Harden's says
A North Indian street food café on Soho's ever-bustling Shaftesbury Avenue, tucked away next to The Piccadilly Hotel, where classic Roomali Roti are hand spun, cooked and folded into 'hankies'.
Harden's survey result
Summary
In the heart of Theatreland, this Indian street-food operation is focused on dishes served with ‘hankies’ – hand-spun roti folded around the dish – and still receives good marks (if from a limited number of reports). There used to be offshoots in Marble Arch and Paddington, but both have closed over the last couple of years.
For 33 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).
