Harden's says
Due to open in early lockdown, but successfully pivoted to deliveries, Attawa is now a proper restaurant, owned by Ravinder and Amar Madhray with modern Punjabi food from Arbinder Duggal, a semi-finalist on MasterChef: The Professionals in 2019.
Harden's survey result
Summary
Opening in mid-2020 into the storm of early lockdown, this Dalston Indian serves modern Punjabi food prepared by Arbinder Duggal, a semi-finalist on MasterChef: The Professionals in 2019. It’s named for the owners' home village in north India and serves recipes sourced from friends and family in the area. One early reporter’s take: “interesting and delicious small plates to start, main courses not quite as good. But friendly service and nice ambience make this a welcome addition to the local restaurant scene”.
For 31 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"Very solid representative of the by now not quite so new wave of modern Indian restaurants - probably the best of them in this part of town."
