Madhu's Brasserie Richmond

I had a really enjoyable evening with fantastic food. I hope the restaurant continues to do well!

The food was outstanding, the reception was warm, and the service was delightful, as always. - David

Great food, poor service, a little overpriced. Maybe better as somewhere to pop in on your own and sit at the counter

Eat was good, but we were the only diners on Thursday night. the kitchen worked mostly on takeaways. our server seemed very inexperienced. the prices are very high.

The most disappointing thing was my main course. I chose the prawn moilee curry which was a HUGE £23/25.00 I can’t remember exactly. The prawns were nice but the curry itself was lacking seasoning and flavour. Very bland! Would not re visit purely due to this. Indian cuisine should pack a punch and be full of flavour this was very mediocre.

Authentic Indian cuisine very beautifully presented. Tiny, cosy seating space, ideal for smaller groups intimate dining. Only bad point is that there is only 1.5 hours table time but the service is too slow to accommodate this, so you feel like you are rushed to eat really quickly once food arrives, as you need to leave within the time slot. For this reason, we had to go somewhere else for dessert which was a massive shame.

Overpriced, average standard bordering on below standard) food. 1) starters came out at different times 2) samosas. Party overcooked 3) mains. portion sizes could be increased. Average quality- had better at local “curry houses”. 4) Management chastising staff in front of customers. 5) Management explaining staffing policy and how pay structured in front of customers. Positives: Friendly waitress and stylish tableware. This is all about the Harvey Nick’s link and not upto standard would expect of a supposedly top class outfit.

Although food was nice here this place is clearly not designed as a sit in restaurant and more of a take away. We were constantly badgered to finish our food and drinks by a certain time and server came over 4 times to clear our plates whilst we were still eating! The ambiance was not great, a very small seating area and prices are extortionate £18.95 for a butter chicken! , the server asked us to get up and pay while we were still finishing drinks and one of our guests had not received her food and so we cancelled our order. A very disappointing experience.

I wasn't particularly impressed with my experience. The restaurant is small and cramped. We managed to get a table in the back, which was suitable for our group; however, if more tables had been occupied, it would have felt quite cramped. We ordered both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian thalis, and everyone sampled the Malfy cooler cocktail. While the food and drinks were tasty and authentic, we were taken aback by the prices. We paid £45 per person for just one meal and one drink each. At that price, I would expect a full three-course meal. Madhus von Richmond really needs to consider offering a set menu or lowering their prices a bit. I wouldn’t return for a dine-in experience, but I migh...
