Harden's says
Chef Chet Sharma (ex-Ledbury and Moor Hall) has opened a contemporary Indian restaurant in Mayfair, with backing from the JKS Restaurants group, with whom he's worked for several years. ‘Bibi’ translates in Urdu as ‘lady of the house’, and is used as a term of endearment for grandmothers across the Indian subcontinent. Sharma's "playful menu" is "influenced by the street carts and roadside cafés from Punjab in the north, to Kerala in the south".
Harden's survey result
Summary
“Absolute ‘god tier level’ from start to finish!” – JKS Restaurants have totally nailed it once again with this “novel” autumn 2021 newcomer, which inhabits the “tiny but convivial space” on the fringe of Mayfair that was formerly Truc Vert (RIP); and which has now become “a high-end homage to old-school curry houses, including flock wallpaper!”. Chef Chet Sharma delivers “an amazing original riff on classic Indian flavours” with “a range of new and vibrant dishes” that are “truly memorable” and “an utter joy”. Service is “impeccable and well informed” too and the press have utterly raved (Grace Dent called it “part genius and clearly part subversive”; Giles Coren awarded ‘11/10’) – so, it’s “a rare example of a restaurant where every broadsheet reviewer had got it exactly right!”
Summary
A new autumn 2021 arrival in the JKS stable of market-leading Indians – Trishna, Gymkhana, Brigadiers – a high-end project, this time on the Mayfair site that used to be Truc Vert (long RIP). Chef Chet Sharma leads the kitchen, which is to showcase upmarket modern Indian cuisine and the flavours of South Asia, using the best ingredients.
For 32 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).
