Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking to share a variety of dishes before the show

What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable consistently praise the flavourful food, especially the smoked Malabar prawns, tandoori broccoli, and lamb chops. The service is attentive but not intrusive, and the ambience is described as both relaxed and refined. Guests also love the option to try multiple dishes with the sharing-style format, which fits well with the social vibe of a concert evening.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the portions can be on the smaller side, especially given the price, so it’s worth ordering a few dishes to share. Others note that while the décor is stylish, the downstairs location means no natural light, which some might find a bit dim during daytime meals.

The Bottom Line

Kahani is a standout choice for concert-goers craving bold Indian flavours, modern style, and a relaxed yet elegant meal just minutes from London’s top music venues.
