We all know and love good Indian food but it can be a task looking for the real thing. As a londoner, i've made a list of the what are the most authentic indian restaurants in London today. I'm not interested in location, the size of the establishment or their advertising budget.
The only thing that counts here is the taste of the food. Is it real or is it a corrupted version tailor made to suit the tastes of the european palate? Lets journey on. |
Dishoom Shoreditch
|
THE OLD IRANI CAFÉS of Bombay have almost all disappeared. Their faded elegance welcomed all: rich businessmen, sweaty taxi-wallas and courting couples. Fans turned slowly. Bentwood chairs were reflected in stained mirrors, next to sepia family portraits. Students had breakfast. Families dined. Lawyers read briefs. Writers found their characters.
Opened early last century by Zoroastrian immigrants from Iran, there were almost four hundred cafés at their peak in the 1960s. Now, fewer than thirty remain. Their loss is much mourned by Bombayites.
Dishoom Shoreditch is the most popular Indian resataurant in London today. Teir cuisine has been passed down from the old Bombay Style north indian restaurants and the restuarants food, service and overall ambience are second to none

From the deep south of India comes Dosa, Idli and an entire range of health conscious cuisines that date back a few thousand years. This cuisine is becoming more popular in the United States and England. It is well known for its ayurvedic properties and the health one is blessed with after following a vegetarian diet.
Chennai Dosa is the premier establishment worlwide for Dosa and South Indian cuisine and my personal faveourite is this restaurant in High Street North.
Their chefs are clearly well trained in producing these items and the restaurant has reputation for producing authentic south indian food amongst the local tamils, tourists from europe and the central london dining crowd.
It just goes to show that good south indian cusine has no boundaries!
Pictured are some south indian delicacies available at Chennai Dosa.
