Best Indian Restaurants in London

Best Indian Restaurants in London

Anne Chua
Have you ever wondered why there are so many Indian restaurants in London? India and the UK have a long and unique shared history. Today, 1.8 million people in the UK are of Indian descent, making London one of the largest worldwide hubs for Indian cuisine. Because of the long shared history, Indian cuisine in the UK is also uniquely British. For example, try the bacon naan roll at Dishoom. Below, are some of my personal favourites (I’ve been to all of them) which include both classic Indian cuisine as well as some more modern interpretations. Follow @anneotherhuangryasian on Instagram for more food recs! I hope you enjoy this guide. Any tips would be appreciated 😊

Dishoom Shoreditch

When you ask people what to eat in London, without a doubt, Dishoom is always one of the restaurants that is recommended. Be sure to get their unlimited Chai (before 5pm). The different Dishoom branches also have their individual special dishes so check out the online menu.

I have yet to try this place, however, has been highly recommended by lots of people with a Michelin star for contemporary Indian food! It is definitely on my list to go.
