Farzi London is an Indian restaurant that aims to do things a little bit differently. It was originally brought to London by restaurateur Zorawar Kalra, the founder of restaurant group Massive Restaurants, who owns a range of restaurants across the capital that aim to showcase the evolution of Indian cuisine. Farzi London is best described as a modern Indian bistro, serving innovative, avant-garde dishes that offer a culinary journey across what is known as 'undivided India'.
That's right, the restaurant's fresh, newly-launched concept looks at a breadth of countries from Afghanistan and Bangladesh, to the Maldives and Nepal alongside many more, which were once all recognised as a singular nation. With new menus, the team looks to honour the idea of one India, bringing together flavour references and cooking methods from across all of these cuisines and cultures.
Enjoy trying the sizzling kebabs usually served in the bustling streets of Lucknow, or indulge in the legendary chaats of Chandni Chowk, a storied market district at the heart of Old Delhi. Oh, and be sure to try the succulent, slow-cooked stew Nalli Nihari from Lahore in the north of Punjab, found along the River Ravi. The team are also proud of how they've given new life to time-honoured cooking techniques and explore the likes of Dum cooking which using a slow, steaming method from Awadhi culture, as well as Sigri which grills meats over a charcoal fire.
Farzi London also boasts a talented bar team who have worked closely with some of London’s most celebrated mixologists to create its signature serves.
