just went there last night for a friends birthday dinner.

we were a group of about 10 - service was sooo slow. took about 30-40mins from ordering to everyone getting their drinks - and the starters just started coming out by then - and we didnt get it all at the same time. A few people got their mains even before some people had had their starters.

The waiters were inattentive and some looked so miserable you were a little frighthened to speak to them.

The food was variable, some had ok meals, some had not so nice meals. Mine was really mediocre. I could get better from the local curry take-away.

And for the price - it is so not worth it!

I paid 17.50 for a meal that could just about satisfy a 10 year old and looked like it being cooked by one!

Dont waste your money here. I am sure there are much nicer and better valued Indian restaurants around. If you cant find any, I am sure your local curry house will have much better food for a fraction of the price.

La Port Des Indes...over priced your paying for location and what I can only assume is there previous track record.
Prices's for a simple main dish £17+ and this consited of 5 pieces of chicken in a moderately tasty sauce. Nan breads at £4 each WHY?
My starter of Sheikh Kebab (£7+) appeared to not have been cooked at all when first brought to the table and resembled somthing from the Iceland frezzer store, on getting the waiters attention he looked confused that I dare complain.
2 others within the party of 10 had to return there main dishes as these where cold and the restaurant was not even half full at this time.
The menu itself had a lot of detail but you could get caught out of the set menu at £30 or £37 if you have an item with a symbol next to it or even more.
It was unfortuante as I can imagine in its hayde it was a good place to eat but appears to be relying on its past for customers.
As with other reviewers there are such an abudance of places to eat in London this would not be one I would chose or recommend.
I have had far better indian food from my local.
Expect to pay in excess of £40 per head for a meal which may leave you wishing you had stayed at home and ordered in.

Disappointing. Small portions, over-priced and in all honesty I've had better Indian food from the supermarket. Waiters literally coming out of the woodwork but getting their attention was like trying to flag down a black cab in the snow. Won't be going back.

I went to La Porte des Indes with 2 friends on a Wednesday night and we ordered from the £22 set menu.

The staff were very attentive and polite couldn't do enough. The decor inside the restaurant is stunning with the sound of the waterfall in the background and the beautiful table settings.

The selection from the set menu was excellent. When the food arrived, I was a bit concerned about the size of the portions, however the food is so rich that it turned out they were the right sizes.

It would have been nice to have a larger rice portion though. As we were leaving, I was impressed that when I left the doorman remembered my name from the booking, which was a nice touch.

I would reccommend ordering from the set menu as the a la carte prices are very high.

very exciting & dressy venue.
small bar, extraordinarily large rooms for dining.
the food is alright, not exceptional.
the staff are not the friendliest,
especially when they try and force you to have a set menu??
its fun with friends for a dressy night out.

Not impressed at all, the food was tasteless and the portions were really small. Not value for money at all. Even the decor looks bit dated now. I had a better time in Anokha which is a new bar & restaurant at fenchurch st. We got 50% discount booking through toptable and the food was lovely. So I definitely dont recommend La Port De Indes.

Highly over priced for what it was. The prices were high to pay for the ridiculous outfits the staff were made to wear maybe? I have had a better curry at my local curry house in Brighton
