London’s New Restaurant Openings

"Oorja is a big, beige-toned Indian restaurant on Shaftesbury Avenue. It’ll be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with dishes like the Oorja Morning Kebab—with chicken and lamb, saffron rice, grilled tomatoes, and a fried egg—braised beef short ribs, and railway lamb curry. There are express lunch and tiffin menus too." - team infatuation

Wow!! We dropped in without a booking at 6pm on a Saturday evening. What a delight!! There is ample seating on the ground floor and basement. There are aprons provided and come in handy when wearing a white shirt! They use a light system at the table to signal when you need table service. Staff are friendly and attentive and give good recommendations and information about food. Toilets downstairs are clean, but downstairs in basement. Not sure about accessibility for wheelchair users.

Very good set lunch option for £21. Surprising to find this nice Indian option in the very centre. Ingredients were fresh, meat & prawn cooked to the best tenderness, good flavouring too. The curry itself was alright. Con: - The main menu looks slightly overpriced. - it took half an hour for our food to come at a quiet time

Indian food is always the best deal in London I come to this recommended hidden gem restaurant It’s situated at one of the most crowded area in London Just prob few steps away from famous Harry Potter show in town. Staff are well trained and taken care of you Atmosphere is std, not luxury but good for gathering. Will be crowed most of the meal time Food were very authentic and local Portion is great and generous Tasty and well presented Curry Chicken and the Curry Lamb is highlight Love them Must reserve if u want a secure seats Walk in welcome but depends on luck

We did not have reservations but were seated right away... downstairs in the most beautiful setting. The food was absolutely delicious and the service from Monika and team was incredible! Highly recommend visiting Oorja if you are in London and looking for an excellent and memorable meal.

We had the best experience here for my friend’s birthday. Our waitress was called Lovely, and she really was lovely by name and nature. Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten, it was that good we ordered extra to take home for dinner tomorrow 🤣 and the cocktails were just incredible. My personal favourite was The Royal Fizz. Together with atmosphere, unreal! Can’t recommend enough.

Good spot for classic Indian food - loved the aloo chaat, the tutti frutti yoghurt bombs, the paneer tikka and the lamb kebabs. The biryanis with raita were okay, not the biggest fan. Service was good, definitely new and some teething issues, but no complains. The decor is quite nice and there’s a lot of space, which is nice to see. Overall good and reliable spot - they’re not reinventing Indian cuisine, but was good for the classics.

Great food, even better service! We were running late from wrangling tiny humans out of the house and the team were kind, forgiving and even went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable. The mains were delicious and I highly recommend their signature cocktails - be prepared if you’re lightweight though, no diluting happening here! Overall 10/10 experience and would come back again soon.
