Memories of India Kensington is an Indian restaurant at 18 Gloucester Road in London. Established at this address in 1983, it sits close to the museums, Royal Albert Hall and Kensington Palace, making it a long standing dining option for local residents and visitors to the area.

Starters move from chicken chaat and king prawn puri to onion bhaji, papri chaat and vegetable samosa. The tandoor adds sea bass, salmon tikka, chicken, king prawns, paneer and mixed grills, using marinades of yoghurt, citrus, herbs and spices before the food meets the charcoal heat.

The curry selection spans creamy butter chicken and lamb passanda, hotter jalfrezi and naga recipes, and regional ideas such as Bengali mustard fish curry and Malabar salmon in coconut sauce. Paneer, mushrooms, aubergine, lentils and seasonal vegetables give meat free diners several substantial choices rather than just side dishes.

Biryani, basmati rice and breads baked in the clay oven complete the meal, while sharing menus and a wine list support group dining. The restaurant advises that it cannot guarantee dishes are free from allergens, so guests with allergies or dietary requirements should speak with staff before ordering.

Address: 18 Gloucester Road, Kensington, London SW7 4RB, England
