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
The best, and most stylish Indian restaurant in London by a long way. Fantastic unique decor and highly original dishes. I totally recommend it.
I was expecting something similar to the sister restaurant Blue Elephant. I was disappointed by La Porte des Indes, however the food was good as was the service. They provide entertainment for the kids at La Porte des Indes which was a bonus.
This is what I call Indian cuisine! In fact Indian with a French influence. Dishes and ingredients at La Porte des Indes are incredibly unique and delicious. The La Porte des Indes ballroom-esque interior, tropical plants and first-class service leave you with a memorable experience and one I highly recommend.
There's nothing really wrong with La Porte des Indes or the food but you do feel like you are an ingredient for a sausage machine. It's a quick in and quick out, nice enough food but nothing special for about £60 per head. Don't go to La Porte des Indes, go to Bombay Palace down the road.
We went to La Porte des Indes for a family birthday party, just the four of us. My parents were visiting London from Eastern Europe and were absolutely gobsmacked by the interior and the staff's politeness. The decor is truly magnificent and, if you are going to book the table, sit next to the waterfall.
Honestly speaking, the entrance doesn't really look that grand, but I suppose this is one of those places where you get excited by going deep inside the restaurant and expecting more and more things to be fascinated about. Palm trees, exotic flowers and authentic staff do make you feel like you are in India, which was what we all wanted.
Regarding the prices, four of us had the 2-4-1 offer (you can select from the vegetarian or non menus). We had the non-vegetarian menu, which included three courses plus a glass of house wine or beer each. The cocktails are fantastic, quite pricey though - £8.50 for alcoholic and £6.50 for non. Our total came up to £120 with a generous £10 tip from us, as it was a truly fantastic experience. I definitely will come back for Sunday Jazz lunch at La Porte des Indes!
I have been eating at Les Porte des Indes for a couple of years now and it has become a firm favorite of my father and I who I would describe as curry addicts. The menu has not changed a huge amount over the years but is varied and includes something for everyone. The dishes and the breads are delicious but the cocktails overpriced. I strongly suggest that you order off the menu and avoid the buffet if possible as well. The decoration is superb and large enough to accommodate you without booking. The service can sometimes be lacking but otherwise I would recommend La Porte des Indes to all Indian food lovers.
