“The food – roughly south Indian – is vibrant, well spiced and enticing” at this “new and welcome addition to Northcote Road” in Clapham: from the team behind Islington’s Tamil Prince and Tamil Crown. “Take ear plugs!” though as it is “super-noisy and trendy”: “the locals have welcomed it a bit too much as it’s always packed and hard to get a reservation!” Top Menu Tip – “masala dosa is crunchy with a spiced packed filling and the onion bhajis are crispy strands of yumminess”.

What the Newspaper Critics are saying

The Sunday Times

Charlotte Ivers was shocked to find the second branch of this south Indian, from the team behind nearby pub conversions Tamil Prince and Tamil Crown, packed out at 6pm on a Monday. But there were good reasons for the crowd: “This lot know how to do their cocktails”, the roti was buttery and flaky, and the small plates extremely generous.

“The waiter suggests five to eight dishes for two to share, which is great salesmanship. You could order way below that and still walk away satisfied… One dosa would be enough if you had a train to catch.”

Charlotte Ivers - 2025-03-23
