Upscale Indian dishes from the southwest coast using fish and coconut

Trishna @trishnalondon is one of few halal Indian Michelin stared restaurants in London and has been on my list for a long time. They offer a decent lunch bites menu, where 2 dishes £19 per person, 3 for £24, 4 for £29 and 5 for £34. I ordered a total of 6 dishes which are the following, plus lamb chops from the la carte menu for £18.
Starters
Paneer tikka anardana [fried onion, mint, corn & pomegranate chat]
Punjabi vegetable samosa chat [chickpea masala, tamarind, sweet yoghurt]
Mains
Andhra lamb masala [curry leaf, coastal spices]
Moplah seafood biryani [seabass, shellfish, coriander, pink peppercorn raita]
Sides
Bread basket, basmati rice, Hyderabadi dal and wild mustard potatoes
Desserts
Gajar halwa [heritage carrot pudding, masala chai kulfi, cake]
Cardamom kheer [fig, raisin, pistachio, cardamom]

First of all, there was a lot of food and the portions where great, I was very pleased with the amount of food that arrived, I was very well fed and stuffed after lunch. I have to say I was expecting more for a Michelin stared restaurant, apart from the lamb chops nothing stood out or really made an impression. The lamb chops where very thick and very good, cooked well and Burnt on the outside not dry, and very juicy and moist inside infused with a tandoori flavour a very good piece of meat here. 
Venue wise, the space is small and similar to a cafe in shoreditch, I was expecting better from the decor and the service was rather average for a one star Michelin. Booking was required and we were shown to out table at 1.45pm straight away. I just felt the staff where slight unattentive. Each meal was introduced when brought to the table as standard by a restaurant with a Michelin Star. 
The total bill was under £70 which is very good considering it is a Michelin starred restaurant. However, after leaving I noticed that they charged me for 2 dishes per person and not 3. 😂😃 Full review will be posted on www.halalfoodguy.co.uk 
Chicken and lamb halal only.

@halalfoodguy's review of Trishna Marylebone on Instagram

Trishna

The waitstaff and food at Trishna is incredible! I have never had flavors or dishes like those at Trishna, and I have been able to dine at higher-end Indian establishments in London. I would highly recommend Trishna to anyone looking for a special meal while in London!
The Festive Tasting menu was so tasty and great portions - scallops, salmon, lamb, and much more. The wine pairing was also exceptional.
The staff is so kind and really took care of me and my husband. We will be back!!

Never walked into a Michelin starred restaurant by mistake, so glad I did. Did the lunch special, which is a total bargain at 55£ for 4 dishes. Added the tandoori lamb shank, that was a great idea. The food was fabulous, service impeccable, and bill was way below what I would expect from a restaurant of this level. Definitely the highlight of my weekend.

We came here to celebrate our 2 year anniversary and were wowed by the menu here. It is so unique and geared towards coastal cuisine. The service was really good. We can highly recommend the morel and the chicken chops in starters. The kofta was really good as well. We need to come back here to try the rest of the menu. We were given complimentary dessert for celebration.

We had a fantastic experience at Trishna celebrating my wife’s birthday!

Service: From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel special. They greeted us with warm birthday wishes. A special thanks to Aneshwar, who went out of his way to accommodate our vegetarian preferences by modifying the weekday lunch set menu—it made the experience feel personal and inclusive. Call out to Preeta too for being extremely courteous through the meal. We were given fresh Plates & cutlery after every course, which added to the experience, since we didn’t mix dishes.

Food: The set menu was generous and filling, with a refined twist on Indian classics. Standouts included the aubergine vathakal, kofta, broccoli in tandoor and the unforgettable desserts—payesh and kheer, which were beautifully balanced and full of flavour.

Drinks: We’ve heard great things about their wine pairings, which are apparently excellent. Sadly, we didn’t get to try them this time—but definitely something to come back for.

The only slight downside was the Belu water being the only option at £3.50pp. It would be nice to have tap water offered as well.

All in all, a wonderful meal, exceptional service, and a warm, celebratory atmosphere. Highly recommended—especially for special occasions!

The food was simply outstanding — a masterclass in refined Indian cuisine. Every dish was beautifully balanced, bursting with authentic flavor yet presented with modern finesse. The soft shell crab and Hyderabadi lamb were absolute standouts, and the wine pairing complemented the spices brilliantly.

Our chicken, lamb and goat is Halal. There is no pork on the menu and we prepare separately to non-Halal ingredients to avoid cross-contamination. Alcohol is served.
