A friendly, flavor-forward North Indian spot in Hammersmith with attentive touches and robust spicing, delivering solid value via a mid-priced menu, though heat levels and consistency can vary.
Kamasutra delivers reliable North Indian comfort dining with exceptional service attentiveness—napkins on laps, warm towels, and genuine spice-level care—and solid food quality anchored by consistently praised garlic naan and flavorful curries. However, inconsistent execution across visits and a modest, occasionally noisy setting prevent it from reaching higher territory. It's a dependable neighborhood favorite worth visiting, especially for lunch value and family-friendly service.
Tucked on a Hammersmith side street, Kamasutra feels warm and welcoming rather than showy. Small touches stand out: napkins placed on laps, warm towels at the end, and servers who check on heat and allergies. One diner summed it up simply: "Service was kind and the curries arrived fast," even if a humming fridge occasionally dents the otherwise relaxed room. The cooking leans classic North Indian with a comfort-first approach: paneer starters, rich gravies, and smoky tandoori favorites. When it hits, it really hits—garlic naan is reliably fluffy, lamb dishes draw repeat orders, and the lunch special offers strong value. A minority found spice levels milder or hotter than billed, so speak up if you want more kick; this kitchen generally aims to please. Families should find it easy to order. Mild mainstays like korma-style curry, chicken tikka, naan, and rice give kids familiar anchors, and staff are notably patient with teens. If you need it, ask for low spice and keep bolder dishes for adventurous diners. Vegan choices look limited, but vegetarians have several routes, and gluten-avoidant guests report helpful guidance.
