About Imli Restaurant

Winner of the 'Best Indian Restaurant in UK 2007 Award'- Cobra Good Curry Guide.

Created by the team behind Tamarind Restaurant, recently launched Imli stems from an excellent family tree, serving Indian tapas style food at affordable prices. Located in the heart of Soho, Imli is ideal for pre-and post theatre dinner as well as being perfect for just popping in for a quick bite any time of the day. The bold dining room is decked out in fiery colours, creams and dark woods, a relaxing backdrop to mirror the traditional-shakes-hands-with-modern-day ethos that seems to surround the restaurant. The innovative cooking of our head chef, Samir Sadekar, has led him to be nominated for the 'National Best dish of 2006' award by Restaurant Magazine.

Reviews of Imli Restaurant

Reviewed by: restaurantguides.co.uk
From the same team as the distinguished and one of only three Michelin starred Indian restaurants Tamarind, comes this ode to casual and modern subcontinental dining. The menu emphasises sharing so dishes are allocated small portions a la tapas style. Thankfully, prices are equally on the small side. Kick off with mushroom tikkki which comprises whole button mushrooms in crumb with a tomato garlic sauce and beautifully rendered. Fruit chaat though with seasonal fruits, sweet potato and socalled ginger dressing, is a total misfire submerged as it is in cumin. The seafood platter with peppered squid, fish cake and sesame garlic prawns works to much better effect with only a hint of spice thus leaving the individual fish flavours to come shining through. The chicken dhungar with its promised smoked tomato and fenugreek sauce delivers no such smoky taste and is instead akin to a generic chicken curry albeit competently executed. Feast your eyes then on the excellent dals (lentils) and the first rate rice and breads. Oh, and dont miss the fig and ginger ice cream. Overall, a decent entry on the contemporary Indian restaurant scene though it wont set the world on fire!

From the team behind the renowned Michelin-starred Tamarind, Imli has introduced London to an exciting new style of Indian cuisine. This fantastic Indian Tapas restaurant is perfect for either a quick lunch or a full-on feast. It's also the ideal way to introduce the kids to more exotic tastes. The special children's menu features lightly spiced dishes like Masala Grilled Chicken followed by Mango Sorbet. During school holidays kids can eat for half price, so bring the whole family for a taste sensation that won't break the bank!

Latest 5 reviews of Imli Restaurant

The 2 for 1 meal normally costs £26 at IMLI which is not reallly good vaue for the amount and variety of foods served so to discount it by 50% in the offfer just brings it down to a realistic price. The ambience and service was very good with all waiters and waitresses very pleasant and attentive.

Visited Imli yesterday for lunch. Have been several times before and always enjoyed it. This was just as good, in fact the entire experience was brilliant. The food was superb, delicious authentic Indian cooking but presented in a modern way with imagination. The service is so happy and pleasant they genuinely cheer you up, and the price was entirely reasonable. They deserve to do well, highly recommended.

Went to Imli for a team night out. The 2 4 1 offer was used. It was commented by everyone that the food was of a very high quality and that the waitress was first class. Think a number of the team will be returning, as will I.
