From The Kitchen
Starters, tandoori, the classic curries, biryanis, breads. Served at both our Charing Cross and Soho restaurants.
Since they first set foot in 1498, starting with the Portuguese, Europeans have been fascinated by the riches of the Indian sub-continent, with emphasis increasing during the British Raj. It was not only tea and jute, but the vast variety of spices and herbs that tempted them to stay so far from home over the countries. Inspired by tradition and innovation, our kitchen becomes like a spice market every day, using the great range of herbs and spices which are ground and skilfully blended in the preparation of some of the great classic dishes that we offer to you in our tempting menu.
