[[secretlondon]] visited with a group one Wednesday evening in July 2016. We hadn't booked, but there was no problem finding us a table. |
They do two options called tapari which provide a range of dishes for groups. Gurkha Dinner Tapari (£31.50) is grilled meat, chicken and prawn for 2. Vegetable tapari (£13.75) is a selection of 4 vegetarian dishes. Sadly none of my group wanted to share but they look like good options if others are willing. |

We were given complementary spicy crackers when we sat down. I had a starter of momos (£3.90), mayur lamb (£8.25), palungo sag (£4.50), steamed rice (£2.75) and bottle of gurkha beer. I presumed ordering a starter and two mains that it would too much food, but actually it was almost not enough. One general feedback from the group was that it was underspiced. The waitress talked someone into ordering a less hot version of a dish and it was too mild, and my hot mayur lamb just wasn't. My spinach dish was interesting - it was whole leaf rather than pureed. The gurkha beer was uninteresting lager. |

Our group generally felt that the food was underspiced. The waitress talked someone into ordering a less-hot version of a dish and it ended up too mild, and my hot mayur lamb just wasn't hot at all. My spinach dish was interesting — it was whole leaf rather than pureed. The Gurkha beer was just uninteresting lager. |
