Kutir

Housed in a handsome Chelsea townhouse just off Sloane Avenue, Kutir is a refined Indian restaurant offering an elegant escape from the bustle of London. Helmed by acclaimed Chef Rohit Ghai, the restaurant brings to life the spirit of India’s rich wildlife and royal expeditions through its delicately spiced, artfully presented dishes. The setting is intimate and opulent, featuring a series of stylishly restored dining rooms that enhance the sense of occasion. Diners can explore seasonal à la carte offerings or indulge in one of Kutir’s beautifully curated tasting menus, each course a reflection of the chef’s mastery in balancing heritage and innovation. A discreet yet attentive service style complements the romantic ambiance, ideal for special evenings and celebratory meals. Kutir has earned accolades for its immersive tasting menu experience, including the title of Restaurant of the Year at the British Restaurant Awards 2022. Reviews from SquareMeal highlight its “beautiful townhouse setting and polished, imaginative cooking,” while Hot Dinners praises the “punchy flavours, elegant plating, and sheer sophistication” of the cuisine. Chef Ghai’s inventive take on Indian classics—such as the partridge korma or lobster rasam—leaves a lasting impression on both seasoned diners and new visitors alike. Open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday, Kutir is a fine dining destination that blends Indian cuisine with a romantic ambiance and a focus on thoughtful presentation. Vegetarian menus are available, and the restaurant sometimes offers seasonal tasting specials.
