Harden's survey result
Summary
“The most flavourful Indian food (adapted from seasonal British ingredients)”, served in a “fun tapas-style by friendly staff”, is a formula that has come up trumps for Rik Campbell and Will Bowlby, who opened their first subcontinental-inspired street-food operation in a shipping container in 2015. They now have permanent sites in Soho, Brixton and White City, where the small plates are served in “modern and cool” interiors with a “convivial atmosphere”. Top Tip: “Iberico ham vindaloo is stunning”.
Summary
“So many layers of taste… a throwback to living in India” – their “fantastic take on subcontinental flavours and textures” has helped blaze a trail for Rik Campbell and Will Bowby’s street-food brand. Since mid-2015, their “always interesting and very tasty” bites have taken them from a Pop Brixton shipping container to three permanent outlets in Soho, Brixton and White City’s TV Centre. “Busy” Soho in particular is “great for counter dining”. Top Menu Tips – “spot-on bhel puri”, “fab chai, dazzling deep-fried chicken and delicious halwa”.

Summary
“A strong modern twist on Indian flavours and good vibes all round” make Rik Campbell and Will Bowlby’s “hustling and fast-paced” Soho dive (“it’s not a place to linger”) a worthy success to their phenomenal Brixton original (in a shipping container) – “one of the most successful switches from street food to a central London restaurant in recent times, while still keeping everything well-priced”. Let’s hope they keep up the good work with their expansion this year, with a permanent Brixton branch, plus a new White City spin-off, which opened at TV Centre in late September 2018.
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).
