and my cousin with a more than welcoming experience and for that I'm eternally grateful.If you made it to the end of this my first question is why and second just do yourself a favor and book a reservation (or walk in like I did and hope for the best)Ig: hughlike

High end Indian restaurant, serving very elaborate food. The atmosphere is great, and a lot of attention has been put in decorating the place. Nice and friendly service. The food was great, we started with "tapas" style dishes to share which were great, followed by great main courses. Excellent coktails choices, I particularly liked how gin orders are served. They have a home-brewed beer that is very good. Highly recommended!
