Vijay B Sambasivam Veeraswamy is an unforgettable dining experience in London. Located on Regent Street, the restaurant has incredible history, beautiful ambiance, and a very upscale feel, all while staying warm and welcoming. I booked this place with a friend for my birthday dinner, and to my surprise they made it extra special by bringing out a birthday card along with a small cake. Such a thoughtful touch. The food was outstanding. Loved the tikka and beetroot tikka appetizers, and honestly every dish we tried was excellent. The drink selection was great as well and paired perfectly with the meal. Yes, it’s expensive, but absolutely worth it for the food, the experience, and the heritage that comes with it. Nearly 100 years of history is no small thing for a restaurant, and you really feel that legacy when you dine here. A must-visit for anyone looking for refined Indian cuisine with history and character.

Mark Monaghan Some dishes were very nice (mainly the bread and leek starters). However, some others, mainly the Denver steak main, were quite disappointing, especially when considering this costs just shy of £50. The dish took about an hour to arrive and was cold when it did (I assume it had been left out and perhaps a waiter had forgotten to take it to us). The waiter did offer to reheat it but this left it quite chewy. Overall it was not enjoyable and certainly did not meet the standard expected for the price. The service was also very slow throughout the remainder of the night and after ordering a single rice pudding dessert to share, this also took an additional 30 minutes to arrive. We spent another 15 minutes waiting for the waiter to bring the card machine after receiving the bill meaning in total we spent about 3 hours in the restaurant which was much longer than we had intended. I appreciate it was New Year’s Eve and so perhaps it was busier than the staff were used to, but again, this falls short of the standard one would expect for a restaurant where we paid around £90 per person on food alone. The atmosphere was pleasant but given the above I would not return nor could I in good conscience recommend it to a friend.

Maddy Shine We visited champagne+fromage for a Valentine’s afternoon date. Despite having no reservation they found us a lovely spot. The service was impeccable - special shoutout to Natasha, Lucas and Remy. The cheese and fizz were delicious and beautifully presented. We would definitely recommend and indeed, already have!

Sean Friendly and very busy but the staff were great ensuring that dietary needs are adhered to we had a very nice time and the food was top notch and well presented.

Lileez Loved the food! Very tasty and it was my first time to eat Nigerian cuisine. I had bitter leaf soup…excellently done! I will be back for more. Thanks for the hospitality as well.

Pizzatastic (Pizzatastic) Attended the Makcaris in the bandstand today for a late lunch as recently moved back to the area. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I didn’t know much about the place but when they gave us our food we were speechless (in a good way) at the quality and presentation of the food. And it taste as good as it looked! The pricing for a coffee, Coke Zero, club sandwich and French toast was just under £30 which is quite steep - but for a treat and the quality it was I think the pricing is fair. The staff were also lovely and polite, will definitely be revisiting.
