LHR: Gaylord Restaurant

Hello!

London is known for great Indian food, so now that we're at the new hotel (Melia White House), I asked the concierge for a recommendation. He sent me to Gaylords.

Our group of 5 promply trucked off down Great Portland Street for the 11 minute walk (0.6 miles). It's very easy to find. Just go south on Great Portland Street and hang a left on Mortimer Street. The restaurant is on the south side just 100 feet from the intersection.

Me and 'not-chuck-berry'We met with the manager, Mr. Sameer Berry, pictured with me to the right. Chuck Berry is not his brother, as our inquisitive crew found out. However, he did offer a 15% discount for United Airline Crews. Thank you very much Mr. Berry and the Gaylord staff! Sameer also mentioned that he will work on getting a standard group menu together, so that you don't have to spend a lot of time menu surfing. With the group plan, you'll eat an assortment of Gaylords best entrees family style, and paying the bill will be easy as it will be evenly split among your group. If I remember correctly, Sameer also said the group plan will include a beer, but best check with him before you sit down.

The food at Gaylords was excellent! It definitely ranks among the top of the Indian restaurants that I've tried in my life. From the naan to the vindaloo, every dish tasted great and was artfully prepared.

Gaylord's atmosphere was superb and the wait staff very helpful and friendly. Be sure to say hi to Mr. Sameer Berry, and mention that you saw this post on Crewtips! Enjoy!

Full beers and and assortment of great Indian food! Priceless!


This dish was an excellent assortment of Tandoori meats. I wish I could remember what it was called! It came with its own charcoal warmer thingie, so the food stayed warm.
