Kutir — Restaurant in London

Yesterday, I dined at the winner of the 2022 UK Restaurant Awards for the Best Restaurant of the Year – Kutir, a high-end Indian restaurant located in Chelsea, London.

🪷 From the outside, the place doesn't look like a typical restaurant; it's tucked away in a quiet corner of the Chelsea terrace houses. After ringing the doorbell, a waiter in a suit vest opens the door for you, revealing a world inside that is both exquisite and luxurious, filled with exotic charm.

🦚 The brightly coloured wallpaper depicts natural landscapes and flora and fauna characteristic of India. Embroidered flowers are vivid and lifelike, while the peacock feathers are adorned with sparkling crystals, creating a beautifully harmonized overall colour scheme.

🍴 We opted for the lunch set menu, priced at £35 for 3 courses, which is quite a good deal in central London.

Starter

🍤 Prawns Masala

Juicy and tender large prawns, coated in a thin layer of batter, emit an enticing aroma. Served with lime, raw onions, and other herbs, it's a refreshing and appetising start.

🐐 Keema Pav

Spicy and delicious minced goat meat, slow-cooked, paired with soft and tasty buttered pav (bread). Despite the heat, it's irresistible.

The main course includes 2 types of naan bread, a serving of white rice, and a portion of spiced daal soup.

🐟 Meen Moilee

This one is a real winner! The coconut curry is sweet and not very spicy, and the sea bass is crispy on the outside and tender and fresh inside. It's so delicious that we ordered an extra serving of naan bread to dip in the coconut curry – pure bliss!

🍛 Chicken Tikka Masala

The chicken is tender, but for me, it's a bit too spicy. The curry is thick, flavorful, and explosively spicy.

Dessert

🍮 Bhapa Doi

This dessert is intriguing, tasting like a rosewater-infused version of Italian panna cotta. The combination of condensed milk and steamed yoghurt is rich, complemented by honeycomb and fruits, with red currants adding a visually stunning touch.

🥭 Cassata Mango

The texture of this dessert is unique, a blend of ice cream and cake. Both the milk and fruit flavours are intense, with rosewater for the pink part and mango for the orange part – the use of fresh fruit is evident in the mango section.

🍰 After the meal, we were treated to a mini dessert, and at the coat check, there was an Indian version of mouth freshener – a mixture of fennel seeds, mint, and sugar balls. Typically consumed after meals, it leaves a fragrant taste in the mouth, though some may find the flavour...

Kutir Indian Cuisine, a delicious adventure in Sloane Square!

Families, in a hidden delicious corner in Sloane Square, West London - Kutir Indian cuisine is really amazing! It's right next to a luxury shopping street, and the interior decoration is exquisite and the atmosphere is warm. I really like it~ and the lunch set menu costs 35 pounds per person, so I'll share it with you!

🍤 Appetizer: Prawn Masala, recommended for family members who like spicy food! The prawns are fresh and tender, and the spiciness of the Masala spices is irresistible. Every bite is spicy and satisfying!

🍞 Appetizer Lamb Butter Brisket, this one is really outstanding! The aroma of butter is mixed with the deliciousness of the lamb, and the softness of the brioche buns and the chewy texture of the lamb are perfectly combined, making it endlessly memorable!

🐟 Main course Meen pan-fried sea bass with coconut curry leaves, delicious! The sea bass is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the fragrance of coconut-flavored curry leaves is overflowing. It is the kind of delicious food that makes people feel good after eating it!

🍗 Main dish Chicken Masala, this is also a must-try! The chicken is tender and juicy, and the rich layers of masala spices make the whole dish more tempting, satisfying all your wonderful imaginations of Indian food!

🍨 Dessert steamed yogurt with honey and wild berries, super amazing! The mellowness of fresh yogurt combined with the sweetness of berries, plus the sweetness of honey, brings a cold and refreshing delicious experience!

🍦 Dessert pink pepper pistachio and cranberry ice cream, slightly peppery and crispy with pistachio, paired with the sweet and sour cranberry, it feels very fresh~ You can even order another set meal!

Their lunch set is well worth a try. Don’t miss the delicious food here when you’re tired of shopping in Sloane Square! Come on, family members!

@Kutir...

One of the best Indian gourmet experiences I've had. First of all, the place itself is lovely, the fact that the restaurant is in a little house makes it very cozy yet very elegant. Decor is very nice. The service was amazing. We were lucky to be waited on by Lucas who was really perfect - very professional, friendly and always eager to make our evening enjoyable. We started of with two of their well reviewed cocktails and were not desappointed!! Absolutely fantastic! I had the one with violet and gin (can't remember the name!) and my husband tried the one with active charcoal! Really tasty! We then went for the full signature menu and wine pairing (it was our wedding anniversary after all!). The food was exquisite. Wines were really great too. The only thing I regret is that the service was a little too fast at the beginning (we hadn't even finished our cocktails that they had brought us the first dish along with the first wine.. a little frustrating!!). It was like that for the first 2 dishes, we even had to rush our drinks, until we asked our waiter to slow it down which he told the kitchen to do and all went well afterwards. Maybe one thing that I would change in the signature Menu (and it is very unlikely for me to say that!!) is the quantity of food or amount of dishes : by the time our main courses arrived we were both almost full. And the food tasted soooo delicious, it was a pity not being fully able to appreciate the last dish and the desserts. In my opinion, the starter made out of a naan with egg and truffle was a bit too copious and could have been half as big or just a “bouchée” as to also let us skip one extra glass of wine. This is obviously just my opinion but we are usually big eaters and we were surprised not being able to finish our menu and our dessert wines.

All in all Kutir is a pure gem. Fantastic flavors, great service and lovely atmosphere! We can’t wait to go back and taste the menu a la Carte this time ;-) Thank you again for a wonderful anniversary dinner...
