A sleek, high-end counter-dining experience in Mayfair that feels like a luxurious railway carriage, serving intricate, progressive Indian small plates.
Ordering Strategy
The counter is the best seat in the house to watch the chefs. Dinner is often a set Chef's Selection menu, while lunch offers à la carte options where you can explore specific small plates.
What to order
Sharmaji’s Lahori Chicken
Critics describe this succulent dish as 'tender grilled' chicken served in a 'rich cashew and yoghurt whey sauce' that diners 'rave about for days.'
Sweetcorn Kurkure
These 'absurdly compelling' and 'addictive' deep-fried bullets of kernels are rolled in at least 20 spices, serving as a 'brilliant opening salvo' to the meal.
Roomali Roti
Because portions are 'undeniably rather small,' these 'handkerchief-thin' breads are 'essential' for 'mopping up oozy puddles of rich ghee dal' and other sauces.
Raw Highland Beef Pepper Fry
A 'fragrant' and 'experimental' dish that features fermented Tellicherry peppercorns and a peanut sauce so good critics claim they would 'happily bathe in it.'
Preserved Mango Kulfi
Presented in the 'shape of a Magnum ice cream,' this 'silky-sweet and soothing' dessert is hailed as the 'perfect finale' to the meal's spicier elements.

Good to know
The space is narrow and intimate, best suited for pairs rather than large groups. Be prepared for Mayfair prices as the small plates add up quickly.
