Yaatra modern Indian food by Chef Amit Bagyal in Londons Westminster

There are so many tasty Indian restaurants within London but if you are looking for something that is near Westminster then I highly recommend Yaatra which is just a short walk from London Victoria.

Yaatra is set within a Grade II listed Edwardian Old Westminster Fire Station.

Modern Indian food is cooked by Executive Chef Amit Bagyal and his team.

Within Yaatra you can enjoy modern dishes such as Darjeeling momos, Coorg beef shukka, Khubani paneer tikka, Madurai seabass & clam kiri hodi, Nilgiri lamb rack with tempered potato salad & honey glazed carrot, Garhwal goat osso bucco with Himalayan spices, and so much more.

Yaatra also has an extensive wine list which has 103 labels to choose from.

In London alone, apparently there more Indian restaurants in the city than within Mumbai and Delhi combined according to the Times of India. In fact within the UK there are over 10,000 Indian restaurants to dine at. Indian dishes usually consist of spices, herbs, vegetables and fruits.

However with there being so many Indian restaurants within London and the UK in fact it can be quite hard to know which to dine at but have you ever dined at one which is run by a Michelin-Star Chef?

I was lucky enough to be invited to visit twice Michelin-Star Chef Atul Kochhar newest restaurant Masalchi, which has hit London’s Wembley Park.

With eight restaurants within the UK (and more to come) he has been the forefront of the culinary industry for over 25 years. Now he brings to London his ninth restaurant Masalchi.

Atul serves up dishes which are a combination of traditional and regional Indian recipes, along with quality spices and other ingredients from India and locally bringing a British flair to the plate.
