The service is good they certainly try hard! The food we had was certainly very good, modern dishes well executed. My only criticism is it's a touch pricey and the menu a bit limited. London prices though I suppose, but certainly worth a visit to try the food.

Fabulous food, friendly staff, efficient, tasteful decor. I really liked the small menu and the choices on it. First visited soon after they opened, and then again when I was next in London 18 months later - and I was remembered by the staff - maybe from our cricket discussions! It is really a top place where I would always... More

Roots offers classic Indian cuisine with a contemporary twist, upgrading great standards with just a few tweaks to make them stand out as truly special. We had a carrot and ground coriander amuse bouche which set the tastebuds tingling, and then onto some truly spectacular dishes with the lamb shank rogan josh a thing of wonder. The service is second... More

We turned up without a booking and the manager seemed quite apologetic in offering us the table by the door, which to be honest was no problem and we didn't feel excluded,... More

The restaurant is set in an old pub in a quiet residential street. The atmosphere is really inviting. The short menu is full of really interesting looking dishes, and the quality of the food really is fantastic. We had scallops cooked in three different ways, and to follow had Kent Lamb chops with the most delicate and subtle spices. The... More

A fantastic restaurant which ticks all the boxes for me. All the food not only looks very impressive and picturesque but tastes just as good. The food and service where sublime and as a frequent diner of Indian food, this has to be my best experience to date.
