Colonel Saab, High Holborn

I have been to Colonel Saab on several occasions (both, the Holborn and Trafalgar Square branch) and I absolutely love everything about this place. The food, service and ambience is simply incredible. I recently hosted a private party for about 50 people and it was spectacular. Very impressed with the service and food and how they managed all the guests. Would 100% recommend to everyone. A few things to note for health and safety - if you have a cake discuss bringing/using a knife beforehand, they do not allow sparkler or firework candles as it is a closed space, serving and packing of cakes also should be discussed prior. Overall, Very pleased! All my guests left happy!

Amazing food, flavour and recipe. Very authentic with flavour. Loved the lobster, lamb chops were divine. Chicken ghee roast was spicy and delicious. The rasmalai milk cake didn’t disappoint. Candacy and the rest of the team were very welcoming. Highly recommend!

We came for a lovely dinner this evening. We were unsure what what to order, but our waiter Yash made some recommendations, and all . I can say is.........WOW. the food was amazing, and the portion size was good. Will definitely be revisiting with family.x

Pakash was a great server, answered all of our questions about the menu and drinks. We had non veg tasking menu that was amazing. This place is highly recommended.

I recently celebrated my birthday at Colonel Saab with a small group of friends, and it was an unforgettable experience. The interior is absolutely stunning—every corner is thoughtfully decorated, with majestic chandeliers adding a touch of grandeur. It’s truly a feast for the eyes and creates the perfect setting for a special occasion. The food was equally impressive. As a fan of spicy dishes, I was delighted with the Chicken Chettinad—the spice level was spot on, delivering a satisfying heat without overpowering the rich curry flavors. Every dish we tried was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of authentic taste. To top it off, the desserts were mouthwatering and the perfect way to end the evening on a sweet note. I highly recommend Colonel Saab for anyone looking for an elegant dining experience with incredible food and ambiance. Can’t wait to return!

Amazing service and even better food. I highly recommend their tasting menu as it gives you the opportunity to try out more than one item which is always recommended with Indian cuisine. I paired my tasting with their cocktail tasting menu and wow!! Each drink was carefully curated and paired to the meal you are having. The service was a little slow (it took about an hour for my friend to get her meal) but after she got it, it was a fantastic Dish! I give it 4 stars because I was doing the tasting menu and that may have impacted the timing on her dish and that was not effectively communicated to us. We will definitely be back!

Loved the decor inside the restaurant. A lot of work has certainly gone into the photos on the wall as well the lighting. When it comes to food, it does not disappoint! Absolutely mind blowing. Their curries are made with so much flavour that you can't help but order more of it. Their kulcha and Malabar parantha was equally outstanding. They've got some good selection of cocktails although I didn't try them. Highly recommend.

If you are looking for a true Indian cuisine with outstanding service and delicious food, then this is your place. Beautiful decor and a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you enter. The service here is top notch. Started with the Kori Tepmu (a twist to chicken wings) boneless chicken marinated to perfection and served with a slightly spicy sauce, makes this a great starter. Followed by fish tikka where the fish was perfectly cooked. The butter chicken was the perfect choice to share. The creamy sauce with a little spice and chicken that was cooked to the right temperature, overall made a delicious entree. But what made the experience so special was the staff. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. Hands down one of the best Indian food experiences I’ve had in London.
