A critique of the recently rebuilt Soho Indian of long standing, where the head chef's “determination that this old Soho institution is not just a curry house” results in “imaginative” and “amazing” cuisine.

2/5 stars
As the critic notes, this venerable Soho spot (1983) – recently refurbished – was “one of London’s first destinations for posh Indian nosh”. Its menu is “relatively short”, but “full of top-notch British ingredients given a delicious-sounding Indian twist”. “In theory, then, The Red Fort has a lot going for it. But it has a fatal flaw: its prices are audaciously, heinously, outrageously high”. Extras, in particular, inflate the bill “at an alarming rate”.
