Covent Garden ain't short of good Indian restaurants, and Bhatti is amongst the best. After all, it's been recommended by Egon Ronay. Housed in an historic 17th century listed building, it is pleasantly bright inside where spotlights highlight the shiny blonde wooded floor and chairs. After a friendly welcome comes the best bit - the menu. There's nothing esoteric or scary on it, just a familiar palate-pleasing list of the dishes you know and love - chicken tikka masala, jalfreizi, vindaloo, madras, lamb rogan ghosh...Pretty much everything is good value; a bottle of house wine costs just under a tenner. Whether a curry lover or curry virgin, Bhatti is a great place to explore Indian cuisine.

Bhatti is a very pleasant resturant with a good range of dishes to choose from. Value for money is okay but very pleasant staff and a place i would be happy to go to again.

Bhatti was a very pleasant experience. We went with a group of 7 and everyone enjoyed their meal. The waiter was very friendly and food was served very timely. Recommended if you fancy quite a normal curry out with some friends for a reasonable price, very close to Covent Garden and the rest of the West End.

No place like london for Indian. This didn't disappoint.Stay with beers as the only advice was that their wines (by the glass) were not great. But that shouldn't turn you away from this casual indian place in the covent garden area.

Myself and my girlfriend went to Bhatti on Saturday and I was very impressed with the quality of the food. My starter and main were both delicious and the portions were very generous. The service was very attentive (we even picked up a recipe for making chilli pickle) and our food was served promptly but we never felt rushed. The restaurant was a little quiet but I assume that was because we were eating fairly early (it did get a little busier later in the evening). Overall a great night out

Bhatti is an excellent restaurant - especially if you are going to the Shaftesbury Theatre as it is only a 5-min walk. The staff were super friendly and helpful - especially when it came to recommendations regarding the menu - they took the time to ask us our preferences before recommending a dish!! And the food was very good - I would recommend this venue!! Jennie, Hampton

We went to Bhatti restaurant on April 18th for a pre show meal. The menu was quite basic. Your bog standard Indian meals. This was fine as everything we wanted was on the menu. We had some poppadoms with pickles, chicken dhansak, chicken balti, sag aloo and onion bhajis. The food was far from bog standard, one of the best currys we've ever had! we also had desserts, an ice cream and a sorbet whch were both nice. The bill came to £50 including a glass of wine and a soft drink. Highly recommended!

We went to Bhatti for a hen night, pre-theatre meal. The food was excellent, all the usual stuff you'd expect (Chicken Tikka, Balti, Buna, Dopiaza, Jalfrezi, etc) but all really nicely prepared, good value for money, especially this central. The service was great too, the manager was very friendly and entertaining, and the food came out promptly and everything we asked for - no mean feat with 15 people. And the restaurant called beforehand to confirm our reservation.Will definitely go back.

Bhatti Indian restaurant in Covent Garden was good. The food was served quickly and was piping hot. I visited with two of my friends and may go back again.
