Paro Restaurant – Review
From Calcutta to Covent Garden Restaurateur, Niaz Caan, is not one to rest on his laurels.

BKC Soho – Indian in the heart of London
A Culinary Oasis of Awadhi Flavours in the Heart of London Soho Typically, I don’t think of Soho as a hub for Indian restaurants.

Copper Chimney – Review
Stylish Indian dining at Copper Chimney, Shepherds Bush It used to be that ‘smart’ Indian dining meant a trip to Chelsea or Belgravia to eat at Tamarind, Kahani, Zaika, Benares or Chutney Mary. The same food could often be found in Southall for a fraction of the price, but I guess that isn’t the point. […]
