Our mission is remarkably simple. To tell it how it is!

Ever-expanding Indian restaurant chain Dishoom is opening in Manchester. The group’s seventh branch will launch in Bridge Street’s historic Manchester Hall later this year.

The site follows the pair’s intimate 20-cover Shoreditch restaurant of the same name, which has proved a hit with our reporters thanks to its “surprising flavours” and “fantastic tapas-style dishes”.

So a definite improvement for […]

Soho’s “profoundly original” Indian street food spot Kricket will open a new restaurant this summer at Television Centre, the former home of the Beeb in White City.
