Indian Restaurant near Covent Garden
Fine Indian dining 5 minutes' walk from Covent Garden station, close to the Royal Opera House.
Covent Garden is one of London's great evenings out - the piazza, the street performers, the Royal Opera House and a theatre around every corner. A short walk from all of it, our Charing Cross dining room offers the calm, considered Indian cooking that has served the West End since 1960.
You will find us on Charing Cross Road, a minute from Leicester Square tube and an easy stroll from Covent Garden and the Royal Opera House. It makes us a natural choice whether you are heading to a performance, wandering back from the market or simply looking for a proper dinner in the heart of the West End.
The kitchen is Punjabi tandoor, Mughlai slow braises and refined North Indian dishes, cooked with the quiet precision that defines the Maharaja standard. Open daily from noon to midnight, with a pre-theatre menu from £27 for the evenings you have somewhere to be.
Covent Garden is theatreland as much as it is the market. The London Coliseum on St Martin's Lane, home of English National Opera, is the nearest big house to us, with the Royal Opera House and the theatres of Drury Lane and the Strand a little further on. Book a table before the show and tell us your curtain time; see our guide to dinner near West End theatres for more.
