Brigadiers - (Near City of London, South East)

5 /5 Y.: Amazing Indian food packed with flavours! Love that they use fresh curry leaves in the soft crab dish, which also came with a small spicy aromatic dip. The beef marrow biryani was the best biryani I have ever had! Everything on the menu looked delicious! Service was excellent, waiters were kind, attentive and friendly! London has many good Indian options, this is def one of my top choices for the category of food..

5 /5 Nico: What a place! The atmosphere in the restaurant is very lively but at the same time extremely cosy thanks to the dim lighting and the comfortable red padded seats that make you feel like you’re sitting in a 1900s luxury train coach. The staff is super friendly and always around to help, service is fast and precise. And the food was just amazing: the quality and the cooking of meats like chicken is impeccable and the flavours in each dish are very well balanced but at the same time intense and leaving a long lasting impression in your taste buds. Finally also the price is extremely competitive- in our days in London we have spent comparatively much more money in places that deserved way less than Brigadiers. Super recommended!

4 /5 Jules D.: The place is great and can be very busy. Staff are excellent. The food was very good. The fish, sea bream, was nearly perfect but the sauce around it, not sure you call it sauce, had a little bit more salt than needed. The juice could have had less ice. 1-2 ice cubes are fine not 5+.

3 /5 Evan Dungan: While the food here was outstanding (and I mean outstanding), the service was appalling. We had a party of four celebrating my birthday with dinner reservations at 6:30 pm. We arrived 5 minutes prior to our reservation and were not greeted by name (as they said they would if I uploaded a photo of myself). Not a big deal, but dont say youre going to do that and then not do it. We were told our table wasnt quite ready yet. Again, not a big deal. We were asked if we wanted to grab a drink at the bar while waiting, which we all agreed to do. So after approximately 15 minutes of having a beer we asked one of the bar tenders if they could check on our table. He returned at the same time we were hailed for our table. After ordering a large, multi-course offering with several starters, we were thoroughly enjoying the meal. The server, however, was extremely quiet and difficult to hear throughout our meal. She came to our table after the last main courses were delivered but before dessert to inform us that we had 15 minutes until we had to vacate the table as we had only 2 hours for the table. This is the most appalling thing a restaurant could do to us given that there were open tables at the time, they were the main cause we were seated nearly 20 minutes late and they were the sole reason we had several periods where we were waiting for our next course of food. Not to mention we were there celebrating my birthday. If the food hadnt been so incredible, this review wouldve been 1 star. Be wary of the very slow, unprofessional service here.

5 /5 Alex Roebuck: We had such a great evening at Brigadiers. From the moment we sat down, the team were brilliant. Really attentive, always checking in at the right time, and genuinely warm without it ever feeling over the top. The food was incredible. Every dish was full of flavour and beautifully cooked. Easily some of the best Indian food I have had in London. You can tell a lot of care goes into the menu. The wine was also spot on and paired really well with everything we ordered. What made it even more fun was the atmosphere. The live trumpet performances throughout the night completely lifted the room and gave it this buzzing energy that made the whole experience feel special. Amazing food, great service, and a lively, memorable setting. We will definitely be back.
