Arrive Like a Guest of Honour: Paro’s Range Rover Car Service for Covent Garden Hotel Guests
The best Indian restaurant in Covent Garden can now come and collect you
There is a particular kind of London evening that begins badly. You are staying somewhere beautiful in Covent Garden. It is raining, as it tends to. You have a table booked, you are dressed for it, and you spend the next twenty minutes on a phone app watching a small car icon circle the wrong side of the Strand.
We decided to remove that twenty minutes entirely.
From 07/07/2026, guests dining at Paro Covent Garden can arrange to be collected from their hotel lobby or front door and driven directly to the restaurant — and driven straight back afterwards — in our Range Rover. Get in touch when you book!
We have always believed that hospitality does not begin when the menus arrive. It begins at the door. The great houses of this neighbourhood — the Savoy chief among them — understood that a century ago, and built their reputations on the idea that a guest should never have to arrange anything for themselves. We are a restaurant rather than a hotel, but we do not see why that standard should belong to hotels alone.
The Car
A 2023 Range Rover, in the highest trim the marque makes: quiet, unhurried, and built for the two miles of wet cobbles between your hotel and your table rather than for anything more strenuous. It seats four passengers comfortably.
Our second vehicle, an all-electric Renault 4 E-Tech, normally handles our kitchen and delivery runs and is on hand as a backup so that a group is never turned away because one car is out.
Which Hotels and Addresses We Cover
We collect from hotels, apartments and private addresses within 3 miles of the restaurant. In practice, that means we’re a very short run from most of the neighbourhood, including guests staying at or near:
• The Savoy
• One Aldwych
• The Waldorf Hilton
• The Strand Palace
• ME London
• NoMad London
• Rosewood London
• The Covent Garden Hotel
• The Resident Covent Garden
• Z Hotel Covent Garden
Why We’re Doing This
Two reasons, and I’ll be honest about both.
The first is practical. Covent Garden is one of the most walkable parts of London right up until the moment it isn’t. Rain, heels, a late-running show at the Opera House, an elderly parent, a family with small children, a client you’d rather not make walk fifteen minutes past a building site — any one of those turns a pleasant stroll into a problem. Removing the journey removes the problem.
The second is more personal. I have worked in commercial kitchens since I was fourteen, and I have watched a very particular thing happen at the doors of the grand hotels on this street: the car pulls up, the door opens, and the guest is received. Indian restaurants in London have spent decades earning the right to that same level of ceremony. Our food already sits at that standard. I wanted the arrival to match it.
And Then There’s Dinner
The car is a nice touch. It is not the reason to come.
Paro serves the food of West Bengal — the cooking I grew up with, rebuilt for a 130-cover dining room in the middle of the West End. That means smoke and char from the tandoor, mustard oil and panch phoron, slow-built curries that taste of a home kitchen rather than a hotel banqueting hall, and a level of spicing that we are happy to take seriously if you are.
We’re equally set up for the kind of evening that needs organising: private dining and corporate events, set menus for groups, and a room that can take a full party without anybody feeling like an afterthought.
If you’re searching for the best Indian restaurant in Covent Garden, or simply the best Indian restaurant in London for a night that requires no logistics whatsoever, we’d like the chance to prove it.
