"The culinary equivalent to ballroom and bhangra dancers moving together in unison, here the looks, attitude, and functionality of a North Indian canteen is combined with the shimmering retro charms of a British chop house. The fast-casual venue near Covent Garden serves multiple purposes: suitable for a quick office lunch, solo meal, post-work dinner, or lingering Sunday lunch with a bunch of mates brave enough to take on the massive thali. Although the flavours are Punjabi, the textures are firmer, crisper, and more British in dishes such as whole tandoor-roasted cauliflower and Amritsari lamb chops. Quirky snacks like smoked cheddar and cassava kababs, and mackerel naan with tarragon cream cheese and green apples are wonderfully imaginative; and regular weekday thalis are good value for central London." - Sejal Sukhadwala
