This “great (if pricey) institution” near Gloucester Road tube station is often forgotten, but still delights its small fan club with “proper Indian food – each dish has a different and very authentic flavour”. The excellence is no surprise given its ownership by the luxury Taj Hotels group. What would it take to regain its huge 1980s renown? – perhaps there are just too many quality Indians nowadays.
