Desi-Chinese Food at Fatt Pundit Restaurant Comes to Soho | Eater London

"Opening in Soho at 77 Berwick Street on 11 March, this Indo‑Chinese (Desi‑Chinese) restaurant from the team behind Bombay Chow, Station 31 and Imperial Lounge aims to devote an entire menu to Indian‑Chinese food. The 60‑cover venue pairs interiors inspired by Tangra in Kolkata with a menu that includes Tibetan momos with novel meat and veggie fillings, shredded chilli venison, Hakka paneer lettuce cups and dishes dressed in a classic Indo‑Chinese Manchurian sauce. While the restaurant markets itself as offering a “new kind of food,” that claim arguably overstates the tradition’s long diasporic history; nevertheless, bringing a focused, central‑London showcase to this knotty intersection of authenticity and Chinese diaspora cuisines could help raise the profile of the style." - James Hansen
