    The usual high standard of food at the Brilliant my favourite Indian restaurant, however the service still good is slower than we have experienced in the past. This may have something to do with the Diwali celebrations that evening. Will certainly be going again.

    Lamb was so tender and full of flavour. Everything we ate was amazing. Great to see so many families eating together.

    Once again as I returned to London, my first choice is to go to The Brilliant. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. I recommend the biryani, any version and the tandoor lamp chops are a favorite. You cant go wrong visiting this delightful local hot spot!

    Superb food and service - only 2nd time at Brilliant, but when we can we most certainly will return again and again. A real pleasure to meet Dipna’s father Gulu - such a gentleman. A fantastic evening. Thank you Gulu, Dipna, Shanker & the whole team.

    Exquisite dishes, divine flavours. The only problem, is that one cannot pick a favourite because they're all absolutely fantastic. Thank you, Dipna!

    We had a table for 6 on Friday night - dinner with friends . It was stunning ; The welcome , the service , the food was so tasty and all quality ingredience. The best Indian food we all have ever enjoyed. The help with the menu and the genuine level of hospitality and care was extraordinary. Each and every dish was distinctive in taste …. Unlike many Indian restaurants where all the dishes taste so similar. It is a family business ... now fifty years old , started by Gulu Anand when he was nineteen years old ,taught by his father . Gulu was running restaurant with his son Shanker and his daughter ( a hands in celebrity chef ) and several excellent and professional waiting team on the evening and their attention to guests was remarkable. They all really care and our rightly proud of what they do but with huge humility. We had a Chablis and Pinot Noir to wash our food down with which were very fairly priced indeed . Our first time to eat there but we will certainly be back . We were also very impressed by the value for money . I certainly would recommend it !!
