Well-backed by reviews and repeat mentions.

A raucous, cramped, and energetic celebration of home-style Indian small plates where the flavors are as loud as the room.

Ordering Strategy

This is strictly a sharing concept; order 3-4 dishes per person. The Spitalfields location is tiny and loud, so expect a fast-paced meal.

What to order

Safe first

Kashmiri Lamb Chops

Acclaimed by Andy Hayler as 'one of the best versions' he has tasted, these chops are so popular that CN Traveler notes guests often end up 'fighting over them and ordering more.'

Hungry

Chettinad Pulled Duck

A 'not to miss' highlight served with homemade oothappam; it is a rich, substantial, and messy small plate that defines the restaurant's vibrant family-style cooking.

Wildcard

Spicy Venison and Vermicelli Doughnut

The Independent describes this signature dish as a 'plump golden tennis ball' encrusted with 'splinters of crunchy noodle' and filled with rich, gamey meat.

Wildcard

Whole broccoli grilled on a sigree with mustard

An unexpected vegetable triumph that Andy Hayler called 'genuinely good' for its texture, while other critics 'adored' the smoky, mustard-laced flavor profile.

What to skip

Skip
Kerala Beef Pepper FryMaintained from existing data as multiple reports describe the meat as dry and a 'slog to eat' compared to the more successful tandoori and game options.

Good to know

The original Spitalfields site is very small and often has a queue; the Tower Bridge and Soho locations are larger and take reservations more easily.
