Tendril is a plant-first restaurant just moments from Oxford Circus, offering flexible private dining and group dining experiences centred around seasonal vegetables and creative cooking.
Founded by chef Rishim Sachdeva, the restaurant was born from a Veganuary challenge and has since built a reputation for showcasing what’s possible when vegetables take centre stage. Whether you’re planning a birthday celebration, corporate dinner, client event or group gathering with friends, Tendril offers private dining options for a range of occasions.
Groups of 21 to 30 guests can book the Tendril's dedicated Back Room, while larger parties of 31 to 52 guests can enjoy exclusive use of the entire restaurant and bar. The interiors are distinctive and atmospheric, with colour-washed terracotta walls and ceilings creating a warm, cocooning feel throughout the space. Deep blue tiling and booth seating provide contrast, while rich wooden furniture, globe pendant lighting, table lamps and carefully curated artwork add character and warmth.
Private dining menus at Tendril change regularly according to the seasons and are built around produce sourced from small suppliers. Private dining guests can expect inventive plant-focused dishes such as chilled pea soup, pickled aubergine dip with coriander, white bean spread with chilli and grilled asparagus skewers. Larger plates might include mustard mushroom skewers with fresh herb salad, charred aubergine with tahini, Napa cabbage fritters with kimchi dust and gnocchi with wild mushrooms. Sides such as grilled broccoli, smoked potatoes, salads and house pickles complete the offering.
Alongside the evening menu, Tendril also offers brunch, lunch and early bird menus for daytime events. Sample brunch dishes include butter bean parfait, smoked aubergine with lemon tahini and puffed rice, and grilled beetroot with burnt garlic feta yoghurt, followed by desserts such as sesame chocolate mousse with tahini. An extensive wine list features sparkling, white, rosé, and red wines available by the glass or bottle.
