The Cricket Lounge is a vibrant Indian fine dining restaurant located in North Cheam, Sutton. Just a short drive from Wimbledon and Kingston, and easily accessible from central London, it’s a warm and welcoming spot where the love of cricket meets the joy of exceptional food and hospitality.
Founded by hospitality veteran Rohit Kaila, The Cricket Lounge is more than just a restaurant - it’s the realisation of a lifelong dream. The interiors are stylish and relaxed, with subtle nods to cricketing heritage and a rooftop terrace perfect for sunny afternoons. Whether you’re celebrating, unwinding, or simply enjoying a night out, the atmosphere is friendly and refined.
The menu is a celebration of pan-Indian cuisine, crafted by head chef Asrar (formerly of Dishoom and Taj Hotel Delhi). Signature dishes include Rajasthani lal maas, Kashmiri lamb chops, and the indulgent slow-cooked lamb raan. Seafood lovers will appreciate the tandoori king prawns and spicy crispy crab, while vegetarians can enjoy rich curries like paneer lababdar and malai kofta. The restaurant also offers a popular Friday and Saturday lunch thali and a Sunday buffet with rotating specials.
Drinks are equally impressive, with Indian-inspired cocktails, mocktails, premium spirits, and a curated wine list. Highlights include the passion fruit mojito and elderflower gin fizz, perfect companions to the bold flavours of the food.
North Cheam is a lively suburban area with a strong community feel, and The Cricket Lounge adds a splash of culinary sophistication to the local dining scene. With free parking front and rear, and a reputation for friendly service and flavour-packed dishes, it’s no wonder the restaurant is rated among the top Indian eateries in London and Surrey.
