Chutney Mary

Overrated - definitely a case of surroundings and past reputation (it was good 10 years ago) over quality food. Just didn't have the obvious flavour of a freshly made dish - you can almost imagine a tupperware with ready made sauce on the other side of the kitchen door. This is proabably one of the worst indian meals I've had.

I been to going to chutney Mary for long time and I love the food they do there, specially the fantastic twist on the samosa... This is baked and presented beautifully, and is in a very thin pastry, which is awesome to eat. Although they don't have a Michelin star but they still produce food of Michelin standard. Fail to under sated why they don't have it... Kudos to chef...

This is by far the best authentic Indian food I've had in London! Situated in Chlesea this beautiful restaurant offers a wide variety of gastronomic wonders ranging from authentic curry's, biryanis and grills to modern innovative dishes which u usually wont see in other Indian restaurants such as black pepper roast duck , served pink, well seasoned, and served with a sweet potato crumble. Very good. I had the lamb chops - slightly charred on the outside and tender like butter on the inside. Amazing texture and taste.

Chutney Mary's has been around for quite some time, and is a bit of an institution. But, I would have to say, rightly so. The food is amazing, very inovative, all freshly prepared and seasoned to perfection. It is not a curry house, or destroying all flavour with an overdose of spices, Chutney Mary offers food with a perfect balance between authentic Indian cooking and modern inventive cuisine. They also have amazinf wine list that goes really well with Indian food. ) Atmosphere and service. Set in Chelsea this place is a bit out of the way, but is a really nice space, tastefully decorated and premium in every way. It feels very upscale. The Conservatory has a really nice ambience. And the service is up there with London's best restaurants.

Dined here on last wednesday, the food was exquisite and the restaurant was packed, been eating at this here for few hers now and I think this is the best indian meal I have eaten. The food is full of flavours and is light and not heavy. It's a good mix of traditional Indian with modern cooking. The lamb kebab, modern twist on samosa and the Indian version of roast lamb were just perfect, the desserts were equally good, lot of Indian restaurants fail in that area but chutney Mary hits the spot. Surprising they don't have Michelin, but other Indian restaurants have, who serve food which is tasteless.

I tried booking a table for the first time in this restaurant to take my wife and my 2 year 11 months old daughter out for dinner. But to my shock and in spite of advertising that they allow under 10s till 8 pm, I was told that they do not allow kids under 3 at all. After I told them that there is no mention of such a rule on their website, they generously agreed to book a table for me at 6.30pm the latest so that I leave before the peak dinner hours. I do not think I am ever going to that restaurant again.

The offer states for every couple at your table, then states only 1 offer per table. Please could you clarify? Thanks.

It has been the worst dinning experience ever. I went there following my wife suggestion because she read in a nmagazine a good review of the restaurant. The flavors of every dish were completeley overpowered by the excesively spicy ingredients. There was no chance at all to ask for a dish with non spicy taste. I am not a spicy food lover but my wife is, so at leqst they should have one or two options for people like ,e but they didn't. The manager was so defensive, he was never able to open his mind a bit qnd understand my point as a customer. Besides it is completely overpriced, the wine list is incredibly overprice as well and with no option for a nice white wine bargain. Nowadays it results in a tacky detail to sell only expensive and overpriced wine. All these resulted in a check of 160 pounds. So if you want to have nightmares during the night and pay that much money for some rice and bread, go there.
