Kothur Indian Cuisine is a full-service restaurant nestled on Hamilton Road in London, specializing in a flavorful mix of Indian and Indo-Chinese dishes, with a distinctive South Indian focus. The atmosphere balances cozy and vibrant, making it a fitting spot for casual dinners, family meals, or a relaxed night out exploring rich spices and bold flavors.

Inside, the setting is unpretentious yet lively, reflecting both traditional Indian warmth and a bit of modern whimsy — highlighted by a small robot that delivers food to the table, adding a unique touch that delights visitors and keeps the mood light. This nugget of fun complements attentive service that tends to be warm and personable, often guiding diners through the menu offerings.

Kothur’s menu stands out for its variety, ranging from classic South Indian items like the Mysore Masala Dosa and Sambar Vada, to popular North Indian comfort dishes such as Butter Chicken paired with freshly baked garlic naan. For those open to Indo-Chinese fusion, the Chicken Manchurian and Vindaloo dishes bring a flavorful punch, often with a bit more heat than expected — a detail adventurous eaters will appreciate, though milder palettes may want to ask for a gentler spice level.

This spot shines for anyone seeking a genuine, south-of-India-inspired meal without venturing far, and it’s a place where experiencing a broad spectrum of Indian cuisine in one sitting is entirely possible. Diners who favor hearty, boldly spiced curries, crispy fried snacks like vegetable samosas and onion bhajis, or aromatic biryanis will find much to enjoy here.

The best times to visit tend to be evenings when the restaurant feels comfortably busy but not overcrowded, allowing staff to provide attentive recommendations and timely service. It’s well suited for both intimate dinners and groups eager to sample a variety of dishes. Customers familiar with the area sometimes make a point of driving longer distances to eat here, drawn by the consistency and care in the kitchen.

Whether you’re craving buttery, creamy sauces, tangy vindaloo, or traditional street-food snacks, Kothur embodies a practical, grounded dining experience. It’s the kind of place where you appreciate the food’s authenticity alongside the human touches — from the friendly servers to the small robotic helper — creating a dining experience that’s part familiarity and part unexpected delight.

I had an incredible experience at this Indian restaurant! The food was bursting with authentic flavors—from the perfectly spiced curries to the fresh, warm naan that paired beautifully with every dish. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and made great recommendations that truly enhanced our meal. The atmosphere was cozy and vibrant, making it the perfect place to enjoy a delicious dining experience with friends or family. I will definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend!

Loved the little robot that goes around. The food was great,but a bit spicier than I would have liked. Service was also very good. Overall a great place to grab some Indian food.

Kothur is hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve been to! The service is absolutely amazing – warm, friendly, and super attentive. The food is 10/10, full of flavor and made to perfection. I literally drove 50 kilometers just to have dinner here, and it was 100% worth it. Every bite was delicious, and the whole experience made the drive more than worthwhile. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great food and excellent service!

We ordered cheese potato masala dosa, butter chicken and goat korma. The dosa was a good blend of cheesy potato-imess. The butter chicken was a good balance of cream and tomato flavours--one of the best I've had in London. My fiancé ordered the goat korma and thought it was great - just the right level of spice for us and very flavourful. It was the G.O.A.T.

It was a good experience. The place was clean and tidy. We tried Mysore Dosa, Chettinad Chicken, Malabar Parotta, Samosas, Masala chai and Madras Coffee. The portions were very generous. Five of us were stuffed, price was very reasonable. Staff was polite and respectful.

I have been visiting this place for a while now, and it continues to impress me every single time. The food is incredibly tasty, the prices are genuine and affordable, and the ambience inside is warm and welcoming. Their service overall is excellent; you can truly feel the care they put into everything. I also want to give a special mention to YUVA. She is always so sweet, gentle, and calm. She checks in with me every time to make sure my food is good and if I need anything else. Her patience and helpful nature really stand out. She makes the dining experience even better. Highly recommend this place ……amazing food, great service, and wonderful staff!
