Chai Ki, Canary Wharf

Chai Ki brings a splash of colour to the endless walls grey and glass in Canary Wharf with its delicious menu of authentic Indian food!

Who…/

Rohit Chugh, founder of the excellent Roti Chai by Oxford Street.

The Menu.../

Located alongside its Indian streetfood inspired sister restaurant, Toddy Shop, Chai Ki offers a seriously tempting menu of hearty home-style dishes.

Must try dishes include some gently spiced and grilled Paneer with an incredible Indo-chinese style dipping sauce; an unapologetically rich and hearty Lamb shoulder curry; and best of all, the Crispy aromatic prawns swimming in a shallow pool of the most delicious coconut sauce imaginable; it's was so moreish, we ordered an extra nan just to soak up the sauce!  Even desserts were impressive, included a feather-light cheesecake. Smaller plates cost around £7 whilst the generous mains will set you back around £16.

Drinks…/

Cocktails are also inspired by the spice and coconut-studded coastlines, with signatures including the Chai and Orange Martini; Mango Caipirinha; and the Pineapple Gin-Ji.

The Vibe…/ The stripped back, industrial design of the venue creates a relaxed venue in which to enjoy a few nibbles and a drink or a blowout meal.

We went and here's why you should go.../

Cos after 50 years of curry houses, authentic Indian food is now taking over.  Dishes like the Coconut prawns are worthy of a trip on their own! Oh, and after the plethora of recent high-profile restaurant openings, Canary Wharf and it's surrounding area finally gets a proper Indian restaurant.
