Colonel Saab High HolbornA-
193-197 High Holborn, London WC1V 7BD
· Indian restaurant, Cocktail bar, Dessert restaurant
· Bloomsbury
Polished Modern Indian with standout hospitality and a creative streak; great for celebrations, but pricing is premium and service pacing can vary.
The verdict
Colonel Saab delivers exceptional food quality with modern Indian cooking that balances sophistication and approachability, supported by warm, attentive service and striking art-filled interiors. However, inconsistent execution on certain dishes and afternoon tea items alongside occasional pacing challenges prevent grade A territory. Premium pricing and timed seatings suit special occasions, making it a competitive choice among London's better neighborhood restaurants.
One caveat: Service pacing and acknowledgment can lag at times
