Step inside Yogi’s Asian fusion restaurant in Kensington, and you’ll be met with gorgeous decor, golden tones, and a sense of calm pulled straight from nature. Think earthy, immersive, and unapologetically chic. By day, Yogi’s is a sunlit sanctuary, but by night, the restaurant transforms into an intimate hideaway. Tempted? We think so.
To begin your meal, take a look at the selection of appetizers. You'll find small bowls of marinated olives and spiced mixed masala nuts, along with a basket of poppadoms, edamame beans, and bigger starter dishes. These include lobster prawn toast, achari paneer cottage cheese and lamb chops. The chef's signature mains include the luxurious, like lobster thermidor and salmon with black tiger prawns, to traditional dishes such as a ribeye steak and amritsari style fish and chips, and plenty of delicious curries and biryanis.
To plump up your meal, order a selection of breads and rice. You can choose from a date and pistachio naan, coconut and cashew fried rice, and sticky mango jasmine pilaf rice. There's a perfectly cooked dish of pink rock shrimp tempura and chicken 65 off the tandoor and grill, which are accompanied beautifully by the wilted mustard greens, truffle mash and dal makhani. With so many wonderful dishes to choose from, it would be impossible to just pick one.
Last but not least, you'll spot rice and noodle accompaniments, like the prawn and pineapple fried rice, stir fried beef and broccoli, and udon noodles. If you're sticking around for something sweet, order the gajar halwa spring roll, rich chocolate fondant, or indulgent cheese board. If it’s something light you’re looking for, choose a scoop of ice cream or sorbet – there’s coconut chocolate chip, blood orange, mango, Madagascan vanilla and dark chocolate.
