“An interesting menu of Indian street-food” that is both “good value and delicious” has long been an attraction at this dependable spot near Selfridges. It’s probably “best suited for lunch” to punctuate a day’s shopping nearby (the evenings-only dining room is a little more formal, serving tandoor grills and regional specialities).

“A great place to relish the street food of India”, this two-storey operation near Selfridges was ahead of the curve in championing the cooking of the subcontinent’s street hawkers, roadside stalls and station canteens, when it first opened.

Inspired by street and railway station snacks on the subcontinent, this “large modern Indian”, a short stroll from Selfridges, has built a big fanclub thanks to its “marvellous” and “authentic” bites that are “full of interesting flavours”. But while reporters agree on the high quality of the food, they are divided about where is best to sit – is it the “good-value” upstairs café, or “classy” basement restaurant?

"Perfect location for a post museum lunch. Staff are helpful when making choices. Wide range of options to explore. Good range of dishes to share as portions generous. Can be a bit noisy."
