Real Indian cooking, made with our own masalas and served with warmth on Boundary Road for over sixty years.
Meghna Grill has been part of St John’s Wood since 1964 — a family-run Indian restaurant and bar on Boundary Road, NW8. We celebrate traditional Indian cooking with a contemporary touch, bringing together the tandoor classics of the North with the Chettinad, Madras and Kerala dishes and dosas of the South.
Every dish starts with our own handcrafted masalas, made from hand-picked whole spices that we toast and grind in our kitchen. We cook without shortcuts or additives, so the food is full of flavour without feeling heavy — and we’re always happy to make a dish milder or hotter for you.
Our dining room is bright, relaxed and fully air-conditioned, with a private dining room for birthdays, family gatherings and work dinners, and a bar with wines, beers and cocktails chosen to sit alongside spice.
Whole spices hand-picked, toasted and ground in-house for every curry.
Fresh, additive-free cooking — generous, flavourful and easy to enjoy.
Tandoori grills and curries alongside South Indian dosas and Kerala specialities.
A private room for celebrations, family occasions and work dinners.
Comfortable all year round, including the private dining room.
Wines, cold Indian beer, cocktails and mango lassi.
From a family Sunday lunch to an office Christmas party, we can set the table for your group and suggest sharing menus to suit your numbers and budget.

“The paratha was the best any of us have ever had and that includes in India. The garlic naan was also so yummy… The staff are really lovely and accommodating.”
“What really set the experience apart, though, was the service: attentive and warm without ever being intrusive. It’s the kind of place where you feel genuinely looked after from the moment you walk in.”
“Amazing cooking, lovely service from Kavya! Hand made cuisine, fresh and flavorful. Gorgeous spice. Intimate dining room, so relaxing.”
“Delicious, authentic Indian food. My go-to spot when I’m a bit homesick. Definitely recommend the butter chicken and dal makhani.”
“Authentic Indian place (no chicken breast in curry, all thighs, the way it should be!!!). The service, food and quantity were all great.”
“The Meghna Grill served quite possibly the finest Indian food I have had in years, if not ever… We will be back!”
