We all loved the food and service even my almost two year old. Staff is very friendly and super helpful. Will definitely be going here again and recommend to anyone. Food is so delicious!

Wonderful food and service, will definitely be back. :)

Absolutely first class as usual! All 4 of our group loved our dinner & the overall dining experience at Koi last evening, wonderful service & sublime food. Thank you so much & we look forward to returning! :-)

Our first experience through First table at the Koi did not disappoint. We arrived 15 minutes early, despite this we were still seated and given time to relax before ordering a pre-dinner drink.

We both chose from the specialty menu a Scottish whiskey and an Indian gin, which were superb and set the scene for our evening.

We chose entrees of mixed pappadums and chicken trio with dips washed down with a Marlborough bottle of Sauvignon which complimented our dinner beautifully.

For mains we enjoyed medium spiced Lamb shank cooked to perfection, and dipped our cheese and garlic naan into the sauce with its plump mushrooms and cauliflower. The Butter chicken with its creamy sweet sauce and accompanying rice was the best my husband has ever eaten, "his words". Unfortunately we left no room for dessert on this occasion but it was tempting.

The gorgeous authentic decor at the Koi really does set an exotic scene. Arriving early meant we got to enjoy our surroundings with minimal other guests present which we really appreciated.

The service at the Koi was exceptional with just the right amount of timing between courses, genuinely warm, without being imposing. Although we were invited to sit back and relax if we wanted to make space for dessert, we chose not to on this occasion.

Thank you Koi we highly recommend eating at this venue and will be back in the very near future.

The flavours at Koi are yummy. However, entree size is tiny! Was a bit worried about the mains but there is definitely enough for one main per person. Next time I’ll skip the entree and stick with the main. My favourite was the beef rendang and the biryani. Yum!!

Always enjoy going to koi. Tasty food and riendly service. See you again.

Oh my goodness.... beautiful food!!! Cant fault a single thing!! We will definitely be back.

Amazing everything!! Staff, food and atmosphere were all outstanding. Will def be nack

excellent as usual

Flavours

Lovely environment, good service and tasty food - especially the starters!

Had a good meal here, it is not the most extensive menu for choice. What we had, starter and mains, was well presented and very tasty, service was excellent, which you would expect for the early time. Will be back to try some of the other delicious sounding fare, thank you.

Very nice dinner, our waiting staff were very attentive and polite. Would like to give it another crack

Lovely food atmosphere and staff. Probably a shame some things aren't on the menu for first table but a great meal none the less. Thanks

Absolutely delicious!!!!!!

First class

Another fantastic evening and introduced more friends to First Table :) The service and food at Koi is always so enjoyable and the atmosphere extremely pleasant. Thanks everyone for a lovely evening.

Such a beautiful atmosphere and wonderful prompt service. The food was delicious and very tasty. Our children enjoyed the lamb shanks which was not too spicy for them. I enjoyed the masala chicken very flavourful with good sized chicken and amount and my husband enjoyed the chicken Byriani in the clay pot which gave a tasty unique flavour. Amazing experience would definitely recommend.

Relaxing atmosphere, funky music, amazing service and most of all excellent food! The Hawker's Hunt and Trio Clay Chicken are highly recommended!

Friendly, attentive staff and beautiful food. We look forward to eating there again

Had a lovely time! Food was AMAZING. Can’t wait to go again

Fantastic food, lovely staff with great service.
Beautiful restaurant. Couldn’t fault it.
We will definitely be back. Our favourite restaurant now.

We had an excellent evening. Good sized servings of delicious food and friendly, and professional service. Lots of choices on the menu.

Great vibe and great food made for a pleasurable dining experience

Amazing food and service again here :)

Fantastic meal, best claypot chicken biryani I have had in a long time, as good as the Imperial Hotel Delhi, which is a high standard to match.

Excellent

Food was beautifully presented and flavours were amazing. We took our two kids along and they shared a butter chicken and naan. An amazing range of various whisky's on the menu if you are a whiskey lover! Lovely decor inside and we will definitely be trying this restaurant again.

Lovely food, very attentive service. great place for pre show dining.

really good value and friendly helpful service

Always a good time at Koi

Absolutely loved the atmosphere and the decor of this restaurant. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Food was all very good especially that fresh naan bread and the masala chicken. Would definitely recommend this place. Menu has a good variety too so great to get a few plates and share with friends.

Very friendly service nice food would definitely go again

We really enjoyed our meal at Koi, food was very good and so was the service. Just a note, if dining here with first table, some of the menu items are not included but still a good variety to choose from. Chicken and beef were so tender and great tasting.

lovely place, great staff, nice ambience, but most importantly delicious food .

Great experience. Amazing food . Lovely evening

Return visit as always a wonderful dining experience. Once again I ordered the Chicken Biriyani and once again very reluctant to share as this is by far the best Biriyani I have ever eaten and I order it often as it is my favourite dish. But share it I did as it meant I got to share the other dishes as well and you can't be too selfish!! The lamb saag and the roast chicken curry were so delicious that they were well worth sacrificing a few spoonfuls of my own precious dish! We'll be back and definitely recommending others visit too. Thanks Kio for the excellent service too.

Great!

The service and food were wonderful! Our kids loved it and we will definitely be back again. Thank you

AMAZING as always! The food is sublime and a huge step above your usual run of the mill Indian restaurants. Flavours are delicious, presentation creative and beautiful and the service is warm. Thank you Koi, we love coming to see you and are glad we get the opportunity to do that via First Table. :-)

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, the food the service and the range of drinks available were all excellent.

Food was delicious and we all loved it. Service also was excellent. Thanks so much. We will definitely come again.

I came to Koi with high expectations and was fairly disappointed. The curries were extremely sweet and lacking spice or flavour, while the Malaysian food was very bland. Neither was authentic to either region. The two highlights were the cheese naan and the roti pratha which were tasty and authentic. Service was OK, but we were interrupted every 5 minutes to see if we were OK which got annoying.

Great food. Nice peaceful setting. I dnt normally eat out as I feel uncomfortably. But not at Koi. Always great service and they dnt mind the lil 1s. Even talk to nd poke fun at them. Deffinately recommend if u just wana chill nd eat good food. Great selection at the bar too to wash down your food with.
