Yaatra

Indian dining just got turned up a notch in Westminster. Housed in the old fire brigade building that overlooks the borough in all its redbrick glory, Yaatra is the new face of Indian fine dining in central London.

Expectations are high before you even walk through their flower-garlanded doors. Like walking into a lavish fairytale, Yaatra has become renowned for its regal appearance. Clothed in rich reds and maroons, as well as dramatic arch-high flower garlands that swish and sway with every passer-by, Yaatra is how you might imagine the interior of the Taj Mahal to look like. Intimate with its classic white tableclothed tables, saloon-like furniture and cosy cubbyholes for anyone who fancies a bit of privacy, Yaatra is designed with every pleasure seeker in mind.

Now that you're seated, allow Chef Amit Bagyal to guide you through India's wild and wonderful landscapes. Start your evening off in style with small portions of lobster thokku masala, calamari pepper fry and blue cheese malai chicken, all of which play with bold flavours without ruining the integrity of the main ingredient.

As for mains, look to the chef's classics where you'll find some truly unique offerings like Kerela fried turbot with coconut sambal, Awaghi lamb shank biriyani and butter chicken done the Deli way. From the tandoor come meat and vegetarian platters, as well as marinated venison keema and tandoori apricot paneer. Always pushing the boundaries of Indian cuisine, Yaatra is going above and beyond to deliver an unforgettable dining experience.
