PUNCH

Great new Indo-Brit restaurant! Definitely check it out! We ended up here on a date night right before a show and asked for a quick service and despite the place being posh, they were happy to help us make sure we get to the show on time. Thank you, Kenny!!! Here is the review: FOOD: The food was excellent from the samosa crushed in a yogurt foam, to scotch egg, to truffle infused gin martinis to the main course with biriyani. The highlight of the meal was the black cod with a fresh vegetable chutney and chickpeas, combining the soft flakes of the fish with a beautiful combination of flavours. But make sure to save some space for desert—their sticky pudding steals the show hands down. SERVICE: The service was exceptional: precise, kind, and attentive. We waited very little and every server knew the dishes and was happy to make recommendations. We had 3 plate switches in our short time at the shop because the restaurant really wanted us to make sure we don’t mix the flavours and enjoy each dish to the fullest. Special shoutout to Kenny who has made this date night wonderful! ATMO This restaurant was much more elevated than I expected z absolutely beautiful construction and design inside and a magnificent wine selection, this place really impressed.

My friend and I dined here on February 1st and enjoyed their brunch menu. The interior is beautiful and service was professional and attentive. We did end up ordering a lot of food, just because we wanted to try a little bit of everything. For drinks, I ordered the madras mary which was delicious!! The other drink picture, which I’m unsure the name, was not off the brunch menu drinks. To start we shared the Yogurt Parfait while we waited for our mains. I ended up with the smoked salmon eggs benedict, which is what I typically order and wish I ordered something with more Indian inspired flavours. The hollandaise sauce could have had more Indian flavours to help with the dish. My friend ordered the Eggs Kejriwal with a side of breakfast potatoes, which was delicious! To end the meal, we shared the Bread & Butter Pudding French Toast and enjoyed their Masala chai. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and highly recommend it if you’re in the area.

It’s a beautiful and elegant restaurant…nestled with ambience and good food and exceptional service. It’s a perfect date place, tried Brioche with mango pickle butter which was a perfect combination and took me to my childhood, the next dish was Hiramasa Crudo which was an exceptional dish (must try), Scotch egg is yet another delicious culinary creation with perfect fusion of British and indian fusion…the curry ketchup is out of the world. Talking about the mains Beef Wellington was just perfect, the cook was perfect and the puff pastry was soo good, was disappointed with Biryani but Miss Misaki gave us the exceptional service and made our experience worth while. Cocktails 🍸 are great and the star of the experience was tableside Chai -Chocolate Mousse and it captivated the whole experience. Thankyou BOH and FOH making the experience memorable, kudos to Punch team! Look forward to dine again.

The lamp chops stole the show!!! Perfectly seasoned and tenderly cooked. I was licking every morsel off the bones and stealing more from my friend’s plate haha. I was staying at Le Germain hotel and spontaneously went to Punch for late dinner. Service was fast and my server was wonderful. I didn’t find their popular slaw salad or sausage roll to be exceptional - the flavours were interesting but I likely wouldn’t order again. But the large plates were where they shine!! The mussels and lamp chops were bursting with flavour. I’m going to be dreaming about them for a while. I was super excited to order the toffee pudding but they were out, so I’ll have to go back again! This spot is definitely worth checking out for an elevated dining experience.

Absolutely blown away by this dining experience. The service is truly out of this world. My friend took me here for my birthday, and they made me feel so special, including bringing out complimentary sparkling wine, singing happy birthday, and serving dessert with a candle. The food was incredible. Particular highlights for me were the Steak Tartare and the Butter Chicken Pot Pie. The cocktails are also delicious and quite reasonably priced! Strongly recommend for a romantic date night or an elevated evening with friends.

I had my "Bridesmaids Proposal" dinner hosted at PUNCH a few nights ago, and I just had to leave a glowing review for the exceptional, kind, and attentive service by our server Misaki and the rest of the team. From the moment we arrived, service was warm and welcoming. I requested a larger table in advance for our group of 5 to have space for my girls’ gifts, and this was graciously accommodated. We were treated to complimentary bubbly to celebrate the special occasion, told we had the table for as long as we wanted (on a busy Saturday night), and surprised further with complimentary masala chai for the table following our delicious meal! (My friend still wishes she could have gotten the house recipe for the chai, lol) Our group shared several appetizers, including the BRIOCHE LOAF with mango butter, the SCOTCH EGG with curried ketchup, and the DELHI SAMOSAS full of flavor (tamarind chutney) and a satisfying chickpea curry. For mains, my one friend ordered the GINGER GLAZED BLACK COD and said it was some of the best fish she’s had in a while; it melts in your mouth. Another friend ordered the BUTTER CHICKEN POT PIE — although visually a smaller dish, it was nonetheless filling considering how heavy and creamy butter chicken typically is. My sister decided on the DUM PUKHT CHICKEN BIRYANI, which arrived beautifully in a painted clay pot sealed with a crusted dough lid. The biryani itself was aromatic with saffron, ghee, fried onion, and paired with raita, a yogurt-based side dish, that played well with the warm, cozy spice flavors in the biryani. This dish was certainly large enough to share with the table. As for myself, I had my eyes set on the BEEF WELLINGTON for weeks since first making the reservation, and it absolutely did not disappoint. A mouthwatering tenderloin cooked medium rare wrapped in mushroom, Swiss chard, and prosciutto, dressed with a curry-inspired jus. By this point, I was so wrapped up in the chatty buzz of the evening with my bridesmaids to appreciate the dish fully, but I would go back to PUNCH just for the Beef Wellington alone! For dessert, we shared the GULAB JAMUN (“Orange and Pistachio Sphere”), STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING (soooo good), and the CHOCOLATE MOUSSE — which Misaki graciously presented table-side although my girls were a little wrapped up in the excitement of opening their bridesmaids gift boxes at that particular moment. Thank you again, Misaki. We sadly did not get around to trying any of the cocktails this time around, which simply means I have a reason to come back. Overall — WOW, what a fantastic experience! My girls were raving throughout the night, and day after, on the authenticity of the flavors and music (my friends are South Asian, for context), elegant decor, romantic ambiance, and 5-star service. If someone has a special occasion to celebrate, I definitely know where I’ll be sending them. :)

PUNCH is a hit! What a sublime experience. From impeccable interior decor to thoughtful service, and most importantly delicious food, my experience at PUNCH was one to remember. The room itself is stunning and very tastefully decorated. High ceilings, luxurious & comfortable seating, and lots of rich wood finishes - it really is a sight to see. The service was fantastic, our server Carl was a gem and really knew his stuff. The cocktails were delicious and incorporated Indian spices in fun & unexpected ways. The food is to die for! The sausage roll was my favourite, perfectly flaky and buttery pastry stuffed with rich and decadent duck - a must-try. The samosa was an absolute flavour bomb and how can you not love a butter chicken pot pie! The mishkaki was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy but infused with a delicious smokey flavour. The Mussels Rassa were also a stand-out - rich and delicious coconut cream sauce with plenty of ginger for a nice tangy hit, plus some freshly baked sourdough to sop up the leftover sauce. I came in with high expectations, and s PUNCH managed to meet and exceed them - would easily recommend to anyone!!!

Had a great meal here last weekend. The chef has done a great job infusing Indian spices subtly into British classics such as the beef wellington with cashew puree, scotch eggs with kebab coating & house-made masala ketchup and sticky toffee pudding with cardamom ice cream, just chef’s kiss. The Anika no.5 and Southhall sour are must try drinks. Special mention for the masala chai, it is like a warm hug on a winter’s day. Absolutely loved it.
