The 20 Best Indian Restaurants In London - London - The Infatuation
"At Shankeys, the mood is always set to revelry. The Irish-Indian restaurant in Hackney is fuelled by Barry’s Tea-gronis and filled with groups demolishing chintzy plates of spicy cauliflower and cheese parathas. Although it’s not the place to come for a basic butter chicken, the short menu is all hits, whether you’re cheersing Carlingford oysters or szechuan scallion ghee-smothered crispy potatoes. Sister pub-restaurant The Raglan in Walthamstow serves excellent Indian-Irish dishes too. Take a deep breath, and put the plan you had to one side. It’s best to approach the Shankeys booking system without a set date in mind. There are reservations available, but rarely on the date you wanted. Also know that even at 6pm or 9:30pm—it’s plenty lively. If emotional gambling doesn’t make you want to dry heave, you can also manifest boldly and hit the ‘notify’ bell on their booking platform." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager, sinead cranna
