The Red Fort (Soho)

• Perhaps the best fish dish I've ever eaten was at the The Red Fort in Soho
• Full of flavour and with just a tad of spiciness
• I've yet to encounter anything on a par with it anywhere else
• In fact there is a great tradition in Britain of innovation in Indian cuisine and owner Amin Ali and his head chef Azadur Rahman are definitely a part of that
• The brasserie food is very reasonably priced for the West End but the best dishes on the al la carte menu are not cheap
• The decor is contemporary but with a bit of Mughal palace fretwork around the walls and the staff are attentive and accommodating
• I was very impressed about how they have moved on with time and have excellent vegetarian option which my partner enjoyed thoroughly especially the veg kebab and veg Kofta
• I have given up on local restaurants due to lack of service and same menus everywhere but this was definitely worth coming as it has a fab authentic taste
• I doubt tandoori salmon to be a common staple in India but it was delicious indeed
• The salmon was rubbed with ginger and garlic while the scallops had a fresh mint and curry sauce
• I was very sad that lobster was not available on the day of our visit
• Yet the one at the Red Fort was skillfully executed
• A whole lamb shank was served to us in a clay pot
• Simmered in a delicious curry with the tender meat falling of the bone
• The true star of the meal for me was somehow surprisingly the vegetarian dish we ordered as a side
• I personally believe it is worth every penny
• The Red Fort is one of the best high end Indian restaurants in London
• After a few cheeky Guinnei (plural of Guinness) our appetites were well and truly whetted
• The interior didn't disappoint with clean straight lines of tables and square picture frames juxtaposed sharply against the soft rouge up lighting and glistening in panel waterfalls
• The atmosphere was lively and cosmopolitan
• The setting was appropriately smart
• We started with poppadoms that came engrained with cumin seeds and with an array of sides including an unusual papaya dip
• We followed these with Pocha Hera Jhinga marinated spiced king prawns in a light crispy batter with coriander and curry leaves
• The second starter we chose was the Murgh Gilaafi
• Whilst minced chicken isn't usually on our radar these were particularly good
• Was not up to the hype and left us with more rice than China
• What lamb there was was tender
• The Nalli Roganjosh was thankfully much more impressive
• In fact you hardly noticed they were there a plus on one side
• 25 of which was spent on the cheapest bottle of the wine we could get away with on the menu
• I dabble in customer satisfaction market research) the price tag was mighty high
• I think these two bloggers got out of their depth North of The River best stick to Tooting next time where our stomachs and wallets will be left a little fuller
• I think that was the best decision we made
• ) Zenna bar was really impressive and i really enjoyed the Fig Martini
• As i am vegetarian that is first thing that stands out to my eyes
• Over all good food but it is not the local next door Indian takeaway or restaurant
• Three course with a big selection of dishes coming on the table
• We were completely thrilled that entire menu items were brought on the table
• The pick of the veggie plates was the aubergine curry plate
• Intense curry flavour with perfectly cooked aubergine
• The soft shell crab was a delight and an absolute faultless dish
• Wine list is great and the beautiful Malbec 2012 was a lovely partner to the various dishes we chose
• I recommend The Red Fort for a proper good fine dining curry meal with great service
• I'm sure by now that you guys are getting to grips with the types of food posts I usually post *cough* burgers *cough*
• As well as the fact that The Red Fort (Soho) is celebrating it's 30th anniversary to say that I was excited to try The Red Fort (Soho)
• Considering this restaurant is located in the heart of Soho
• I was expecting a busy vibe but it was completely empty
• This could merely be because it was nearing the end of their lunch service
• Period the staff were very attentive
• Led me to believe that they regularly update their menus so there are no confusions I was impressed by this
• Anaari Champ Grilled Scottish lamb chops topped with star anise &
• In fact they were more than enough for the two of us to split
• Were completely smothered in cheese with just the right amount of chili for a kick
• The chicken in the curry was absolutely amazing
• The only thing that confused me was the consistency of the sauce
• The saffron rice was more than enough to share between two
• The saffron was strong but not overpowering
• Literally just how I love my naan bread I liked that they were small sizes as too much bread is a dangerous game
• I don't think it was the best Indian I've ever had
• The price of the dishes are a little higher than your average
• Let me start with saying that The Red Fort is undoubtably one of the best Indian fine dining restaurants in London
• The ambience is incredible and the food is even better
• We also ordered a nice medium bodied French to go with the white meat
• The Prawns were to DIE for exceptional mustard based fragrant curry
• Dal was great and so were the breads
• The Red Fort is a perfect example of a fine Indian dining establishment
• The food and ambience is absolutely great
• When we first arrived we were welcomed with a aromatic smell of fine Indian food that tickled our nostrils
• Our booking was for 7PM and when we arrived the restaurant was a bit empty
• The portion sizes were very very generous (although it is not exactly a cheap restaurant) and the presentation of food was also great
• The cocktail was absolutely perfect
• We loved every dish and soon we were full and very content
• The only reason this restaurant has received a 4.5 star instead of 5 from me is because when I asked for a highchair for my child they said they didn't have any
• Everything else you are doing is perfect
• On Dean Street in Soho is The Red Fort
• The broccoli florets were perfectly roasted
• The flavours of the spiced paste worked well with the broccoli
• The Khumb Tandoori mushrooms were also perfectly cooked and the texture was wonderful
• The Tandoori Phool was definitely our favourite
• The consistency of the lentils was perfect &ndash
• Grilled stone bass fillet with a spiced coconut milk sauce
• The fact that it all disappeared within minutes is evidence that everything was delicious
• A visit to The Red Fort is worth it if you want to treat yourself
• It is for this reason I was so intrigued to try out Red Fort
• Seems to have great reviews with a wide menu and right in the heart of London
• We went on a Friday night when it was busy but not intrusively so and had quite a buzzing atmosphere
• The tables are quite close together and the place is popular what else would you expect in Soho
• Knowing how large portions often are at such places
• Were absolutely delicious the king prawns lived up to their king status and the batter was perfectly done with a lovely blend of spices
• They were served with a delicious selection of side sauces including a really unusual banana chutney
• The Lucknow chicken was very tender and melt in the mouth but I must admit that I found the flavours really quite bland
• Particularly with Indian food and this is where I felt it was lacking
• The lamb biryani was cooked perfectly they certainly know how to cook meat well and the texture of this with the rice was faultless but yet again
• The aubergine dish was nice enough and had more richness in its spices
• I didn't actually order raita but it came seemed to have pieces of apple and this was one of the most refreshing raitas I've tried anywhere
• The choices of bread in the naan basket were varied and moreish I'm fussy about naans and these certainly passed my naan test
• I am always happy to pay prices like this for food that is above and beyond expectations
• The food was certainly not bad and many elements of it were appealing such as the prawns
• As I think there are better places in London
• Not a bad meal by any means and an extensive menu with friendly staff but probably not somewhere that I would return given the over inflated prices
• The Red Fort is a restaurant on Dean Street that I&rsquo
• This attention to detail was definitely reflected in the starters we ordered
• Due to my obsession with chaats I tried the Bhalla Sev Puri
• My dining companion tried the Hara Kebab which was composed of spinach patties lightly filled with cheddar
• I tried the Methi Paneer which was made with home made cottage cheese and dried fenugreek leaf in a creamed tomato sauce
• The flavours were also very traditional and made good use of the aromas that come from coriander and cumin
• They had also taken the chutneys away that come with the starters so we couldn&rsquo
• It arrived as a good sized pie filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with strawberry pieces and crushed nut
• The Red Fort is well priced for the high quality of food they serve
• As vegetarian main courses are between £
• The cheapest option is the Salmon Tikka at £
• In addition there is only one option for accompaniments
• The starters were really well flavoured but the main course didn&rsquo
• In addition some of the main dishes were a bit widely priced
• The Red Fort stands out from this crowd as it is an established restaurant serving traditional and authentic Indian flavours
• I would say it is one of the best restaurants in the Soho vicinity
• When we went it was quite empty inside
