About Trishna
Trishna opened in Marylebone in 2008 as the first London project from JKS Restaurants — the group that would go on to own Gymkhana, Brigadiers, Hoppers, Bao, and most of the serious Indian scene in the city. It won its Michelin star in 2012 and has held it continuously since, which makes it one of the longest-running starred Indian kitchens in Europe.
The menu is built around the seafood cooking of India's southwest coast — Karwar, Mangalore, Goa — with signature dishes including a black pepper soft-shell crab, a Goan-style lobster, and a series of coastal curries that lean less on cream than the generic Indian restaurant template usually allows.
The room is small, warm, and genuinely residential-feeling for Marylebone — banquettes, soft lighting, and tables close enough together to create atmosphere without sacrificing conversation. Pricing is unusually honest for the Michelin tier: a three-course dinner averages under £80 before drinks.
Best Occasion Fit
Trishna is a birthday and first-date choice for anyone who wants a genuinely distinctive kitchen without the Mayfair formality. The coastal-Indian lens remains rare in London and the restaurant's two-decade Marylebone tenure gives it the kind of neighbourhood-pillar credibility that tends to read well to sophisticated guests.
