Recently, Last week, I had the chance to experience something truly special—an authentic Indian feast at Chokhi Dhani, one of London’s top-rated Indian restaurants. Let me take you on this delicious journey, where the vibrant flavors of India meet the dining vibes of London.
Stepping into Chokhi Dhani
When I walked in, I felt like I was back in India. The walls were adorned with traditional Indian paintings, bursting with colors and culture. The ambiance was warm, relaxing, and perfect for a memorable dining experience.
And let’s talk about the view—nestled at 2 Riverlight Quay, the restaurant offers a stunning riverside location, just a short walk from Battersea Power Station.
The Culinary Adventure Begins
We started with the Dal Kachori and Samosa Chaat, both of which were packed with flavors and had that nostalgic street food charm.
Then came the showstopper: the Maharaja Thali. This wasn’t just a meal; it was a celebration of Indian cuisine. The thali was beautifully plated, with each dish carefully arranged. Here’s what we indulged in:
Laal Maas: A fiery Rajasthani lamb dish that packed a punch of spices.
Jodhpuri Murgh: Tender chicken cooked with aromatic spices.
Gatte Curry: Soft gram flour dumplings in a rich curry.
Panchmelli Dal: A comforting mix of five lentils.
Bati & Churma: Perfectly baked wheat balls served with a sweet jaggery crumble.
Accompaniments like Missi Roti, Bajra Rotla, and Garlic Chutney completed the thali.
One of my personal favorites was the Ratan Manjusa, a vegetarian delight of cottage cheese balls stuffed with garlic and spinach, served in a luscious tomato gravy with soft Garlic Coriander Naan.
Sweet Endings
We finished the meal with two heavenly desserts:
Malpua with Rabri: Crispy pancakes soaked in syrup, topped with thick, creamy Rabri.
Chocolate Sphere: A luxurious blend of pistachio cake, millet brittle, and organic milk ice cream.
A Dining Experience to Cherish
Chokhi Dhani gave me a taste of India while being miles away from home. The traditional plating, the rich aromas, and the attention to detail made it an experience I’ll never forget. Dining here felt like a celebration of Indian culture in the heart of London.
If you’re in London and craving authentic Indian food, I highly recommend Chokhi Dhani. Whether it’s for a casual dinner or a special occasion in their premium private dining rooms, it’s sure to be an unforgettable experience.
