"While Darjeeling Express has wildly outgrown its original supper club roots, the Kingly Court spot hasn’t lost its homely feel. Chef-owner Asma Khan still plays host, checking on diners and bringing raita to cool the spicy Bengali aloo bonde. The warm, terracotta room and intimate booths turn a casual lunch into a two-hour affair, and an after-work meal into a stay-until-closing night. Book dinner for the colourful set menu thali which is a highlight reel of Darjeeling Express’ best dishes." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager, sinead cranna
