"Will Bowlby and Rik Campbell’s mini-chain started life in a Pop Brixton shipping container, then put down roots in Soho, and opened this White City branch in the revamped Television Centre a year ago. The venue is wrongly billed as ‘Ango-Indian’ — it doesn’t serve food of the Anglo-Indian community and is, in fact, British-Indian. This is the largest branch so far, with bright contemporary interior, comfy booths, open-view kitchen, and plant-filled terrace. There would probably be a riot if samphire pakoras were ever taken off the menu; and it’s easy to see why the tempura-like sticks of saline, bright green minerality, beautifully contrasted with a tamarind drizzle, have been such a hit. Another popular dish of Kerala fried chicken is also available; and the bigger menu at this branch offers rich pork shoulder vindaloo to share. Kricket is a good example of Indian food filtered through non-Indian lenses, done with knowledge and respect." - Sejal Sukhadwala
