- I'm back in London today to visit a very special restaurant known as Veeraswamy. Veeraswamy is famous for being the oldest Indian restaurant in the whole of the United Kingdom as it opened it's doors in 1926. It was also awarded a Michelin Star in 2016 and it's been recommended to me by a few of you.

Really glad you enjoyed and had a good experience, Gary. I've been to Veeraswamy twice now for big treat occasions. As you say, it is a step above anything else. The smell of fresh toasted spices and the general ambience are very special. What's most impressive is how they keep that quality in the evenings when every seat is taken - and yet the ambience is just as pleasant and relaxed! You certainly pay for what you get.
Spot on Alexander. What a lovely comment, pinned
Looked nicer than the one's in Knightsbridge,and that was 200 a head albeit with wine
@@GaryEats Point being is you get what you pay for and when the quality is above and beyond then how can you argue? Granted, it's treat territory as you say, it's expensive but if you want the absolute best then you pay for it in my opinion. So long as you can reasonably afford it though obviously. 👍
You'd be incorrect to think this Tony. I put any money made from the channel back into reviews because I enjoy doing it.
@@GaryEatsTony?
Almost in tears there, Gary, never seen you so moved. Veeraswamy has always been the pinnacle of Indian food. Lucky man.
I think I must have said wow about a 100 times. It was superb, really appreciate your kind words John

The vegetarian meal looked wonderful. Serious food envy setting in here! I would save up for something as lovely as that .
@@GaryEatsthree people could share that!
Tom Kerridge dreaming of the quality this restaurant delivers
No comment lol
I bet he is, won’t achieve it.😂😂

I'll stick my neck out and say Kerridge is almost as big a British con as Brexit!
He sure is. Trouble is he now truly believes he’s the dog’s. I remember when he first appeared on tv he was actually quite humble and generous. What happened Tom?
Great review again Gary, and the cameraman deserves a special mention here, for capturing the beauty of the presentation. Yes it's expensive but this is obviously a special occasion restaurant and just looking at it the food, the presentation and your reactions to the tastes I felt it was worth every penny. I loved how, while a Michelin starred restaurant, it was still at heart a curry house (albeit a very expensive one) so none of the tiny portions or trying to be too clever for it's own good. It's clearly gained it's awards by focusing on those things that actually matter. A 10/10 for me, too.
I have to say, I agree with you. I watched the video during editing and thought he done an excellent job so thank you for pointing that out. It'll put a smile on his face and you're spot on regarding the meal!
The Veeraswamy Indian Restaurant
OH MY
My parents🙏🙏🙏 got married in September 63. They spent their honeymoon in London. Travelled by train from Birmingham New St
It was just for a week (those days could not afford to go ‘abroad’)
On an evening out they dined at this famous Indian Restaurant
And my fathers maternal cousin and her husband 🙏🙏🙏got married in March 63
They also honeymooned in London and got there by motorbike a Triumph T100
They too spent a week in London and they also went to this famous Indian Restaurant
Amazing
👍 👍 👍 👍 ❤️❤️❤️🏴🏴😍😍
What an incredibly story Joanne. Thank you!
Look off the grid ,amazing place
Perfect marriage of British classiness and Indian vivaciousness. I went there 3 years ago for my birthday and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it. Certainly an expensive treat, but utterly faultless. 10/10.
This is an absolutely superb comment. I really loved the first part and I'm glad you had a great time!
I completely agree. The dishes are simple but done so elegantly that I couldn't put into words how classy the product of their food is. It's quite special to achieve that, it's one thing to be able to produce something like that butbit's another thing to be able to maintain it year after year. Veeraswamy is a treasure and you put it on display for us perfectly. Great vid.
Spot on. Fantastic way of putting it
A £75 tasting menu in a Michelin starred restaurant in Central London must be the bargain of the century.
I thought that was excellent value as well Johnathan
I watched the whole review before i commented, so i wouldn't miss anything you had to say! To dine at a Indian Michelin restaurant is on my bucket list to do. I asked a while ago if you could go and experience one for us ( you said yes! ) and thankfully you delivered. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it I enjoyed you experiencing this meal from my arm chair, licking my lips here.
Thanks Gary.
I had a great time Steve and thank you for the suggestion 👌
I know it's expensive. It's a michelin stared restaurant in London. You know before you go. BUT for a special occasion or treat, this is something you will not get elsewhere. Forget indian think, michelin restaurant. This did not disappoint. It hit the mark. Quality, service, surroundings, and location. It's an event with first class food. Just looking you could tell that was special food. (Great portion sizes too)
Spot on Steven. Fantastic comment
@GaryEats also you had two mains and a naan. If you added a portionof rice, that would have fed two. Not so expensive then 😊
I think people will focus on the fact that it's an Indian restaurant and will judge the price harshly because of that, not taking into account that it's Michelin starred. However, you did order two mains to try. Normally most people would only get one. Sounds like you could probably get a full meal for one with starters etc for >£70 which at a Michelin starred restaurant is actually really good. Plus, the food looked phenomenal.
You're right. In essence, I could have ordered less and left spending £50 but I feel it's only right to order both a veggie and a meat dish. Thanks for watching and completely agree with you
Yeah but that's only for one main with no starter or dessert. Gary didn't even have rice, only naan and £8 for a butter naan is ridiculous.
@@moorenicola6264 You would spend more at Miller and Carter TBH and that is not a patch on this
@@moorenicola6264I would bet my house it would be the best naan you’ve ever eaten. I totally agree it’s expensive but it is in essence the most up market naan you can purchase in London. £8 (whilst I can’t believe I’m saying this) is actually pretty reasonable. You pay £8 for a cheese sandwich here in London.

The colours of the dishes and presentation looked top notch Gary and as a treat you get what you pay for so big thumbs up from me.
Unbelievable all round. Glad you liked the video!
It's a fantastic restaurant, Gary! Only been there a handful of times, usually work related, but with the wife a couple of times. Always fabulous service, fantastic food, fabulous presentations and the ambience is amazing. It will always be a 10 out 10 in my database. But it's of course on the expensive side, but worth a visit on a special occasion, without a shadow of a doubt. The roast duck vindaloo is just to die for and so is their roasted coconut chicken curry!! You really made me hungry now, mate! 😃 Another fantastic review in tbe bag, Gary, keeping up the fabulous work! Have yourself an absolutely wonderful rest of your day and speak to you soon. Keep an eye out for an email towards the weekend. 😊
Top man Frank. Glad you like it at Veeraswamy, sometimes it's worth having a treat. Thanks again and I will do mate!
I was expecting Noel Coward to pop up on the Piano it was that much 1940s Ambience going on , great restaurant number1
Lol brilliant Christine
@@GaryEats cheers 🥂 Gary I only know who Noel was from the TV show Goodnight Sweetheart you know where the guy coincidentally called Gary too goes back in time to the 40s it was a cool show
Hi Gary and Mr Cameraman,
Firstly i owe you an apology, as soon as the clip came on, i said 'at those prices no 10 /10 from me here.
I was so wrong, once the food came out i could tell instantly it was quality, the veg, the sauce thickness, the presentation, it was amazing.
I would 100% go here and pay the price for these amuse-bouches.
Chris.
It was special Chris I’ll be going back
Hahaha love it Gary, give my best to the wife and kids. I was with Donna at the Bengal Lancer on Friday and I said 'Let's give it a go' before we went in and Donna haha you know how she is (Jimmy Choos from Bicester Village) looked round the car park for people who heard haha all the best
Hahah brilliant stuff mate. Take care and all the best to you and your family
Hi Gary, thanks for yet another great video. This is one of those restaurants that you visit for very special occasions, everything looks stunning. Pricey, but given the quality still worth the visit. Definitely a 10/10!
Spot on Virgil. Only for a treat!
The food looked fantastic. Definitely on the list of places to go for a special occasion. Great review
Thanks Steve. Top man
WOW!! Gary that was perfection. My mouth was watering, had dental work done yesterday and had to stick with soft foods but watching this episode was very satisfying. You make people feel like they are right there with you, well done. Looking forward to dining there someday. Great job Gary! As always, Linda from Laguna Beach 💕💕🏄🏻♀️🏄🏻♀️🍻🍻🐳🐳😊😊🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️
Hi Linda. I'm very jealous of where you are! Thanks so much for the lovely comment
Just stumbled on this channel today and I'm loving it. It's just proper, old school youtube like the glory days. No clickbaity stuff. Just a bloke who loves food going around with a camera, eating food and saying "Wow". Doesn't need any annoying extra frills. Just good charming, honest stuff. Shout out Gary, what a ledge.
That’s very kind Rob and appreciate you watching and commenting, have a great week 👍
I came here to say the same, I love the genuineness of these videos.
That was my mum and dad's favorite restaurant. I never went as I'm a wimp with spices. Not too many restaurants have stood the test of time
Oh no, you should have gone lol. Great to hear they loved it!
@@GaryEats you put new meaning into" wow" Gary. 😃
Nice place Gary , The food looks good happy for you . Catch up next time.
You tube paid for your meal
I'm having Indian tonight because of this !! Very nice interior to the restaurant. Such a coward not having the duck Vindaloo lol. 😁
The presentation was just immaculate. That's a nice big naan bread.
Vegetable Korma looked lovely. Curried asparagus is a decadent delight ! Chicken Makhani looked lovely.
It's a great place for a special meal with a loved one as it's very pricey but worth it as a special treat. Thanks for showing us this place Gary. It's a 9.5 for me as it has a service charge but that's a great review.
Please send me the invoice Andrew! No problem and thanks for your fantastic comment
I really liked the way you chose the dishes, little on the carbs, as the light naan would not have made you feel bloated after it. Will give it a try. Thanks. Looked like a 10/10
Thank you so much 😊 that's why I did it. Thought the rice would have been too much and I wanted to show you all the dishes they have on hand :)
U a busy man Gary. Shout to u and the camera man! Your subscribers forever building. Inspiring. All the best to u
I appreciate that thank you so much
Oh my goodness. What a spectacular place. You could tell. When the camera hit the food it was going to be a great meal. You wouldn t want to take anyone with you there. Unless you sell the farm first lol. Well a ten out of ten just like you. Thank you again for taking us along with you. Keep the smile going 💞
Glad you enjoyed it Carol!! Lol, it's definietly only a treat for me... couldn't go there every month!
@@GaryEats thats for sure. I am so glad you enjoyed. And it wasn t a waste of money. Have a great day i will be waiting for your next video
The level of content on this channel is brilliant
Thank you
Incredible video yet again Gary, I think you missed out though you should’ve had the rice if it’s that good restaurant they would’ve had aged basmati rice. I worked today Ops manager in rice factory and when you got aged Basmati rice it was out of this world and I think they would’ve been using that so if you ever go back again make sure you have a rice dish.
Vindaloo shouldn’t be overly hot. It’s about the vinegar that they used to cook it with so if they know what they’re doing, it’s not gonna blow your head off otherwise they wouldn’t put it with duck. Your channel gets better and better by the day mate, Look forward to all your videos keep them coming
Don't say that Steve, I'll live with regret and want to go back tomorrow lol. Top man and thank you!
@@GaryEats l love your channel Gary wouldn’t wanna upset you much. Just keep on finding out all the good places. I might have a few for you to try but you won’t need my advice you’re doing a brilliant job as it is keep on eating because you look good on it
Gary and the cameraman does such a superb job on this channel, that it’s always an automatic thumbs up. You’re a credit to RUclips sir.
Dave I’m so pleased you made this comment, I think he does an exceptional job so thank you 🙏
I've been there a few times over the years, fist time was as an 18th birthday treat from my late Dad who was Anglo Indian (he.went there first in 1952 when he first came to the UK)
Then a lovely ex partner takes me for lunch there when he's in the UK for work....so about every 2/3 years is my treat.
Totally agree about the cost, it is expensive but you're getting top quality food & service in an amazing setting.
Worth doing if only once for a treat or special occasion.
Thanks for doing this one love, brought back many happy memories!
I think you've nailed it Tracy. A once every year or so treat is how I would deem it. So many superb restaurants around the country that also deserve a try. Thanks for the lovely comment
I'm not good with spice Korna and Rogan josh or about my level. I may go there when Im next in London
@GaryEats Eyup Gaz..Me and the missus coming to London 28th June for 3 days for her 50th (29th) Indian her fav food so might give this a go... Unbelievably expensive tbf no matter how good (£28 for 1 curry 😮😮) so I'll need to think about it..We've already booked Blacklock's in covent garden for Sunday lunch..We booked it after watching your review when you said there was a 3 month waiting list but we managed to get in ok.👍👍.. I'll buy you a pint if we see you ..😂😂..cheers Guy..
@@GaryEatshey Gary, yes it’s ok but not mind blowing at all, £8 for a fkng naan bread, they should be locked up for that robbery, that surely has to be the most expensive naan bread in the uk !
Yes your Michelin started, but a naan bread is naan bread, they use the same flour, and butter ! Insanity

Wow, what a wonderful restaurant, Gary! And the food looked outstanding. I wish I’d been there with you!
Thanks for yet another excellent video!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
You’re killing it Gary. I hope you get to 1 million subs in the next year 👍
I think more chance of winning the lottery lol but really appreciated
That was indeed spectacular Gary. The ambiance of the restaurant, top quality service, the food; all deserved your 10/10 score. As a special treat WOW!!! Many thanks for sharing this special treat with us 👍💎👍💎👍
Spot on Andreas. You are more than welcome and thanks for the lovely comment!
The price of a meal is secondary to the quality, when I have eaten a disappointing meal I resent the cost regardless if it is cheap or expensive.
Spot on Benjamin
Exactly.
Evening chaps, what a stunning looking interior. Days of the Raj comes to mind😊 definitely a cut above my local curry house. Gary,actors learn their lines and tell a story. But your expression, your comments. The sheer joy you showed with every aspect of that meal,well that's sold it to me 😊and as you know i'm not a spicey curry type of guy. Price,cost is always going to be a major factor 😢. A family treat,for say 4 people £300-£350. Oh but the quality of that restaurant and the memories that you leave with i would say almost priceless 😊❤Allan&Family
Allan, I’m disappointed in you, I said way to many wows and you let me off, thank you 🙏. This actually blew me away the restaurant service and food …. Only one word. BRILLIANT lol thank you as always and regards to the family and all have a WOW week lol 😂👍👍
@@GaryEats Evening Gary, as you know I watch many food vlogs ( of which you are the best) And I'm now aware of the language of " vlog speak " in this tongue, like the native Eskimos and snow( over 20 words fo it) WOW can have multiple meanings. So your in the clear.
Mr Gary, went there in 1989, it knock the socks off on our local Restaurants in SW14 and surrounding areas, even better when the Client paid.
Great to hear Stephen. It's a wonderful place
Winston ,Elizabeth,Gary,to high end for my humble self but it’s no sin to live vicariously and that is what I call living,great food ,wonderful decour intoxicating smells and the cameraman’s sturdy companionship, I was expecting you to do a little leap in the air as you walked down the lane with a discrete click of the heels in mid air.Another great review and as always,I gave it a go!
Bruce this is only for a very special occasion as I’m well aware it’s extremely expensive 👍
Love the reaction. I’ve eaten at a few Michelin restaurants and tell everyone that you’ve not tasted food until you eat Michelin. It’s amazing. Food that makes you smile and literally say wow. I love it. You need to try Opheem in Birmingham. 10 course tasting menu. It’s Indian but nothing like you’ve had before, not a Bhaji or Naan in sight. They e just got a second star. Amazing
I'll see what I can do. Might be another one to try in the future - thank you
Hi Gary. Great review. I have eaten here a few times back in the 90s when I was working at Green Park. I recall being blown away by how beautiful it is and feels very luxurious and special. The food excellent too. I think there was a buffet available back then. Regarding the price - it was back in the 90s which meant lunch was on expenses!
That’s the way to go, put it on the company account or find a rich friend lol
I only stumbled upon your channel a few weeks ago, but I adore it! Your genuine enthusiasm shines though! Thanks mate.
That is so kind thank you for the lovely comment and for watching it’s really appreciated
Another idea for a T-Shirt would be "It's put a smile on my face".
Not more t shirt ideas 🤣
Glad you got to really enjoy yourself there, Gary. Shame that the bill ended up being a lot more searingly spicy than the food, but I suppose for that kind of food, service and ambience, it's worth it for an occasional treat. That Michelin star didn't come out of nowhere.
You're spot on
Wonderful Stuff, as always! Thank You!
I went to Veeraswamy, back, in the mid 2010s…I described it thus :
“Ethereal”.
It was just so good.
This is really really good to hear. Glad you enjoyed it!
Food looked lovely. That naan had my mouth watering :) If you go back again sometime it'd be nice to see what creative ways they've come up to elevate rice,I'm sure they have. Expensive yes but true quality is and you'd only go somewhere like that as a REAL treat and probably as a special occasion(unless you're doing it for your RUclips channel). I wish your wallet a speedy recovery 😆
My wallet is still in hiding and doesn't want to come out Rob lol. You're spot on regarding it being a treat!
Don't mind paying for quality unlike Tom Kerridge's fish and chips.
Now now Bruce lol
how can you top that Gary? everything about this place looks incredible, so glad you enjoyed the experience, cheers Gav
Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers Gav 👍🏼
As soon as the food arrived I smiled too, straight away that looks like class!
It was superb Adrian. Couldn't fault it and that's rare for me
What a lovely restaurant it’s nice when you actually get a beautiful experience and you then don’t question the price
I have to agree 💯with you Peter
Presentation wow, love the fact you have burners to keep it hot. That Naan looked perfect.
You know your somewhere upmarket when you have a bit of Silver leaf on a veg korma.
I'm guessing your in at lunchtime Gary did you have to pre-book and if so how far infront.
Only thing missing there is a nice cold pont of Kingfisher.
I would have definitely gone for the tasting menu as the price is almost the same.
Just on looks it a 10 if you don't take vfm into account Gary.
I'm off to Google the place
Spot on Rob. I really had a hard time marking this one as I wanted to take price into but when something exceeds your expectations in all areas, it has to be a 10.
@@GaryEats did you pre-book far in advance?
I did not. Day before.
Michelin Star. Central London. Unforgettable food and ambience. Anyone in the comments who moans about the price is missing the point by a country mile. 11/10 any day of the week!
That’s a great comment
Great review. I went here a few years ago before the Michelin star and had a very average meal. I do know the other two restaurants in the chain and had much better meal at one of them, Chutney Mary in Fulham. I suspect Veeraswamy is now under new management and they have considerably raised their game. Will have to make a return visit I think.
Thanks Steve. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it before but maybe time to go back and give it a go. I'll be doing Chutney Mary for a comparison video in the future - all the best!
Thanks Gary, that was an insight into some wonderful food, and the 10 was spot on, a cracking review, thank you.
Very kind Colin thank you 🤩
Think the wow count was high on this one Gary. Looked amazing. Great review.
Thanks John👍 apologies on the amount of wows
Another brilliant choice! Great review. I’ve just had my dinner and this is making me hungry!
My apologies Stephen and thank you
Sitting in my kitchen watching this, eating a “Vesta Chicken curry”, I’m feeling a little overwhelmed by your meal, excellent camera work👍
I'll let the cameraman know. Thanks Gary
Another brilliant review Gary! Really great delivery of content. Regarding your comments about not ordering vegetarian in Indian restaurants, I think you are missing out on a lot. A fairly large chunk of India eats vegetarian and you get incredible variety and flavor combination in vegetarian too. You can try them in places like Sagar, Saravana Bhavan or Taste of India across various locations in London.
I now fully agree and apologise completely 👍😳
Thanks Gary, one for the notebook, you can't beat perfect!
I totally agree!
That looks gorgeous, what a wonderful venue
Another Great Video Gary
Very kind and a great venue
Loved the flock wallpaper
Very nice in there
Inside it looked like somewhere you would go for afternoon tea not a curry
Indeed
Day's of the Raj
It was@@johngibson3837
Wowzers...what a lovely place,and that food looked amazing...Gary your face painted a thousand words...ok expensive but for a treat...quality over quantity wins over sometimes. Ty for sharing your pure enjoyment 🎉..incredible..you own that word🎉🎉
Thank you and too much wows but this was INCREDIBLE 👍
Congratulations, Gary, you are now the most famous person that has eaten there.
Lol you're too kind Patrick
Wow Gary that looked excellent!
It was breathtaking!
Liz Taylor, huh? Once, about 25 years ago, I was waiting with my wife at a doctor's office (surgeon's to you folks), and while we were waiting, they called up Elizabeth Taylor and Roger Moore. Had they next called up Sean Connery, I would have grabbed my wife's hand and attempted to escape this obvious enclave of the Twilight Zone.
7:29 This does look delicious. And asparagus--definitely a grown-up taste. You can pick up a shoot of asparagus and wave it and chase kids away from your house.
15:09 NOT considering price, I'd give it an 11 out of 10. With price, an easy 10 out of 10.
16:26 Yes, what WAS that crumpled-up ball of aluminium foil there on top?
Indeed it was. I think used for decoration and fantastic comment
THANK YOU GARY …🥰🥰AS AN INDIAN I CAN TELL JUST BY LOOKING AT THE DISHES THAT THEY ARE AWESOME …
Thank you that’s really appreciated
The prices on the menu are eye-watering but right from the opening shots of the restaurant interior I got the sense of how relaxing and comfortable the dining room is. Add in the level of service, the prestige of the restaurant and of course the quality of the dishes then it all goes to justify the cost.
It’s very expensive but service, surroundings and quality of the food makes it one for that really special occasion
11/10 EXCEPTIONAL.What a jewel.Lighting/camera was pukka & did you give any to the yet..unseen..cameraman.😋 👏.
This was excellent and I’ll let the cameraman know your lovely comment 👍
Gary if you are flush why not try the London Salt Bae golden leaf steak for £1,450? Or the legendary Star Bar, Glasgow £4 for three courses packed every day. It's a tough choice 😂
Lol 😂
Why not Colin let’s give it a go …….. how much 😳 change of plan 😂
Place looks amazing, table looks fantastic, and food must taste Great, Hope you enjoy it as much I I did on your video, Congrats
That is fantastic to hear thank you, Enrique
Evening Gary👍that was clearly exceptional. I'm glad it was even better than expectation and as for the price, I think if able it's nice to treat ourselves now and again. In my 52 years(obviously living under a rock)this is the first time I've heard of a Makhani and it looked delicious. A beautiful estashment with great service and food,nice one mate✌️
Top man Martin. Thank you, the Makhani was excellent
Chicken Makhani is another name for Butter Chicken, Butter is called Makhan in North India.
Vindaloo is one of my favourite dishes Gary. I don’t mind paying top dollar for a fantastic meal, but as you say, I couldn’t do it every day. That looked delicious!
I have to say this was outstanding
Beautiful decor, the food looks wonderful and presentation is great and white tablecloth. I love Indian but rice is, to me, an absolutely necessity. It is a little pricy. Wow is a a perfectly fine descriptor!!
Thanks for watching it is beautiful
Looked absolutely amazing Gary, I was drooling, excellent content as usual my friend.
Expensive but what an experience.👍👍👍👍
Thanks Kev 👍
That food looks absolutely amazing. I don’t mind paying if the quality is good and that looks incredible! One point though; did you have to book or could you walk in?
I think you can just walk in. It wasn’t busy at all but I did book just in case
What a rip-off restaurant I wouldn’t go there 😂😂😂 put some fancy music on and have some wallpaper and put it in London. You can charge an absolute fortune.
Your opinion 🤷♂️
Wow! That looked delicious. Did you not fancy a bit of rice?
I don’t think I’d have been able to eat it all Natalie 🤣
I think the management only uses the very best of ingredients and for their chefs the very best,then you have to pay the for that quality and more importantly a great experience. Good review again Gary but I’ll have to save up my pension before I can go,
A great comment Tony and agree a bit pricey
You pay for quality Gary, i would go there easy, price, expensive- yes but if its good its worth the lolly
I full6 agree 💯
Hello Gary, I was wondering how Charlie Chaplin managed to get up and down the stairs with his walking stick...with difficulty I suppose.
Lucky there's a lift lol. Although, he may have had trouble going to the bathroom
That looked like a very tasty korma, glad you enjoyed Gary!...you lucky man....
✌🤜🏽
I was very luck on this one Lee
That looked fabulous and infact 2 meals ok minus rice for such quality was in my opinion very good value. Why just because it's an Indian meal , one of clearly such quality be considered overpriced. It's misguided perceptions
I don't know if I've said that as I intended.
Thank you for a great review
Sometimes you have to treat yourself for top quality Sheila, this is a top class restaurant
I kinda find 10/10 hard to justify for Veeraswamy; food great, presentation and service amazing, but it’s hard to justify charging £8 for a glass of coke, and £8 for 750ml water, even though I had no problem with £32 for the Chicken Makhani (I know you can ask them for free water, but most people won’t I’d imagine)
I understand your point, but I can tell you that this restaurant provides wonderful service ambience and most of all quality food
@@GaryEatscompletely fair, but if my dear old mum had ever found out I had spent that much I would have been yelled at loudly. 😉
Wow, another great video Gary thank you. It certainly did look amazing in every way including the price but you get what you pay for here I don’t mind that I was just hoping wishing that yard ordered some rice with it as it looked quite rich and creamy without any riceand I would’ve been interested to see what rice dishes they do it’s hard for me to have a curry without rice!
Loved your trip to Whitby. Keep up the brilliant work. I look forward to your next video.
Thanks so much. I'm going back to Whitby in a month or so time to review more places, I loved it 👍
(46) WOWZERS!!! The food looks EXACTLY like what you would get at the (closed years ago) Bengal Tiger restaurant in Wellington, New Zealand. Right down to the Navratan Korma, which was a real favorite of mine. I always had it with just plain, buttered naan. Heavenly; and of course, an "Irish Coffee" made with Drambuie for dessert. The Lamb Biryani was also killer; had to have the coconut, lime, cucumber and mint raiata on the side. DROOOL .... 😃
Wow. You've made me hungry again
Good review pricey for curry but you do get what you pay for in this case. Should have had rice though to go with it , well done
I agree rice was definitely needed
The sauces looked delectable. Rather expensive but it’s one to consider. Glad you enjoyed it ! 🤗
I totally agree!
Same Butter Chicken and breads..
Punjabi cuisine mate.
Please check out Kerala cuisine, Telugu cuisine and Tamil cuisine... Google search .. Do learn about South Indian immigrants cuisine too mate.

Your best video yet Gary. I was smiling watching it as much as you 😊
That’s really kind Paul thank you 🙏
Hello Gary a great presentation from UKs Number one Indian! I am now seventy-eight and I was taken to Veeraswamy by my parents on my fifteenth birthday in March 1961 and it was fantastic, but I was new to Indian food then and afterward went to Brian Rix Whitehall Theatre, Quite a treat! I went back to Veeraswamy with a group of friends for my thirtieth birthday, when I had done many Vindaloos, Kormas, Madras, Tandorris and one Phall at The Hussain in South Kensington, when I was at IC in the mid sixties. However, by 1976 I had grown up and Veeraswamy's was a very special treat and my two currys, a chicken main, vegetable curry and special rice was about eighteen pounds. Yes, expensive for the day but like you , I think the place is very special and the food I have had there was 100A1 as Lloyds would say. Stay safe and well love your presentations and style.
Hello. So glad you've also been and it's superb Rex!!
well jell…
absolutely 10/10…
looked fab…
savour the flavour…
just really appreciate your fantastic reviews.
keep uploading
I will do my best Alan. Thank you!
Wow!! Even the naan looked like it was right up there. Thanks for another great review 👍
The naan was expensive but nothing like what I’ve ever tasted before 👍
Totally agree with you Gary,me and my good lady dined there several years ago when we where in London to see a gig, the service and standards where extremely high ,it isn't the best Indian food I've ever had but it was up their . Top man Gary cheers pal.
Thank you Graham this was my best yet so I’d really appreciate your recommendations please 👍
Thank you Gary, still going, trying to catch up. Smiles from Cyprus. 🤗🤗👍👍
Thank you, Jacqui ❤️
@@GaryEats Goodness thank you so much for replying, best wishes to your Mum 💙💙
Hopefully the foods better than the picture framing!
Lol you noticed it
Hi Gary that looked good my only complaint was the price 8 quid for a naan bread i realise it's Michelin star but I couldn't justify it sorry.
Great review as always mate.👍🏻😁
Not a problem at all Rob. I tend to agree with you, the mark-up was too much
Hi Gary. Me and the wife are going to see a show in a couple of weeks in town. I think I'm going to book a table.😊 We were at our favourite local indian last Saturday, and our bill was £55. So, there's not much difference, really.
I promise you will not be disappointed be careful on the drinks as very expensive 👍
@@GaryEats Thankfully, we're not big drinkers anyway. Take care.
Hi Gary.. All booked for the 4th April, so very excited. We're definitely going to have what you ordered at the very least. @GaryEats
I went to that restaurant back in late 2021 for my wife's birthday as a surprise after given this as a recommendation from a friend.
It's great isn't it
@GaryEats yeah it's good I like it but too be honest I'm not too much into Michelin star restaurants as I prefer a bigger quantity of food but still which tastes good. My favourite is Mumbai Junction in Harrow have u heard of this as I really urge to give it a try especially their chilli paneer look it up and it's not as expensive
@Gary, thanks for exploring this! It is now on my wish list and very much looking forward to it!
Give it a go Nigel!
I love Indian food and that looked absolutely spot on Gary.
All the best ☕👍
Top man. Thank you 👍🏼
One day ill check out that place, but i'm in North America...
One day Bobby,it’s worth a visit
You can never guess Gary’s next move; Whitby to W1B!
Top review here, as per usual 🙏🏽✨
Thank you. I'm going back up north tomorrow!
