From South Kensington to Barnes

Saturday, March 01st , 2025

Pravaas is an Indian restaurant in South Kensington. It had very friendly staff and generally well-prepared Indian dishes in a pleasant setting. These days there are so many genuinely high-class Indian restaurants in and around London that it is hard to stand out, but Pravaas is a more than decent restaurant.

The Watermans Arms in Barnes has a river view, but at my visit that was the best aspect of the meal that we had. There was a decent scallop dish but also issues with several of the other dishes. It was also surprisingly expensive for the level of cooking. If you want to go to a pub called Watermans Arms then head to the excellent one in Brentford instead.
