    Flavor and spice were perfect! We mixed and matched a la carte, had fish curry and lamb shank with various sides… both amazing. It was so good we thought about coming back here a second time during our trip.

    Very nice all-round restaurant. Made quite expensive by the exorbitant cost of the wine. They had a choice of two rosé wines which were nice but well over £60 the same applies to the beer

    When we think about celebrations, Quilon is always our first option and it never disappoints. From the starter to the dessert the quality and tastes of everything was outstanding, It might have been the best meal I have ever been served. Service was delightful and very professional. 10/10

    I've never had better Indian cooking, and the service is delightfully old-fashioned - perfect, discreet and respectful.
