Kanishka by Atul Kochhar

Atul Kochhar's Mayfair restaurant on Maddox Street gathers regional dishes from across India, North-East India especially, and gives them a contemporary twist, with wine and whisky pairings matched to every plate.

The story

The twice Michelin-starred chef runs the kitchen alongside Executive Chef Ashok Kumar. Dishes include an Anglo-Indian chicken tikka pie, Devon crab bonda, tandoor-smoked lamb and pan-fried salmon with raisin chutney. Naan arrives steaming in a wooden box, and desserts run from dark chocolate tart and coconut cake to Bhapa Doi, a mango yogurt mousse with berries and cardamom crisps. Whisky gets particular attention in honour of India's most popular spirit. It is poured neat, mixed into cocktails or paired with dishes, alongside signature cocktails made partly with Atul Kochhar branded spirits. The ground-floor dining room has a lively, glamorous feel, while private rooms take groups from eight up to 100. A weekend brunch runs to around ten courses, a few minutes' walk from Regent Street and Oxford Circus.
