"We had made a reservation at The Wilderness a while back, but unfortunately our plans were disrupted by COVID. Finally, we were able to visit for lunch on Saturday, and it was definitely worth the wait. We chose the ten-course tasting menu along with a couple of glasses of their 'hacked' wines. As soon as we sat down, we were greeted with a complimentary glass of Prosecco and water, and our meal began. The variety of dishes was outstanding; from crispy pig cheek with apricot gel, to steak tartare, turbot, and mackerel. Standout dishes included a delicious beetroot ice-cream with a rich ajoblanco, and a fantastic mushroom and 'bread pudding' that was like a gourmet version of mushrooms on toast. The service was excellent, each course was tasty, and the wines, especially the Chardonnay 2.0 and the Vermouth, were top-notch. While the meal was on the pricier side, the quality of the food, service, ambiance, and music made it all worthwhile."

"It is difficult to find traditional Indian restaurants with clear vegan options, but this restaurant does. This is not obvious on the website menu, but is when you are in the restaurant. You can bring alcoholic drinks that make the food cheap. I was a few times and it was busy this last Saturday night visit, so it is iworth booking. The staff is efficient and the food is really delicious."

"that was my first trip to zindiyas on recommendation of a friend. we chose the afternoon, which was a really good choice. first, the facility of the restaurant was simply perfect together with the beautiful Indian detailing on the tables, chairs, walls etc. service was good, although at a point we had 3 people coming and wondering if everything was in order! in the afternoon was absolutely worth money. the highlight was the Aloo Chaat and bhelpuri for me. only enough seasoned and the aromen were amazing. the chickens with the minzyoghurt was on the spot, but the Bombay sandwich was missing. the kartoffel was a tad under boiled and there was less of the wonderful green chutney and a lack of salt! sweetness: melt in the mouth of cardamom spiced cookies and Indian spiced scenes! the makkaron was delish, but a bit too sweet for my palate. the highlight for me was the gajar(Sweet carrot) halwa( pudding) spring rolls! flaky bäck with the sweet tube pudding filling! oh well also the okra fries and vada pav, which were amazing. best okra fries ever! I want to visit again, yes in any case! it is a 4/5 for me because of the Bombay sandwich that was a let off, as I really pleased!"

"nice and cozy little restaurant/bar. the food was very tasty, juicy and tasty meat plate, could do with more roast pepper on the plate because it was just two small slices bratpfeffer. nan brot was also fresh and tasty. it is a crab on the expensive side when comparing with other similar places, but would definitely go back there because the personal and the atmosphere is exceptional and eating is really fresh and tasty."

"I recently dined at Chakhana for the second time and it has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants. I enjoyed a delicious lunch starting with the tuna tiradito, followed by the pork dish, and finishing off with the sweet potato doughnuts, which were a delightful treat. The food was beautifully presented and unlike anything I've had before (except for their sister restaurant in London). The staff was warm and hospitable, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. Thank you for a wonderful meal."
