Aamcha offers flexible private dining in Radlett for everything from milestone birthdays and anniversaries to engagement parties, corporate dinners and drinks receptions. Groups can take over the entire restaurant, including its outdoor areas, or opt for a semi-private celebration, with food and drinks tailored to suit the occasion.
Exclusive hire accommodates between 25 and 50 guests for a seated lunch or dinner, while larger standing receptions can be arranged for up to 80. Semi-private dining is available for groups of up to 30. The colourful, eclectic interiors provide a relaxed backdrop, combining wooden tables with greenery, India-inspired artwork and pops of pink and other bright colours.
Food is a major part of the experience, and private dining menus can take several forms, from small plates and tasting menus to a more traditional multi-course dinner. The restaurant’s sociable format is particularly well suited to groups. A selection of starters is followed by generous mains served as a buffet, accompanied by rice, breads, dhal and chutneys.
A sample menu might begin with Mumbai-style pani puri and rice-crusted prawns with green and red dips. Mains could include Keralan fish moilee, a coconut fish curry with fresh greens, alongside butter chicken and five-spiced aubergine. Basmati rice, garlic and plain naan and tadka dhal complete the spread. Dessert can be plated individually or presented as a shared table where guests can help themselves, with up to two choices such as mango and pistachio kulfi or gulab jamun with saffron syrup.
Menus are a starting point rather than a fixed formula and can be adjusted for dietary requirements, seasonal availability and individual preferences. Wines and cocktails with South Asian twists are available alongside beer, lassis, juices, soft drinks, teas and coffees, with cocktails including Negronis and Bellinis. The best part? Every package includes exclusive venue hire, unlimited food from a curated sharing menu, and a full open bar throughout for four hours
