A Timeless London Icon of Indian Fine Dining
Established in 1926 and situated on the prestigious Regent Street, Veeraswamy stands as London’s oldest surviving Indian restaurant. With nearly a century of history, this Michelin-starred institution has earned its place as a standard bearer for Indian cuisine, combining rich culinary heritage with contemporary finesse.
The first-floor dining room offers stunning views of Regent Street, enhanced by luxuriously ornate interiors that pay homage to its regal past. The Regency Room, adorned with a cabinet of artefacts and Maharajah-era attire, captures the essence of eclectic luxury, setting the stage for a truly memorable dining experience.
The menu is a journey through India’s royal palaces, from the flavours of Hyderabadi and Mughal traditions to modern innovations crafted by MW Eat. Signature dishes include the Shahi Patalia Raan, a slow-braised lamb shank wrapped in golden puff pastry, served with a bone marrow, saffron, and rose-infused sauce—a dish inspired by the southeastern Punjabi palaces. Slow-cooked classics like Kashmiri Rogan Josh, fragrant with saffron and cockscomb flower, share the spotlight with delicately grilled seafood, royal biryanis, and curries.
Complementing the cuisine is a pioneering wine list, expertly curated to pair with the nuanced spicing of Indian dishes. A playful range of Indian-inspired cocktails adds to the dining experience, offering a perfect blend of tradition and innovation.
Veeraswamy invites guests to indulge in a culinary experience steeped in history and opulence, making every visit a celebration of India’s rich gastronomic legacy.
