Where do I begin? The entire experience at Kanishka was well worth the wait. I made a reservation in February for Remembrance Weekend. Arriving slightly ahead of our 7 p.m. booking, we were shown to our table, where our host provided a comprehensive overview of the evening’s proceedings. Having selected the tasting menu with wine pairings, we found the flavours exceptional; it is arguably the finest dining experience we have encountered. From front-of-house staff and hosts to the chefs—indeed, all personnel—thank you for making our visit to Kanishka truly memorable.

Warm welcome, good explanation of menus. Food was exceptional. Amuse bouche was delicious. Chicken pie and scallops were both delicious. Lobster platter and fallow venison were utterly delightful. Baked alaska and chocolate dessert, along with one bite palate cleanser were perfect. Special mention of the cocktails. The pineapple punch was warming and delightful. My partners birthday they brought a dessert with happy birthday written on. Fab suprise

We chose several bottles of reasonably priced white wine each time being told that they didn’t have them but they did have the really high priced options. The process was repeated on the red wines. They were determined to upsell us, not to make us happy. The food was ok but the experience was ruined by that point.

We had a lovely evening at the flavours of Rajasthan, all the food and flavours were amazing. Service and ambience was as expected of a meal at Kanishka. Great to have a chat with Atul. Would highly recommend a visit.

FAQs

Yes, Kanishka is a strong choice for date night, with several guests celebrating anniversaries or Valentine’s over tasting menus, wine pairings and a warm, attentive atmosphere.

Yes, Kanishka is welcoming to families: it offers a children's menu and guests report staff happily accommodating children.

Kanishka is often lively at peak service, reviewers note sell‑out evenings and fully booked tables, while the downstairs dining room and some quieter visits feel more relaxed and intimate.

Kanishka feels refined and warm, a Mayfair fine‑dining room led by Michelin‑star Chef Atul Kochhar, with attentive service and a welcoming, gently buzzing atmosphere; the downstairs dining room is a notably quieter option.

Smart casual is the guide, polished but relaxed, so aim for neat, well‑presented clothes rather than formal evening wear to suit Kanishka’s Mayfair fine‑dining setting.
