Jamie1945's review of Veeraswamy, Picadilly

“Just not Indian”

★★☆☆☆

written by Jamie1945 on 22/08/2014

Hyped by my UK friends, "We'll take you to the best Indian restaurant in the world." I'm Anglo-Indian and I think they wanted to impress me.
Such a disappointment.
Hardly any vegetarian food whereas we eat pure-veg every day in India. Also, duck is not an Indian food. It is Chinese really.
I was almost expecting to see beef served; which would have been a serious put-off and I'd have walked out. But they didn't list it.
Only the rice and the breads seemed authentic.
The atmosphere is geared to the Western idea of what an Indian restaurant OUGHT to look like. Not like anywhere I know in India.
Bland food, prepared strangely and terribly over-priced.
Nowhere near the best Indian restaurant but certainly the most expensive.
