A hidden gem I must say. Was visiting with some my my friends this summer when visiting London and was not let down. Ordered the pre-starter, paani poori with chaat to start with which kicked on our palate for the exciting mains. The starters in chicken, lamb & vegetarian were just so succulent & delicious that we could not have asked for more. The mains included Khada masala, manglorian chicken curry...
Food Wagon
It is always a happy day when you discover a new restaurant within comfortable walking distance of your home. And when it transpires that its chef is a Michelin-level trained Indian woman, who honed her skills at London’s high-end Indian restaurants, The Bombay Brasserie and its Michelin-starred sister restaurant Quilon, as well as having worked on the opening team of the very first Brasserie Blanc...
London-Unattached

Chef-Patron
Shilpa Dandekar
With passion for cooking Chef-Patron Shilpa Dandekar honed her skills as a Trainee Chef with India’s famed Taj hotel group.
Having arrived in the UK, Shilpa immediately took to cooking Modern British food in various pubs before embarking as a Sous Chef at London’s renowned Michelin-starred Indian restaurant Quilon. Following on from Quilon, Shilpa moved on to working under Raymond Blanc OBE, with whom she was part of the opening team for the very first Brasserie Blanc in London near Bank, before being promoted by him to become the Head Chef.
Subsequently, in 2014, Shilpa and Faheem opened a successful takeaway and home delivery unit in south west London before launching Pure Indian Cooking in Fulham.
“Freshness of ingredients and seasonality is something which is very important to me,” says Shilpa. “All the top chefs I’ve worked for have instilled this in me because the flavours of the dishes become much more distinct and enhanced by the usage of such produce. I also like to experiment and marry spices and tried and tested Indian flavours with quality British ingredients.”
