Nestled within the chic Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences, this gem has quickly become a darling of the London dining scene. After months of anticipation, I finally ventured to this culinary haven. TH@51 offers an extraordinary dining experience, blending diverse flavours and innovative techniques to create dishes that are both visually stunning and downright delicious.
I strolled in with a friend, immediately captivated by the modern, stylish décor—a perfect blend of luxury and warmth. The restaurant’s inviting ambiance features warm lighting, elegant furnishings, ample indoor and outdoor seating, and a grand central kitchen that adds a touch of theatre to the dining experience. Our evening began at 7.
30 pm, as we took in the gorgeous surroundings. The highlight? A beautiful outdoor courtyard with a stunning central fountain, ideal for al fresco dining on warm evenings. Kicking off the night with cocktails, my friend opted for a Spicy Margarita, while I ventured out of my comfort zone with a Coconut Espresso Martini—a surprisingly delightful choice.
The menu at TH@51 is a tantalizing mix of international dishes, each meticulously crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We started with the Sumac Garlic Prawns (£17) and Cajun Spiced Lamb Bao Buns (£18). Both dishes were outstanding, but the prawns, paired with beetroot tzatziki, stole the show - I could easily devour them daily.
Although a committed carnivore, I couldn’t resist the Paneer Wellingto.
