Colonel Saab Trafalgar Square presents Indian dining through the travel memories of Colonel Manbeer Choudhary and his wife Binny, interpreted by their son, restaurateur Roop Partap Choudhary. The William IV Street restaurant combines that family story with an ornate central London setting, where chandeliers from Firozabad, collected artwork and carefully chosen artefacts create a sense of place. Its position near Trafalgar Square and the West End makes it convenient for celebratory meals, business lunches and dinner before an evening performance.

The food draws on regions across the Indian subcontinent while using modern presentation and technique. À la carte choices move through street food inspired starters, tandoori cooking, aromatic curries, biryani and a substantial vegetarian selection. Guests can combine familiar dishes with less common regional recipes, while breads, rice and accompaniments help turn a selection of plates into a balanced meal for the table.

Set menus add a more guided way to experience the kitchen, including tasting courses created by Chef Sohan Bhandari and a lunch tiffin inspired by India’s compartmented meal boxes. The tiffin format can bring together dishes such as chicken tikka, chickpea chole, spiced potatoes and fragrant pilau rice without losing their individual character. Cocktails, wine and other drinks support both the shorter lunch options and the more leisurely tasting experience.

The Trafalgar Square restaurant serves lunch and dinner every day, with private rooms and larger spaces available for groups. Diners can approach the menu as a concise meal built around a curry or as a broader journey through grills, vegetarian dishes, regional specialities and dessert. The complete menu below gathers the available dishes and current prices so guests can compare the choices before reserving a table.
