Indian restuarant in london for 21st birthday where you can dress up traditionally ie saris etc?

Question

Hi, my birthday's coming up soon and I'd appreciate if anyone could recommend a swanky indian restaurant (preferrably in central or south london) for dinner where you wont look out of place if you go dressed up in saris. It'll just be family and a few family friends (about 15/20 of us) but not all are indian. thank u!

Answer 1

Won't it look funny if the men are dressed in Sari's?

Answer 2

I would think that NOBODY would look out of place in a sari.....it's an INDIAN restaurant for goodness sake!!!!

Answer 3

the beneras in mayfair  020 76298886 is in my view the best ,,and u will not feel out of place in london wearing a saree let alone in any restaurant whether continental or Asian

Answer 4

Cherie and Liz. Yesterday she wore a traditional figure-flattering sequinned sari for the event at the Hilton Hotel in Park Lane. Mrs Blair, 52, opted for a ...sari and did not feel out of place, So why do you have a complex- just be yourself, and be proud of whatever you do. and enjoy your birthday.

The event was to honour Britain's most dynamic Asian women and there was only one way for the special guests to dress up.

Liz Hurley and Cherie Blair looked resplendent in Indian dress last night as they got into the spirit of the Asian Women of Achievement Awards in London.

Miss Hurley, 41, is well-practised in wearing Indian outfits, following her marriage to Arun Nayar earlier this year.
