Indian restaurant · Soho

@infatuation

"While Darjeeling Express has wildly outgrown its original intimate supper club roots, the Kingly Court spot hasn’t lost its homely feel. And chef-owner Asma Khan still plays host, checking on diners and bringing raita to cool the excellently spicy Bengali aloo dam. 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 kind of night. Book dinner for the colourful set menu thali which is a highlight reel of Darjeeling Express’ best dishes—including a silky, orange-hued prawn malaikari that pairs perfectly with the fluffy puri.  " - jake missing, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager, sinead cranna
