Hotels near Bombay Brasserie

First opened in London in 1982, the Bombay Brasserie had a refresh in 2015 reasserting it as one of London's finest Indian restaurants. Using natural coal to infuse a smoky flavour in classic dishes, the menu offers choices of venison roast cooked in ginger, spices and coconut slivers, as well as prawn hara pyaz ka (black tiger prawns, spring onions, scallions, tomatoes and spices). Old favourites like Palak Patta Chaat (crispy fried baby spinach, yoghurt, date and tamarind chutney) and Baingan Bharta (smoked aubergine mash, cumin, chilli, and coriander leaves) are, thankfully, still here. Interiors - done up in a luxurious, colonial style - make use of woodwork sourced from India and Portugal, plantation shutters, traditional ceiling fans, customised brass lamps from Moradabad and there's a special hand-painted mural on the wall of the tropical orangery, the conservatory dining room which can seat up to 84 diners in its elegant curved, glass-roofed space.
