Frommer's "This is French haute cuisine, but with a nod towards London's more relaxed style." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The celebrated chef's Mayfair Park restaurant has earned three Michelin Stars since opening in 2008. The contemporary dining room has a neutral creamy palette and high ceilings." Full review
Gayot17.0
"Enter the room, designed by Patrick Jouin, to find a soothing, sophisticated space with light wood panels and natural materials in varying shades of tan and cream." Full review
Independent "The no-expense-spared philosophy shows in the svelte Patrick Jouin-designed room, with its decaffeinated-coffee-and-skimmed- cream colours." Full review
The Guardian "Ducasse's proxy, Jocelyn Herland, produces dishes that are genuinely beautiful to the eye, but less memorable to the tastebud than that triple-star rating might suggest." Full review
Time Out "The cooking and setting are undeniably lovely, yet the overall experience lacks wow factors... largely because of its unfashionably restrained, traditional approach to fine dining." Full review
Zagat4.7
""Top class in every respect"." Full review
Not For Tourists "Better known for its extortionate prices than michelin-starred food."
Michelin Guide 3 Stars
"Alain Ducasse is one of France's greatest post-war chefs and his London team display a confidence in their ability and maturity in their attitude that does justice to his reputation." Full review
Evening Standard "Alain Ducasse has more three Michelin starred restaurants than London does. He has three, we have two. And, er, one of those, this one, is his." Full review

Concierge "Innovative, high-end Indian restaurants abound in London, but not all cook food worth trying. Amaya, however, does, serving contemporary versions of Indian street food and smarter dishes in chic surroundings."
Travel + Leisure "Run by the same owners as Chutney Mary and Verraswamy, the United Kingdom's oldest Indian restaurant, Amaya, has earned one Michelin star for its grilled kebabs and Indian-style tapas." Full review
Gayot15.0
"The room looks luxurious and stylish with rosewood and red panels, Indian interiors and glass, terra cotta sculptures from Bengal and Italian leather chairs." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A very different Indian restaurant, indeed. Spacious, stylish, and with the kitchen on honest display."
Michelin Guide 1 Star
"The quality and consistency of the food at Amaya keeps it busy, but if you haven't booked it's still worth turning up as they try to accommodate everyone." Full review
Rough Guide "The creative contemporary Indian food served in this smart dining room – delicate, finely flavoured grills, prepared in front of you in the open kitchen – well deserves its Michelin star."
Time Out "Specialising in stylish pan-Indian tapas, Amaya is favoured by a clientele of well-heeled professionals blessed with good taste and deep pockets." Full review
Zagat4.7
"“Sleek and chic”, this Belgravia “oasis” takes an “intellectual approach” to the “rich fabric of Indian cuisine”, producing “beautifully presented”, “mouth-watering” dishes “designed for sharing”." Full review
Not For Tourists "Where the trendies go for their curry fix."
goop "Nestled in the heart of Belgravia on the absurdly charming Motcomb street, Amaya is one of our favorite spots for Indian food." Full review
