Set against the waterfront in Canary Wharf, Grand Cholan Indian Restaurant offers versatile venue hire with panoramic views, flexible event spaces and menus centred around authentic Tamil cuisine. Suitable for everything from conferences and corporate parties to birthdays, anniversaries and drinks receptions, the venue combines contemporary interiors with vibrant South Indian cooking and tailored event packages.
Events can be hosted across multiple areas of the restaurant depending on group size and style. The ground floor accommodates up to 60 seated guests, while the first-floor dining space can host a further 40 guests with elevated views across the Thames and Docklands. Guests can also hire the venue exclusively for up to 100 people, with access to the outdoor balcony seating area during warmer months.
Floor-to-ceiling arched windows bring plenty of natural light into the restaurant and create a bright, open atmosphere overlooking the water. Neutral tiled floors, industrial-style pendant lighting and cushioned seating give the venue a clean, contemporary feel, while dark wood panelling and a botanical-style feature wall with cascading flowers soften the space.
Menus can be customised to suit both formal dining events and more relaxed celebrations. Guests can begin with starters such as poppadoms, samosas, paneer tikka and lamb chops before moving into South Indian curries including village lamb shank curry, Keralan fish curry, mango king prawn curry, egg masala and aloo gobi. Extensive dosa and paratha selections are also available with vegetarian, chicken and lamb fillings, alongside rice dishes, naan breads and sides such as yellow dhal and Bombay aloo.
Drinks packages can include champagne, sparkling wines, cocktails, mocktails, beers and wines, while desserts such as gulab jamun and chocolate dosa provide a traditional finish to events. Family-friendly facilities, outdoor seating and bespoke event packages make the venue suitable for a wide range of occasions throughout the year.
