Description

Locally born and bred chef-owner Aktar Islam has fashioned a wonderful dining experience at this ever-developing restaurant. A spacious bar and sitting room are cleverly used as a space in which to enjoy snacks and a drink before heading to the dining room and its open kitchen. The series of flavoursome, excellently spiced and carefully balanced dishes are creative, modern takes on Indian recipes – such as the Lucknow-inspired 'Gajar' that showcases the extraordinary diversity of the humble carrot. Well-chosen wines from the excellent sommelier are on-hand to accompany.

Review summary

Opheem offers contemporary Indian cuisine spanning from Persia to Bangladesh, recognized with Michelin stars. Most reviews praise the high food quality, precise flavors, and attentive service, particularly enjoying the relaxed lounge experience with amuse-bouche. However, some guests noted issues with meal pacing and value, citing high costs relative to portion sizes. While the atmosphere and staff generally receive positive feedback, a minority found the experience lacking in substance or worth the price. It remains a notable destination for fine dining enthusiasts, though potential visitors should be aware of mixed opinions regarding value for money.
