Located in the heart of Fitzrovia and modelled on the cultural melting pot of communal living, commonly known as 'building societies' in Bombay, is Pahli Hill Bandra Bhai. Named after an old city neighbourhood, Pahli Hill offers the finest regional Indian small plates, derived from home recipes and traditional techniques, made to share in an informal setting. The upstairs restaurant celebrates an eclectic mix of flavours from every corner of the country. A celebration of community and exchange, eating well and informally, of warmth and sharing. Downstairs, find Bandra Bhai, a retro Indian smuggler’s den. Full of trinkets, foreign liquor, gaudy art, and velvet upholstery, this groovy basement spot serves the best cocktails in London.
