A dimly-lit, bustling spot merging the smoky flavors of a North Indian eatery with the hearty meat focus of a classic British chop house.
Ordering Strategy
Order a spread of small plates like the seekh kebab and bhaji onion rings, choose a tandoor meat to share, and experiment with the stuffed naans. For groups, the Mighty Thali is a fantastic sharing feast.
What to order
Seekh Kebab Roll
A favorite of critics and diners alike, this 'robustly spiced' minced lamb kebab is served on a well-blistered naan with pomegranate seeds and a mint sauce that helps 'tame the dish'.
Amritsari Crispy Lamb Chops
These chops are famously marinated 'within an inch of their lives' and cooked in fierce heat to ensure tender meat with a heavy, flavorful char.
Dexter 'dripping' keema naan
Hailed by The Guardian as the 'best dish' on the menu, it features a charred flatbread piled high with intense, 'highly spiced minced beef'.
