I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kothur Restaurant, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was delicious — full of authentic flavors and beautifully presented — but what really stood out was the exceptional service. A special mention goes to the young girl who served our table. She was incredibly pleasant, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout our visit. Her warm demeanor and thoughtful service added a personal touch that made our meal even more enjoyable. It’s rare to come across someone who makes you feel so well taken care of, and we truly appreciated her efforts.

Extremely delicious and addicting food served here. Everything tasted fresh, well balance, and served warm and the sizzling dish came out sizzling. Saff are friendly, easy to talk to, well attentive, plus the robot is just straight up cute. Atmosphere equally beautiful and kept well tidy, they have beautiful fuschia flower plants when you walk in. We ordered 1 of each ( this easily feed us both) ● Panneer Makhini ● Rice ● Tandoori Chicken Sizzlers - comes with Naan bread Thank you Kothur, can't wait to dine here again!

It was a good experience. The place was clean and tidy. We tried Mysore Dosa, Chettinad Chicken, Malabar Parotta, Samosas, Masala chai and Madras Coffee. The portions were very generous. Five of us were stuffed, price was very reasonable. Staff was polite and respectful.

Kothur Indian Cuisine in London, Ontario (on Hamilton Road) is known for its tasty South Indian food like biryani, dosa, and butter chicken. The food is full of flavor and portions are generous. The staff are friendly, and the robot server adds a fun touch. It’s a great place for both families and anyone craving real Indian food.

Kothur is hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve been to! The service is absolutely amazing – warm, friendly, and super attentive. The food is 10/10, full of flavor and made to perfection. I literally drove 50 kilometers just to have dinner here, and it was 100% worth it. Every bite was delicious, and the whole experience made the drive more than worthwhile. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great food and excellent service!

Loved the little robot that goes around. The food was great,but a bit spicier than I would have liked. Service was also very good. Overall a great place to grab some Indian food.

So yummy! Ordered takeout and the girl helping me was super sweet so amazing customer service. The food itself is also very good—I really enjoyed the lamb/goat biryani and appreciated the fact that you can adjust the spice level. The portions themselves are also extremely generous, and they filled my container to the brim! Would definitely recommend and will be back to try their mango lassi.

We stopped here for dinner and what an incredible experience. The server was kind and very polite. With two kids it’s always chaos but the robot was a great distraction for them. Everything was cooked fresh and we wanted mild and we got exactly what we expected for spice levels. Everyone ate their heart out and we left with a smile on our face. Highly recommend this place.
