Our Story
LONDON’S FINEST INDIAN RESTAURANTS
Located at two prestigious sites near Covent Garden – the former Holborn Town Hall and the vibrant Trafalgar Square – Colonel Saab is a group of distinguished Indian restaurants from Roop Partap Choudhary. They offer an exquisite Indian fine dining experience that captures the essence of both heritage and innovation. These restaurants are inspired by the travel stories of Roop's father, Colonel Manbeer Choudhary, an Indian Army officer, and his wife Mrs. Binny Choudhary, journeying across the Indian subcontinent. Crafted by Roop as a “love letter” to his family and as a tribute to India, each location reflects a unique facet of these journeys.
With old-style jazz music, museum-worthy artwork, and a modern interpretation of the flavours and textures of India, Colonel Saab at both Holborn and Trafalgar Square offers a contemporary perspective with an old soul. They present a nostalgic tapestry of memories, aromas, and tastes that transcend the ordinary, bringing the heart of India to the centre of London.

Indian Art at Colonel Saab
ORNATE GLASS CHANDELIERS AND ARTEFACTS THAT TELL A TALE
Dining at either of Colonel Saab’s Central London locations is also a feast for the eyes. The interiors showcase a treasure trove of eclectic Indian art and artefacts, each with its own story, meticulously collected by Roop Partap Choudhary’s family during their extensive travels. These pieces have been lovingly brought to London, creating an ambience that's both culturally rich and visually stunning.
In Holborn, the main restaurant is graced by a magnificently carved temple door from South India, while the staircase is adorned with a grand, pure silver door from a temple in Gujarat, adding a touch of splendour to the journey to your table. At our Trafalgar Square location, the opulent main dining room is illuminated by a canopy of ornate chandeliers from Firozabad, creating an atmosphere that's both luminous and inviting.
