When you come to Opheem, you get an insight into the inner workings of my mind. We’re striving to push the boundaries with Indian flavours, but with cooking techniques from all over the world, some traditional, and some very modern. At Opheem, I’ll be using the same paints as I’ve always done, to create a very different picture, on a very, very different canvas. Why? Because to evolve and adapt is what makes us human, and cooking is what sets us apart from the animals.

    What a fabulous meal and overall experience only let down by the state of the approach and exterior of the building.

    To start with i have to say the food was superb and I guess that's why we go to these places. A couple of of minor things that may influence others, we had to wait a while for one of our drinks in the lounge, the chap who took our order came back 5 mins later asking exactly what we wanted, we told him and it still didn't turn up until someone else came to our table. Secondly out first bill was for £80000, now this place is good but not that good! It was quite funny and had no negative impact on out evening.

    Amazing food and some lovely drink choices. An excellent experience overall. We had the five course tasting menu and thoroughly enjoyed everything. One would have to have a large appetite to consider the ten course tasting menu in my opinion. Not inexpensive but worth every penny for the service and the hard work the chefs had put in to produce outstanding plates.

    Outstanding, one of the best restaurants I have ever visited. The food was fantastic and the staff very attentive and friendly and made it a memorable evening. We were celebrating two birthdays and this certainly made it special. Excellent all round!

    Everything about our visit to Opheem was stunning. The staff were brilliant, the service was impeccable and the food was amazing. We had the 5 course tasting menu but wish we had had the 10!! Will definitely be coming back. The flavours they pack into every course, including the smallest amuse bouche, is astounding. I wish I was more eloquent as I don’t feel my words can do it justice. One of the best meals of our lives. Can’t wait to go back

    Visiting Opheem is a true gastronomical experience. Overall we enjoyed the 10 course tasting menu which included a number of pre-meal amuse -bouche tasters. The attention to detail is incredible and the work that goes in to presentation is outstanding as you would expect of a Michelin star venue. Service is first class and they very kindly tweaked some of the course selections due to food allergies. Although most of the courses were a taste sensation we found 3 courses (monk fish/ bread/ hoggett) something of a miss which was disappointing. This may be down to individual tastes however we were aligned on what worked and what didn’t. Given the price point I couldn’t say overall this was good value although was something we will never forget.
