Best Contemporary Indian Restaurants in Gospel Oak

Kahani has for a while now been our go-to Indian restaurant when we are in Central London. We went there on Sunday 08 Nov 2026 specifically for the Diwali celebration lunch.The menu had an interesting variety to it, well presented and enjoyable to dine on. The staff were as usual extremely helpful, friendly and attentive. Kahani ticks every box as far as we are concerned !! Looking forward to the next visit.

Tryst is a beautiful new cocktail bar tucked downstairs, and what a great find! Such an intimate space with a wonderful atmosphere. Devang was fantastic — crafting unique cocktails, making great conversation, and providing exceptional service. They also have a small snack menu to complement the drinks. A must-visit when in London if you appreciate creative cocktails and a more personal experience!

I'm a frequent visitor to Cinnamon Bazaar and have never been disappointed with anything I've eaten there. Vivek Singh always creates splendidly thoughtful dishes, both unusual and very tasty. Highly recommended.

Always a pleasure to eat here. The restaurant is small but comfortable, & the maitre d' is attentive, & provides clear descriptions of the dishes. Drinks are a bit pricey, but overall I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Unreal. As a Punjabi the food hits all the right notes and favours. The team are always second to none and whenever I’m in London it’s a must visit.
