We went on good Friday 2012 (apr 6th). I am writing a review on all the websites hoping they will improve. This is a tired looking restaurant so do not believe the pictures on their website. Food was very mediocre. The Mixed grill starter was cold and tasteless. The chicken tikka was white? and there was only 1 seek kebab which was dry and tasteless! The plates with the Khan's livery were clean but tired with marks around the sides. We ordered a full chicken. Normally this takes time to cook and is made fresh with a marinaded full chicken. At Khan's they just took 4 leg pieces and 1 breast piece from a previously prepared chicken which was over coloured and they simply just heated it in the microwave and put on a plate. Mixed grills normally arrive sizzling hot with fresh ingredients. Not so here. The best thing was the chips! which the children ordered. We were going to walk out after the starter but mistakenly decided (giving them a final chance) to have the main. We ordered the chili chicken and the chick peas curry. The former was too hot, tasteless and over coloured red! For the latter, the chick peas were not cooked and still hard. The best thing we had were the starter poppadoms with the 4 different sauces. This is the first and last time we will go to this restaurant. There is a 10% service charge which is not optional as it automatically added to your bill. Staff service was OK and relatively attentive, but then this was about 6.15pm and it was not very busy.

Terrible food and service, went with my family including my mum, wife and kids. The food is not only awful, but very old(out of date) and uncooked raw meat. Please avoid, some of the food was just so uneatable we just sent back for a refund. Please avoid, it is a really really bad restaurant with terrible service. Now has a Muslim prayer room down stairs for Friday prayers, not tried it, but if you need to use it I can't comment. however, the poor was of such bad quality like old and uncooked when we approached the waiters they were argumentative instead of just being honest and apologising. If the Westminster health inspectors don't get to them first lets hope God sorts them out and get the horrid restaurant closed down!

Save yourself and family and avoid.

Inayat, Croydon in Surrey.

i was a new customer in khans i did enjoy the food and drink it didn't take long everything was spot on but since iv tyred the Bengal restaurant i preferred to go there as my choice they have a selection of soft drinks & wines, it was a deltighful evening.

The food was probably the worst I have ever tasted, too salty, the chicken was not even breast. DISGUSTING. Do not eat here.

I had heard this place was the Indian version of the Chinese Won Key in China Town - a fun churn them out place with good food.So I wasn't surprised to be greeted by Rude Waiters from the start. However, this is the only entertaining thing about the place. If you think thats entertaining.The food was dire. I'm not sure how they managed to mess up the chutneys and lime sauce (it was salty) but they did. The curries were beyond dire - i've experienced better sauce from the cheapest jar of sauce in a supermarket. I think you even get better curries in most of the states (not known for their curries). They no longer serve Alcohol of any kind - you can't even bring your own to the place, a feature often common with the Indians on Brick Lane.

Khans has been an institution where i have been visiting for over 30 years.

Until recently it was noisy, you sat on long tables together with others and the food was good, inexpensive and the house wine very good value.

I had not been there for a few years and after a botched appointment in the area decided to try Khans again as it had never dissapointed before.

The place has undergone a transformation. No longer is it licenced !!! You have to buy a bottle of water for about £2.50 !!! The dishes are minute and expensive and I think its only vegetarian so no meat dishes any more!

The tables are now seperate and wider spaces and its a relaxed non hectic place but only suitable for teetotal vegetarians on a diet as the £6-£7 dishes are starter sized.

Unfortunately this place is now off my list of where to go after over 30 years as a favourite!

Khans food was totally crap. It had too much colouring it in, and didn’t taste too good. Our bill didn’t even show what we ordered, it just gave us prices, so we didn’t know what were being charged for. Then we told them to recheck the bill and they said it was fine, but we then asked again they had amdae a mistake and overcharged us.


When we asked for the manager he was so rude. Khans manager shouted at us and said told us he was going to call the police. It is a totally crap place to eat and the service is crap too.

I visited Khans on a Tuesday in March. I thought that the tables were very close together, it was like I was sitting at the same long table as my neighbours plus, the place is huge and very noisy. There is no carpet and it has a high ceiling. With such unpleasant ambience I fail to see why Khans is popular.



I tell the fellow I'm wheat and dairy free and he said that the only dish that didn't have dairy was the chick peas - not very vegan friendly! So I left Khans. I ended up at the nearby Standard Indian Restaurant and had a pleasant meal.

Khans in my opinion has to be the most worst place to eat on this planet, let alone London. The waiters were rude, no politeness, plates were piled up on the table after starters, the food was undercooked, tasteless and there was no atmosphere, not even any background music

You get better food at my local chicken and chip shop (and that's saying something).

If you want a bad experience, along with bad food, go and waste your money on Khans in Bayswater!

Having lived in Bayswater for years I returned recently to find the quality of food in Khans has slipped. Service was quick but more in a miltary fashion for fast turnover of tables. My chicken dish contained large amounts of fat and when paying 20p less of the 10% service charge added to the bill (in line with our view of the quality) we encountered a rude waiter and manager who refused to accept that the food was not good. We paid the full service charge because it was not worth the effort but I won't return here again. There are plenty of nicer Indian options in London with better food and friendly service.
