Listen, I’m a 30something Italian with no particular connection to India apart from the occasional Indian takeaway I started enjoying after moving to London 10 or so years ago. No doubt after the last year my soul is more than a bit starved of powerful, exciting experiences so that’s probably a contributing factor to how hyperbolic the following statements might sound. What I’m getting at is that this food was somehow of a transcendental experience. I experienced the kind of euphoria you might, rarely, feel in the presence of soul-touching art or an epic sunset in an incredible natural landscape. Having gone for the Heritage Grill for 2 with an extra vegetable side, me and my partner had plenty to put away for lunch the day after. Just to say that I found this was, although a bit of a splurgy treat for us, incredibly good value for money considering the shocking quality of everything. I could not stop grinning while eating the reheated leftovers, attracting comments that I cannot be taken to a restaurant anymore if that’s how I’m going to behave (sadly not an issue at present). The meats were incredibly tender and flavourful to the core but the absolute standout for us, happy carnivores, was the Dal Makhani. I tasted it and kept looking around the room in disbelief. Thank you, Mr Sharma and Team. This meal...
Read moreVisited Heritage Dulwich with my office colleagues for a team lunch, and it turned out to be an incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with a touch of elegance that perfectly complemented the rich Indian culture.
The menu offered a great variety of traditional Indian dishes, and each one we ordered was cooked to perfection. The flavors were authentic, with the perfect balance of spices that transported us straight to India. The butter chicken and lamb biryani were crowd favorites at our table, while the vegetarian options like paneer tikka and dal makhani were equally delightful.
The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring that we felt well taken care of throughout our meal. Their recommendations were spot-on, and the service was prompt, even though the restaurant was quite busy.
What stood out the most was the attention to detail – from the presentation of the dishes to the way the staff made sure we had everything we needed. It’s not just a meal at Heritage Dulwich; it’s an experience.
Whether you’re looking for a casual meal or celebrating with a group, I highly recommend Heritage Dulwich. We left with full stomachs and big smiles, already planning...
Read moreWanted to try this restaurant for so long, as been following their Instagram for a while and seemed like a very great restaurant.
We arrived in time, 7pm, and restaurant looked fancy and tiny as the have about 10/15 tables inside and a few outside, which is great, we ordered straight away a few drinks and papadomus, as reccomedded by one of the staff to nibble on, while deciding what to order.
I already knew what I'd order for myself, as their lamb chops are super rated, so i also wanted to try them! At 7.30 the waiter came by to take the order, and when I asked for lamb chops, were told that they run out of them, which is quite understandable, however what I don't understand, is why wasn't I informed in that ½ hour that I was sat at the table, in which I would have chosen something else. Finally managed to place an order after 35mins and food was great, however service was quite inattentive, as 3 front of staff were there, plus a barman and a manager, for a small place like that, and the staff present at the time, I would expect my drink to be full at all times, instead of keep having to ask for more drinks as well as water.
Not such a great experience for us...
