Review on Khan's of Kensington

A perennial favourite among the denizens of Kensington, Khan's has taken on a colonial feel over the years, with its bright colours, wood floors, vibrant artwork and a big mural depicting historic scenes from Indian life on one wall. There's also a relaxed lounge bar and private dining room downstairs.

The menu homes in on classic North Indian cuisine, so expect plenty of tandooris and tikkas (from chicken and lamb boti kebab to salmon and pomfret). Among the star turns are stuffed sea bass with saffron rice, 'Officers Chops' cooked in honey and soy sauce, and creamy lobster malai with cashews, cumin and coriander. Otherwise, the kitchen turns out king prawn puri, chicken jalfrezi, sag ghost and Malabar fish curry, plus a decent selection of vegetables, rice and breads.
