Koyal Indian Restaurant & Bar - (Near , South East)

5 /5 Paul H: We had a fantastic evening at Koyal. The restaurant offers a different touch of sophisticated Indian dining experience but still at very reasonable prices. I highly recommend trying out one of their special cocktails. The Kid Goat Methi Keema starter was the absolute standout—tender, perfectly spiced, and full of depth, the Muntjac Dum Biryani was to die for. Because the chefs come from a Michelin-star background (Gymkhana), the flavors are incredibly refined and layered. It’s a joy to have this level of regional, Himalayan-inspired gastronomy right here in Surbiton. You get Mayfair-quality food without the need to trek into Central London. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore "proper" Indian cooking!

5 /5 Alok Singh: The food was just amazing. We ordered 4 2course menu and some food off kids menu. We were 2 families with 5 kids in total. I am telling you, havent seen such kind young and well mannered servers yet. They were patient and super responsible. That in itself is material for 5 stars and then the food was great too. The quantity was right, so was the taste. The drinks were very well made and everything was very reasonably priced. Overall a great place to enjoy a mean with friends or family.

5 /5 Baljeet: The quick summary is that I can highly recommend this Indian restaurant and it is definitely worth a visit. My friends and I (all Indian)visited Koyal after a recommendation from a friend who enjoys his food. We went on a Tuesday evening and even then it was still fairly busy. The pickle and sauces we had with our poppadums were great and our starters consisting of lamb chops, kebabs and Murg Malai Tikka chicken was quite delicious. For the mains you have to order their Muntjac Dum Biryani (deer meat), and that tasted wonderful. Their Khatte Meethe Baingan (aubergine) is also recommended and everything was also cooked and spiced just right with a good level of heat. We had some other dishes too, all of which were great. For me, their lamb chops (ordered per individual chop) and the biryani were favourites, but I can’t fault any of their food. I also understand the chef may be a part owner of the business, in which case there’s even more of a vested interest from the kitchen to make sure the food stands out - which it does! Drinks wise, I had their IPA which is surprisingly good. I say that as someone who doesn’t usually have IPAs. I would happily come back to this place again and wholeheartedly recommend it.

5 /5 Felicity: We loved everything about this meal . The decor is bright and colourful . The staff so friendly and attentive.The spicy chilli mango mojito was a lip warming delight . The stone bass starter was incredible , the chicken tikka was moist. My lamb shank and garlic potatoes were the best thing I have had in a long time. We have found our new local and will be going back many times
