Amaya (Knightsbridge)

• The restaurant is worth a visit first due to its nice atmosphere and concept of Indian 'tapas' and structure of the menu
• ) And the restaurant is dedicated to good taste more than merely the traditional 'Indian spicy and that's all'
• The naan with the chutneys is a must try to start with
• The goat cheese salad 'a la India' is really good as well
• The kebabs are really delicious
• The foie gras is not that spectacular
• Lovers of foie gras are better off in a French restaurant
• We had gone for a private dinner and were served off a set menu
• Each serving was served as if an artist was presenting his art the colour
• Whether it is for personal or professional celebration
• We been to Amaya last weekend and their Cocktails were interesting and terrific
• Every dish was delicious and the seafood platter was outstanding as was the beef and the dal and the curries as well
• I liked my dal with double tadka
• The service was less successful
• Getting someone's attention was not always easy
• Amaya is to Indian restaurants what Taj Mahal is to natural wonders
• There is nothing wrong with the restaurant
• The menu is filled with interesting combinations
• The waitress was very helpful and had some excellent suggestions
• Recently ranked the 7th best eatery in the UK and the 76th best in the entire world
• I went along with a friend (we will call her Dee) and Halal Gems to experience my first every taste of Michelin Stared food
• The first thing I found when looking into making a reservation for 3 on a Tuesday evening was that I couldn&rsquo
• Amaya is located in Chelsea and is tucked away within an Arcade off the back streets of Belgravia
• Many of the dishes are Indian Tapas and designed to share with everyone and brought out once each meal is ready
• What I am going to do is remove the price and environment factor out of the equation and just talk about the food
• The first to arrive was the Minced chicken lettuce parcels with treads of apple garnish and the Avocado Salad
• Now here was I was expecting with my first bite of "
• What I got was a more somewhat underwhelming mouthful of interesting texture of minced chicken wrapped in lettuce
• The chicken was well cooked
• I was surprised that it wasn't accompanied with some sauce on the side
• Any type of Allo Chaat is a personal favourite of mine
• The Sea Bass was completely forgetful
• The Grilled Peppers were stuffed with cheese
• This cute dish was memorable for its unique look of small peppers and taste of its rich cheese
• Following this was what I was looking forward to
• Also served in this around was the Spinach &
• I don't think being coated in nuts helped with enhancing the taste
• Fig Takki which is featured in both set menus was one of the best things I remember eating on the night
• Just when we thought the rounds of food were over we were hit with the Biryani's
• At this point we were all feeling a tad on the full side
• I like Biryani with moisture and found this too dry
• I found really simple and basic with its lack of complex usage of ingredients and spices
• The Biryani was served with Raita
• Once we allowed enough time to pass it was desert time
• I'm going to just call it jelly with a mint on top
• Taking into account all of the about overall the food was overpriced and average
• The presentation of the dishes were good but not amazing
• T explain about is leaving hungry
• When we thought we came to the end we were hit with another dish
• When dishes were served weren't informed to which menu they belonged which caused some confusion between sharing amounts between us
• A Michelin stared establishment I was expecting more from the food
• I was hoping for a memorable culinary experience with outstanding cuisine
• What I got was a feeling of being cheated as I felt the dining experience unfulfilling and falling short of my expectations
• The Chicken and Lamb are verbally confirmed as being Halal
• In fact the decor is just perfect
• The first thing that hits you is the amount of natural light filling the space
• Reflecting this there are two main spaces
• The centre of the restaurant has a lighter feel to it as there are lots of chic mirrors bouncing of the aqua greens and sky blues
• The later section is more oriental and composed of dark reds
• An nice addition is the fact that the food is prepared right in front of the diners
• What astounded me about Amaya was that unlike many of the Indian restaurants I&rsquo
• Yet despite this the choice and portions of spices used on the food was enough to hark back to authentic Indian dishes
• I would say that it is quite an achievement to transform the presentation and manner of cooking traditional Indian dishes but still maintain the essential balance of spices that makes it taste so good
• The platter was definitely worth the price due to the variety of main courses dishes provided as well as a decently sized salad to start and dessert to finish
• On the whole the entire platter was totally worth the cost and I would have gladly paid more for it
• Decor and cost was all totally worth it
• I found the staff really very friendly and easy to get along with which added to the experience
• Actually one of the best indian taste
• The food is deliciously Indian with veggies and fruit according to season
• There are many dishes on the menu and looking around I saw that all of them were presented in a great way
• The char grilled (jumbo) Madagascan prawn is a typical dish that even the server will suggest you
• Service so friendly and interior of the place is just great
• The cuisine is a little different from usual Indian restaurants and seems a little more healthy
• What first struck me was Amaya's simple yet elegant decor
• The rest of the food was distinctly average and lacked both flavour and spice
• Amaya is a nice restaurant with very good service
• So I don't think it was worth the price
• The kitchen is open to public view and one can make out at how the kitchen staff work on preparation of the meals
• Both epitomise the fusion style of the restaurant and are fine examples of how well the combination works
• As one would expect in a restaurant with such prices
• Is very good and staff are highly knowledgeable and attentive
• This restaurant is so good for a family or even a date it's like 5 stars restaurant
• Dinner is the best choice to have there
• I tried 5 stages and it was a wonderful order
• I booked this restaurant for my 7th anniversary expecting it to be amazing with its fantastic reviews and menu
• This restaurant topped it with evetything
• Very busy and the food was not like the normal indian down your local
• We loved it got a cake out of it with our names on it
• This is our first Michelin dining with Indian flavour
• At the far end of the restaurant is the open kitchen consisting of grilling station (char coal for their signature grill dishes)
• Their website is extremely hard to navigate
• Advance table reservation id say is must unless u don't mind spending leisure time at bar area
• The drinks lists are quite good as well
• Now the part the live kitchen visible from almost all tables u take is quite a watch
• The presentation of food is top rated &
• The cottage cheese staters really impressed me with the way it was marinated wit spices
• The main course was equally delicious
• Later I came to know Amaya is owned by Veeraswamy chain &
• The smell of the food was intense and exciting
• Ac (we seem to dine together a lot) has a few dietary requirements that they were happy to abide by and they even have an allergy list so you know what you can order
• It was by far the best broccoli dish I've ever tasted in an establishment
• It comes with this strange sweet yogurt that is just incredibly delicious
• Their cocktail list is extensive and unique
• I went here recently for dinner and oh my god it was the best meal I've ever had
• From the interior to the staff and not forgetting the food which is incredible
• We shared a spicy curry for main with nann bread which was so tasty
• We then got a trio of desserts which was so nicely presented and so good
• We had monkfish tikka which was one of the best I ever had
• Everything on that dish was really tasty
• Amaya (Knightsbridge) has the best starters in town
• Ambience of the whole place is also amazing
• We had the Gourmet tasting menu with matching wines which was heaven
• The good thing about Amaya (Knightsbridge) is that the dishes are all sharing
• The prawn tandoori and crab is really amazing in addition to the chicken based dishes
• Located in a quiet arcade off Motocomb street in Knightsbridge sits one of London's three Indian restaurants awarded with a Michelin star
• The reservation desk told me that they are fully booked and people already payed deposit for the tables
• The funny thing is that we stayed there for 15 min and no one came
• The chairs in the raised section of the restaurant are too low or the tables are too high
• The kitchen is in the back and open with all the tandoori pits
• The pepper chicken was awesome and the lamb chops were amazing
• All these downed with a nice bottle of Chablis
• The second time the group was large and it was not possible to order the grilled food
• It was the best I've ever had
• I also tried the paneer tandoori tikka which was served with two different but very tasty chutneys
• The ambience was spot on specially the cutlery
• I would say a pricey Indian place with a totally different concept
• The intro by the waiter was to order 6 to seven dishes and so we did and were not disappointed
• The biryani was the best of the lot as well the chutneys were probably the best I had in a restaurant
• The only let down was the service was not that great
• Amaya is an Indian restaurant but with a modern twist
• I loved the food so much and the menu is organized in an interesting way
• Gd food racist staff with an attitude
• Everything was cooked fresh &
• This would have been my weekly hangout if I was living in UK
• An Indian Restaurant with a contemporary twist
• I went to Amaya for Lunch and opted for the fixed course menu that was beautifully curated to bring out the best dishes
• The ambiance is perfect for a lunch date
• I particularly love place with so much natural light
• The service is exceptional and the made our experience even better
• My favourites were the pepper chicken
• This Indian restaurant is just exceptional
• One of the best in my opinion around the world
• It is hard to believe that Amaya is a Michelin starred restaurant
• My wife and I were in London for business and were hosting another couple for dinner
• Tel that I was allergic to nuts
• Fish and seafood so would like for him to make sure there were none of these ingredients in the food I ordered
• Tel and told him we were not paying for a full bottle of wine which we did not drink
• This restaurant is clueless with regards to customer service
• On top of that the wait staff was incompetent and spilt my martini on me when they brought it to our table
• I can't comprehend why this restaurant is rated so highly because the service is absolutely the worst ever
• Serves Indian food with contemporary twist
• I've been to their other restaurants like Veeraswamy at Regent Street and the ambiance is the best thing about them
• Despite being excellent are hardly an Indian meal
• I would come here with people who enjoy non vegetarian food
• Great customer service but food is horrible I&rsquo
• T know what it was but it wasn&rsquo
• The decor is sleek and modern with high appeal factor
• Wow simply delicious and probably the best Indian food I&rsquo
