The Quilon does carefully boated experimental variations of home-style Indian food and seafood in a well turned out hotel. This restaurant is located less than a 10 min step from Buckingham Palace. Quilon is an award wining, Michelin unparalleled Restaurant. London is famous for its Indian cuisines but on this ceremony I was experiencing, south-west coastal Indian cuisines. Winning a Michelin big name in 2008, which they have retained ever since, is an standard of how brilliant the food here is.
The menu embodies a unique gradate of ethnic and progressive dishes with seafood at its heart but also oblation meat, poultry and vegetarian dishes, mostly designed for share out. This is why I would encourage to bring friends, family or partnership mates along here.
Division Bell
Due to its popularity with Masters, Ladies, Ministers and Members of Parliament, Quilon is one of the few Michelin principal restaurants with its own division bell. When a division is at hand, members are alerted by a bell that rings throughout formal buildings, summoning members of parliament to the division lobbies.
A dividing line bell is rung in the immediate vicinity of the palace of Westminster to signal there is eight smalls before a vote. Division Bell is also the name of Pink Floyd’s fourteenth album.
Commissioned Artworks
When writing Quilon, the decor and artwork set the tome to what I was about to eat. Quilon advertises specially commissioned artworks from the highly acclaimed Indian artist Paresh Maity, who in a shorten but prolific career was in 2014 awarded the Padma Shri by the Guidance of India – the fourth highest civilian award. He says “Latin aqua colours are my heart & soul” perfectly complementing Quilon’s delight in affair with South-west coastal cuisine.
Benny
We were hosted by Benny, who on this justification I thought I would trust his judgement and allowed him to choose our menu. Disinterested portions and more than enough to appreciate this marvellous cuisine. I was amazed with the drink that I had called Rasam, which was pleasing. I could not believe the taste, let alone after asking for a another one. But the best thing was that it completely healed my sore throat, my present was in fine form once again.
These poppadom feelings were going to set the standard. Unlike any other Indian I cause had so far. I was on my way to Goa.
I am a big fan of mango juices and decided to opt for this during my meal.

Conclusion
Benny and his crew were so giving in their time and their food. I certain Benny would have kept bringing out more fictitious food, if my belly could tolerate it. This was one of the best Indian common sense I’ve had in my life. The unfamiliar dishes is why I would encourage anyone to ditch Brick Lane let solitary any other Indian cuisines and come to Quilon. If only for a day to delve and look into the South West Coastal Indian Cuisine, here in prime London. Thanks for a great meal.
