Drummond Villa

A beautiful homage to Indian cooking in Kings Cross, Drummond Villa is drumming up plenty of chatter about its authentic plates and its bustling bistro.

A hive of action in London's central borough, Drummond Villa enjoys a cosy, intimate vibe owing to the size of its restaurant in which guests dine in close proximity to others. Replicating all the hustle and bustle of its main inspiration, Drummond excites the senses and encourages new connections.

The mains takes us on an extraordinary journey through India's vast landmass. From up north in Punjab come the balti dishes, all bursting with garlic, ginger and spiced tomatoes. Choose between chicken, lamb tikka, king prawn or vegetables and mop every last drop with a giant naan. Heading south now and we have the biriyanis. A treasure from Hyderabad, these fragrant rice dishes can be customised how you like and get better with each overambitious spoonful.

Alternatively, opt for any other Indian staple, like a comforting bhuna, madras, vindaloo or saag, all available with chicken, lamb and seafood. Or go vegetarian with sag aloo, chana masala or soothing daal. Then wash it down with a refreshing Cobra, relax and prepare to drum up the courage to face your food coma. We've all been there!
