About Chutney Mary

On St James's St in London, Chutney Mary serves regional Indian dishes in a room with a bar and sepia etching decor. Starters include samosas, with a venison version appearing as a recurring option, and tandoori lamb chops also feature on the menu. Butter chicken stands out among the mains, served with garlic naan, and a green curry runs alongside it. The bar pours cocktails such as mojito pitchers and a mango chilli daiquiri. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than fixed bookings, though the room fills up and staff seat guests at their tables promptly once a spot opens.

Customer Review Summary

Butter chicken is the dish reviewers return to most, called succulent and sublime, with one diner placing it above any Indian meal in Houston, India, or elsewhere in London. Close behind are the tandoori lamb chops, the lamb shank, and the gosht biryani, along with starters such as the venison samosa, the pomegranate samosas, the artichoke, and chilli glazed paneer tikka. Garlic naan and the green curry also draw mentions. Service is praised repeatedly as attentive and friendly, and one diner describes a waiter replacing a disappointing side dish and removing it from the bill. A birthday table also received a small celebratory gesture.

Everything was succulent and delicious. Cocktails were nice, I had a mango chilli daiquiri. Overall: 9/10 Amazing meal, worth every penny”

    “Upmarket Indian in a smart setting. The food is well executed - the green curry and dal were good, fresh naan, neat little starter plates. Nothing to complain about on the plate. The catch is the price: it's fine, but not "this expensive" fine. Pleasant for a one-off, though I left feeling the bill outpaced the experience.”

    “Don't be fooled by the aesthetics. Behind the beautiful lights and decent flavors lies a predatory pricing model that is insulting to a discerning palate. It’s an overhyped trap where the bill feels like a work of fiction. While the food is fine, it’s nowhere near the 'elite' level they charge for. Calling it 'unnecessarily expensive' is an understatement; it’s a total lack of respect for the customer's intelligence. Definitely not a place for those who value authenticity over artifice”
