Kahani is a contemporary Indian restaurant on Wilbraham Place in Belgravia, close to Sloane Square and opposite Cadogan Hall. Its name means story in Hindi, reflecting Chef Peter Joseph’s intention to connect his upbringing in Chennai with his experience in British kitchens.

Seasonal British ingredients are combined with Indian spices and traditional techniques. Meat, fish and vegetables are prepared on the robata grill and in the tandoor, creating lighter dishes that emphasise smoke, careful seasoning and the natural character of the main ingredient.

Sharing is central to the restaurant’s approach, allowing guests to combine smaller dishes before moving to more substantial plates. The main selection is supported by tasting, vegan and Dawat menus, providing several ways to explore the kitchen’s cooking.

Kahani serves dinner throughout the week and adds daytime service later in the week and on Sunday. A cocktail bar and a private dining room for up to fourteen guests make the restaurant suitable for celebrations, business meals and more intimate group occasions.

Address: 1 Wilbraham Place, Belgravia, London SW1X 9AE, United Kingdom
