"Like finding a tenner in a pair of jeans, a meal at Bibi feels like making the ultimate discovery. On a corner just seconds away from the chaos of Oxford Street, this Indian spot is small but significant. There’s a set menu of incredible dishes, from melt-in-your-mouth orkney scallop in a tangy lemonade dressing, to tender grilled chicken in a cashew and yoghurt whey sauce. We could also gush about the counter seating or the fun mocktails, but you’ll return for the sensational food." - rianne shlebak
"London has an excellent Indian restaurant scene. But Bibi is something special. Every dish at this Mayfair spot is exciting and innovative. The grilled Lahori chicken in a creamy cashew and yoghurt whey sauce might seem like the star of the show, only to have the raw Orkney scallop in lemonade dressing arrive and make you feel things you didn’t think you could feel for a mollusc. The set menus will surprise people who think they’ve tried it all and please literally everyone. When you’re sat in the warm dining room, with arched mirrors, intimate booths, and comfortable counter stools, there’s no way you’ll be able to pick a favourite until you’ve tried everything." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"Every dish on the tasting menu at Bibi, a high-end Mayfair spot, is exciting and innovative. Grilled Lahori chicken is so tender and creamy, you’d think it was the star of the show, only to have the raw Orkney scallop in a lemonade dressing make you feel things you’ve never felt for a mollusc. The counter is perfect for date night, but if you manage to bag one of the booths for you and a couple of friends, then you’re winning. This is one of our highest-rated restaurants for a reason." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"Hidden in plain sight on a corner just seconds away from the chaos of Oxford Street, Bibi is small but significant, with a set menu of incredibly designed Indian dishes. There’s the raw Devon scallop in a tangy lemonade dressing, and tender grilled chicken in a cashew and yoghurt whey sauce that you’ll want to lick off the plate. We could also gush about the counter seating or the drinks, but the reason you should come—and the reason you’ll definitely return—is for the sensational food." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"Bibi isn’t just the best Indian restaurant in London, it’s one of the best restaurants in London, full stop. Every dish at this high-end Mayfair spot is exciting and innovative, so naturally getting a seat here was an extreme sport when the place first opened back in 2021. But now, you can get lucky with a 7pm dinner slot a couple of days in advance, or a weekend lunch." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
