We visited Veeraswamy, the UKīs oldest Indian restaurant, open since 1926. It holds 1 Michelin star and I was excited to compare it to Quilon.
The restaurant is located on the mezzanine floor of Victory House at Regent Street. The flag is from the restaurant.

The restaurant is furnished classical.

They also have a nice private dining room.

They offer a pre-thearte menu which is relative cheap with 35 GBP. We took it as it offered dishes we wanted to try anyway.
First course: Lentil soup (unadapted on the menu since 1926):

I took Paneer (Indian cottage cheese) in an onion and tomato sauce as main course, the bread I ordered additional.


GF ordered Seabass fillets marinated with royal cumin and mint, wrapped in banana leaf and baked.


We liked the Paneer more as the fish was a little bit bland without real sauce.
Dessert were ice.


The cooking was classical and fine. Personally I liked my meal at Quilon more, as I found the food more "fancy". Nevertheless itīs a good restaurant.
