Trishna (Marylebone)

• The atmosphere left something to be desired with a far more low energy vibe than its bustling big sister Bombay restaurant
• The quail was lightly fried with hearty green beans and tomatoes with lots of pepper and curry leaves
• The bite size morsels of quail were tender on the inside and deliciously crispy
• The chaat was made with mix of chickpeas
• Yogurt and sweet tamarind sauce with crunchy sev sprinkled on top
• We then proceeded to order the grilled marinated Lamb Chops which were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
• The Haryali Bream was a bit of a let down though
• We also had some Hyderabadi Daal and stir fried Okra with a selection of Naan breads all of which went down very well
• Offers real value for money its was delicious and resonable
• The service was of a very high standard with staff happy to substitute dishes from the vegetarian tasting menu if required
• Finally out of the rain we take a seat in this calm restaurant with pale grey walls and exposed brick work
• The suitably authentic music was also very relaxing
• Trishna London is the sister restaurant to Trishna in Mumbai which has fantastic reviews
• We decided on the set menu with matching wine flight
• Two neatly folded poppadoms shortly arrived at the table with some mango sauce and tomato chutney
• Both of which were delicately spiced and rich in flavour
• The first courses that were to come out far exceeded my expectations
• It's pretty rare that the food is authentically Indian and of a good enough quality to make you want to come back again and again
• The food preparations taste and feel truly authentic albeit it with some continental influences
• Everything is of the highest quality and excellently presented
• The prices are in line with what you would expect at any high end restaurant in the marylebone area but its worth every pound
• I only tried a couple of the cocktails which complemented the food very well and were of the same quality
• The Michelin guide is a safe place to consult when looking for somewhere to eat out
• Could have done with a little more acidity or even a dollop of cooling yoghurt
• Whilst there were satisfied noises coming from around the table
• The slight saving grace was the sommelier&rsquo
• Trishna delivers anything on a par with that served in Dabbous
• Nice place with a really good food
• Any fleeting worries about blogger ethics were quietly batted aside I don't care if you think I'm irreversibly compromising my integrity
• All the usual caveats apply to a press invite meal the service was probably a bit more attentive
• We had the best table in the house
• There was one studded with dried shrimp
• The bright green coriander and chilli was just extraordinary
• What's the best thing to do on a Sunday
• This was a curry with a difference
• The restaurant has recently been refurbished and features an informal dining room with blue brick walls
• There were three different flavours of the crispy nibbles which were served with a spicy dip and a mango chutney
• Tandoori lamb chops with chilli and ginger
• Trishna specialises in seafood so these were bound to be good
• Hariyali Bream with green chilli
• The side dish of tomato was the perfect woody tasting accompaniment
• Salmon tikka with a dill raita
• Lightly cooked salmon with a beautiful tikka marinade
• The middle one was slightly sweet which I'm not keen on in a bread
• The neighbourhood of Marylebone is gorgeous too and there are plenty of foodie finds along the streets
• The room layout is the same though the lighting has changed
• Duck chaat was a pleasant starter
• Fried and spicy squid (chipirones) and samphire had tender squid and was an unusual and enjoyable dish (13/20)
• 10 for two very small samosas is hardly a bargain (12/20)
• Better was bream marinated with coriander and green chilli before being cooked in the tandoor
• While the tomato salad was an effective accompaniment (comfortably 14/20)
• Though this was not a patch on the best biryani that I have eaten in India (13/20)
• Tiger prawns with Keralan spices and a coconut based sauce was enjoyable enough
• The dish of the night for me was a side dish
• Instead the okra was firm and dry
• Mango cream and mango chutney (13/20) and chocolate cake with cashews and peanut jiggery ice cream
• I can say with certainty that Trishna is one of my favourite restaurants in London
• The thing that really sets Trishna apart from it's Indian rivals is that the meal will never land excessively heavily on your stomach
• The lightness of the food is complimented by tapas esque portion sizes
• ) Soft Shell Crab served with white crab chutney (pictured)
• Grilled and served with cucumber and Indian mustard (pictured)
• Equally magnificent are the Gilafi Duck sheekh kebab
• T overwhelmed by was the Moplah Seafood Biriyani
• That is probably because I generally prefer Biriyani to be concocted with chicken anyway
• A yoghurt based dish with rubarb (pictured)
• Perhaps the only real pitfall of Trishna is the price &ndash
• The restaurant is decked with marble
• Oak and glass which is manipulated into clean smooth surfaces and edges
• Instead the candle lit table and grey hues on the wall are more energising than stuffy
• In this way Trishna is the setting for a casual
• Chilled out gathering with the back drop of a sociable buzz
• T lack in atmosphere even with a few diners around
• Their dishes are unconventional but definitely appetising
• Trishna serves the best potato chaat I&rsquo
• T a high end restaurant yet the prices are more on the steep side of things
• The restaurant specialises in seafood so there are lots of options
• Ve tasted the food it is evident why
• The restaurant has a peaceful ambience with whitewashed walls and bronze poles hang vintage Indian prints
• The furniture is decadent rosewood and the service is fit for a Maharaja
• We began our meal with yummy mocktails (virgin mojito
• We ordered the Trishna seafood salad with haldi chipirones
• Each bite was refined and delectable and the amount of seafood on the plate was very generous
• The paneer tikka looked like a piece of art but could have done with a tad more seasoning the taste did not really match the appearance
• The Haryali bream is a favourite of mine
• The fish melts in your mouth with flavours of chilli and coriander that are complemented by the smoked tomato kachumber (salsa)
• The starters were excellent and our expectations were high for the main courses
• The Andhra curry was made of succulent lamb but wasn&rsquo
• What WAS really special was the Kerala jheenga (prawn) curry
• The tiger prawns were big and juicy and the sauce was extremely moreish I just couldn&rsquo
• The aam malai dish was a mango cream slice served with fresh mangoes and a raw mango chutney
• I also tried the strawberry falooda which is a dish of strawberry ice cream on a bed of vermicelli and fresh strawberries
• A rather nice surprise at the end of the meal were white chocolates flavoured with Paan an indian betel nut tobacco flavouring which is eaten after meals
• I think Trishna is priced reasonably
• The tasting menus are between £
• 50 70 per person and the lunch bites menu is between £
• The food at Trishna was excellent as far as Michelin starred Indian restaurants go
• S a shame that the game is not halal because some of the dishes looked really interesting
• The lunch menu is particularly good value for money and my mum who is always critical about Indian restaurant food (because she is an amazing cook herself) loved it so I will definitely be going back
• They had taken the flavours from the Indian cuisine and fused them with European tastes
• All in all a decent good experience with very good food
• Just be careful if you are not into spicy food
• That comes with a really good yogurt sauce to sooth it
• The tandoori lamb chops are delicious as well as the tandoori baby chicken with lemon
• Good cocktails and an affordable lunch deal this is a Michelin star restaurant that doesn't rip you off
• The service is good too attentive but not overbearing
• The waiters were excellent and it was nice for once not to be informed of the time they want you in and out
• Our orders were very similar to the Express Lunch menu
• So it made sense to go with that instead
• The express lunch menu was just under £
• It also comes with a glass of wine
• Everything else was absolutely fine as well but these were significantly fantastic
• 1/2 a point off for service while staff was friendly and knowledgeable
• The price is very reasonable even without the offer and both the service and the cooking is a massive step up to your local Indian curry joint
• That I am not too sure as it is hard to compare Asian to European cuisine
• The service was impeccable
• I ordered a total of 6 dishes which are the following
• I was very pleased with the amount of food that arrived
• I have to say I was expecting more for a Michelin stared restaurant
• Very juicy and moist inside infused with a tandoori flavour a very good piece of meat here
• The paneer was underwhelming but the samosa chaat was light
• The lamb curry was bland and uninspiring
• The seafood biryani was cooked well but nothing outstanding
• I rounded a nice meal off with a well made Kheer with Kufi
• I was expecting better from the decor and the service was rather average for a one star Michelin
• Booking was required and we were shown to out table at 1.45pm straight away
• Each meal was introduced when brought to the table as standard by a restaurant with a Michelin Star
• The total bill was under £
• 70 which is very good considering it is a Michelin starred restaurant
• I think the lunch bites menu was great value and food was filling
• Our only problem was we went with our eyes bigger than our stomachs so over ordered
• Standout dishes were definitely the lamb tandoori and the Dorset brown crap
• I love the concept of seafood and Indian food but our favourite dishes at Trishna were similar to the ones they have at Gymkhana
• The service was very weak on the night that we were there
• Our waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful
• Maybe they were under staffed or perhaps service was slower because there was a large party of around fifteen people dining there on that evening
• You know that an Indian restaurant is authentic when there are plenty of Indian families dining there
• The slight difference with the two restaurants is that Gymkhana focuses more on meat and game
• Didnt have a reservation but was accomodated for an hour
• Before there was 2016 critics&rsquo
• The Sethi family are legends in London
• Their first love though is Indian food
• Dare I say not only the restaurant was good but even worth the money
• You could spend anywhere between 20 100 pounds with the different menu options
• The portion size are very generous
• Amazing food with coastal being the USP but at the same time Nariyal Lamb was superb too apart from the fish curry
• The entire experience was a culinary joy indeed
• Chef Sajeev Nair is a star &
• The ambience was good with old photos about india hanging on the walls
• Starters ordered the veg sheek kebab which was very soft as expected
• Papad and sabudana chips which were good with the tamarind chutney
• The drinks ordered the litchi with mint and mix of some more fruits
• Main course was simple with paneer Chettinad and Hyderabadi yellow dal with garlic naan
• The paneer Chettinad was one of the best I have had in recent memory
• Amazing and authentic taste of India we have tried the lamp chops and it was succulent and tasty
• Ordered biryani and dal along with breads few days back
• Must say the food is good and service staff is also good
• S a tiny place with good and courteous staff
• The staff recommended the potato Bel Puri starter which was delightful
• We followed up with a paneer dosa and aubergine curry with lemon rice
• Everything was perfectly cooked and tasted wonderful
• Price great and it is ideally situated for the Apollo
