    I've been there twice for dinner in just three days. I liked it that much! And I'm going for breakfast tomorrow. Great food and drinks. Get the Paneer Tikka Masala. It's delicious. And the mango chutney they serve it with is divine.

    The place itself is okay but the customer service was extremely poor. We waited over 30 minutes just to get a menu and couldn’t get the attention of a single waiter. Meanwhile, one table of white customers had multiple waiters attending to them the entire time. The difference in treatment was obvious and unacceptable. It’s very disappointing to experience this kind of discrimination in my own country. When we were finally served, the food was below average and absolutely not worth the wait.

    Wonderful day spent at Karen Blixen Hatton Gardens ! Josephine served us, so kind and patient. A really lush green environment that really feels like a breath of fresh air. Gets you into a serene experience with incredible service from the menthol scented hand towels to start to the delicious meals (portions are definitely worth the buck!!) and just lovely garden views which are a constant joy- Enjoyed every bit ! Thank you !

    Really nice location for company retreats and team bonding sessions. It’s also ok for couples that want to unwind. Really quiet and serene. It’s my second time here and definitely won’t be the last.

    Such a beautiful and peaceful place — the gardens are lush and relaxing, perfect for a quiet afternoon. I had the buffet lunch, and everything was fresh, well-prepared, and nicely presented. The service was friendly, and the outdoor setting made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for a calm, scenic meal in Karen!
