Chakra Indian Restaurant Kingston Riverside

This was my first visit here. I would have given this restaurant 4 Stars for the Food itself but the service let them down. They clearly didn’t have experienced waiting staff that day, an attentive waitress would notice we have been waiting for an unusually long time for our 2nd round of drinks, especially after we’d asked on 2 occasions and it frustrated us that a table that had just been seated ordered drinks after us, received their drinks promptly before ours. The toilets are clean and so too is the seating area. I will visit again because the food was delicious and that is what matters most.

Very nice food. It was tasty and well presented. The staff were very friendly and the owner came out to speak to us which was a nice personal touch. Would recommend

The view is amazing and the vibes are really good. The walk down the river side and specially on summer eve is delightful. I really like the humbleness of the staff that work here. The food however I have mixed opinion as few of the were really good and few was just average. Must try is Chicken 65 dry and veg Manchurian dry, it was so delicious both if it. It is little expensive but worth the money, I would really recommend it.

Lovely, accommodating staff and delicious food. We had a birthday party for 10 people and everything was perfect! We ordered lots of food and it was all delicious and reasonable price. Would definitely go again.

Authentic and Delicious Indian cuisine. Being an Indian, I have tried different “Indian” restaurants in Kingston also in London, but this is really authentic.
Decor really good, If you want to sit outside… beautiful River view…. One of my favourite places ….

Visited this wonderful establishment for dinner, it was a real treat and 2 thumbs up for the food quality, taste and quantity. I simply loved the wine range they got. I was served by Sanvi and it was her first day, but she seemed very professional, courteous and efficient at servicing us. Thank you Sanvi you were great.

Incredible food, from starters to mains. Didn't order desserts because we were so full!

Service is great, but that's because we came for lunch on a Monday afternoon, so it was empty. Waiter gave great focus to our needs. The restaurant was very good looking, tables were strong marble. Decorations outside and at the bar area were few but clean.

Went for Goat Croquettes as starters. Mains to share were Signature Chicken Stew, Black Dhaal, Lamb Biryani and Peshwari Naan. Portions were excellent!
Mocktails were great tasting. I would suggest improving the presentations, maybe small decoratives on top, more interesting glasses. Would match the presentation of the food better.

Was only at Kingston for the day, but if I lived here, I would eat here at least once a week.

I’ve heard great things about Indian cuisine in London and Chakra definitely did not disappoint! Great location and amazing food for a very reasonable price.

My group of 8 shared Paneer Tikka, Gobi Manchurian, Dahi Kebab, Chicken Tikka and Palak Chaat. The appetizers all tasted delicious but the portion sizes were on the smaller side so I’d recommend getting at least one appetizer per person. We loved the Gobi Manchurian the most and ended up ordering another plate of it.

For the main course, we shared Butter Paneer, Saag Paneer, and the Chakra Daal with a side of Garlic Naan. All 3 curries were very flavorful and the spice level was pretty mild!
