Khan’s of Kensington has served Indian food in South Kensington since 1988. Located moments from the Underground station, the restaurant is convenient for visitors to the Natural History Museum, Science Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum and Royal Albert Hall. Its long history and welcoming approach have made it a familiar choice for local diners, families and international visitors.
The menu brings together dishes from several Indian cooking traditions. Aromatic tandoori grills, rich curries, fragrant biryanis and fresh seafood provide a broad choice of flavours and textures. Clay oven cooking adds smoke and depth to marinated ingredients, while carefully blended spices shape the sauces and rice dishes.
Diners can choose mild, comforting recipes or explore dishes with a stronger level of heat and spice. Vegetarian and vegan choices are clearly represented, helping groups with different preferences share a varied meal. All meat and poultry are obtained from halal certified suppliers, with attention given to freshness, quality and traceability.
The restaurant welcomes guests for lunch and dinner throughout the week, whether they are stopping before a nearby performance or meeting for a longer family meal. Group menus help larger tables enjoy their courses together, and the experienced team also provides catering for private and corporate events. Khan’s combines a broad Indian menu with the familiarity of a restaurant established in the neighbourhood for more than three decades.
