Very unique dishes were served and the presentation is top notch. The servers were all very friendly and the drink recommendations they made were on par. I really enjoyed the drinks. I prefer to have some spice with my food so this was an okay place for me. I had the non-vegetarian tasting menu. I enjoyed the appetizers on the menu. Great place to celebrate a milestone!

Great variety and unique flavors
Amazing food and service. I'm the type of person who typically orders Chicken Tikka Masala every single time I get Indian food but I was so impressed by the range and variety and complexity of flavors here. Really interesting interpretations of Indian food, beautiful presentations. Service is fun and friendly while also being helpful and professional. Cocktails are especially innovative and interesting while still being delicious. Would go back any day

What a fantastic experience.
Great Indian food served in style.
Preserving all of the authentic flavors while blending it with excellent presentation and brilliant wine pairing makes it worthy of its Michelín rating .
Deserves multiple visits

One of the few Michelin star restaurants I've gone back to within a year of going the first time. The food is incredible, but what really stands out is the service. This staff is just above and beyond in terms of how warmly they engage with you while also providing elite execution. I will continue to tell all my friends to go here if they haven't been yet -- it makes a special occasion feel that much more special.

We tried vegetarian tasting menu, and honestly, it felt like such a fun little adventure through flavors I’ve never had together before. Every dish looked like a piece of art, but still felt comforting to eat. The dhokla aero was light and herby, the pani puri had this bright burst of green mango and tamarind, and the mushroom éclair, I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did, but that goat cheese and truffle combo was incredible.
The yogurt chaat was probably my favorite of the night, tangy tamarind, fresh mint, sweet potato. it was just so balanced and refreshing. The avocado kebab had a nice little kick, and the butternut manti was pure comfort food in fancy clothes, creamy, rich, and just the right amount of truffle. The paneer katli, vegetable kadai, garlic naan, and especially that chili cheese kulcha were so satisfying, I’d go back just for those breads.
Dessert was playful and light. The strawberry cream with rhubarb, rose, and ghewar was delicate and floral, and the little guava jelly and tamarind ganache bites at the end were such a fun way to finish. We also ordered the free spirit mango and tamarind drinks, which paired perfectly with the meal.
The service was very polished and on top of everything, like really on top of everything. As soon as we took the last bite, the plate was gone, which is impressive but also made me feel like someone was watching our every move. Not a bad thing, just noticeable.
As a first fine dining experience, it was amazing to see and taste so many creative takes on vegetarian food. I’m not sure it’s somewhere I’d go back to all the time, but for a special night out, it’s absolutely worth it.

Indienne provide one of the most memorable culinary evenings for my wife and I. We celebrated our 24th anniversary and were congratulated by at least 4 staff!
Food - unbelievable. Every course seemed to be created by both a scientist and an artist - the hidden flavours would surprise you as you worked your way through the set menu.
Wine - I chose the Indienne wine pairing. My wife did the non alcoholic pairing - which is an extremely creative idea. Both paired perfectly with each course.
Service - impeccable. Indienne displays that it belongs to run with the big boys at the near spotless service that was provided. Taking a note from Will Guidara - they gave us a beautiful card at the end of the evening with the menu on it and a congratulations on 24 years written at the top!
Overall - it’s clear why they were awarded 1 Michelin star. My only question is why stop at 1. Not sure what separates 1 star from 3 - but if I was working with Michelin - I’d argue that they deserve 3. They’re just that good.

We had a phenomenal meal at Indienne. Non-Vegetarian pre-fixe was an awesome meal with incredible variety of flavors and very well priced. We added the supplemental lobster dish, well worth it! The wine pairing was great and the Spirit Free was the best we’ve ever tried (my wife is pregnant and it was her best spirit free experience).

If I had to sum up my experience at Indienne in one word it would be “Wow.” The vegan menu was nothing short of spectacular! Everything was creative and presented beautifully with attentive and knowledgeable service. Each course was unique in flavor and texture, a masterclass in balance and depth, each note bold and distinct but not overpowering. I am clueless about wine, but the wine pairing didn’t just complement the food, it completed it. Each sip highlighted nuances in the food I might have missed otherwise. I left feeling full, impressed, and a little bit in awe… and so ready to return!

I love Indian cuisine and was very excited to try a Michelin-stared Indian restaurant. I’ve been to at least a dozen Michelin-starred restaurants, and so far this is the only one that was a bit of a letdown.
The food was beautifully presented and we enjoyed most of the courses very much (we had the non-vegetarian tasting menu). However a couple were underwhelming and the dessert and some of the end of meal treats completely missed the mark.
What surprised me the most was the service. Our meal felt extremely rushed. We arrived about 10 min early for our reservation and were seated right away (great!). Within a minute our server was presenting us with all the drink menus (there are 4 to consider), telling us about extra items which could be added to the tasting menu, and asking if we were ready to order. Of course we weren’t :) so he came back a few minutes later and we ordered cocktails. The first two courses arrived in quick succession before the cocktails did. And the rest of the meal kept coming. Overall dinner took just under 1.5 hours, which is extremely fast for a tasting menu. Also, given that a number of courses are eaten with your hands, it would have been nice to get a moist towel at the beginning of the meal to cleanse your hands. Yes, I know, I can wash my own hands, but this would have been a nice touch to go along with the Michelin star service expectations.
So overall not bad, but definitely did not live up to the expectations and the hype.
