About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Neighbourhood gem

Our stunning London Indian Restaurant Lounge Bar offers you a unique take on classic Indian dishes using local and seasonal British produce. Close to Earl's Court and West Brompton stations, Flora Indica is a local restaurant with truly international leanings.

Across two floors of stylish and comfortable drinking and dining areas, our food and décor pays homage to the Scottish botanists who travelled India during the early Victorian era. Our modern-Indian menu emphasises delicately-spiced small plates and sometimes lavish main meals. We offer vegan, vegetarian and dairy-free options as standard.

Flora Indica showcases local London beers and houses a collection of special gins alongside fabulous cocktail and wines. Our ground floor Lounge Bar is perfect for after-work cocktails and casual all-day dining. The lower deck Engine Room is a beautiful formal dining space. The restaurant is available for private use to suit your news ways of working and playing, wha

Arrived as per their website and OpenTable offer bottomless brunch £35. Then a new menu arrived never seen on their website add bottomless champagne £72 or top of 2 course £35 false advertising both on their side and OpenTable glad I took my screenshots. Scottish guy friendly Tom will sort it from OpenTable well Tom get on with it. If we fell for their menu it would be dearer than Sette in Knightsbridge which is hard to believe for Earl’s Court not impressed with price menus at all a real let down when expecting a bottomless brunch.

We had delicious food and great drinks. Winford suggested the perfect drink pairings to the several rounds of food. I would highly recommend going to Flora Indica.

They changed their menu. The choices are very limited and it’s confusing. There are much better Indian places close by. Thali, Bombay Brasserie, Noor Jahan..

Excellent food. Pushy service trying to upsell products by serving wine in large amounts to finish the bottle or pushing for champagne pre-dinner or desserts to share without requesting and after saying that we didnt not want it.

The food I had was really nice, but the prices on the menu posted on Flora Indica’s website were badly out of date. A meal for which, when I booked, I had initially expected to pay around £80 - £85 including drinks and service actually came to almost £120. Please update the website to reflect current prices and dishes/wines.

It all started v well - waiter was amazing & we were v excited for our meal…. The wine arrived & was gorgeous. Then we waited & waited. Over an hour went by with no sign of our food. Finally when we were about to give up starters arrived followed by mains & have to say the flavours were really delicious. Perhaps they had an issue in kitchen…. Such a shame as could have been an excellent meal had it arrived before we were wanting to eat the table!
