Kricket Shoreditch - Kafé, Restaurant & Bar

we went as a group of 4 on Sunday at lunch. the food was superb, possibly the best chicken musallam I've ever had. the lamb shank was a big hit too. they come with a lot of sides, all of which are a fantastic accompaniment to the meats (special mention to their gunpowder potatoes ... just wow). great decor and ambience. very reasonably priced considering quality and quantity. service could be improved - the restaurant was only half full for the duration of our stay so we could have enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere, instead our waitress rushed us to order, then again rushed to clear plates when we still had food to finish. nobody pushed us to leave, but it would have been an overall better experience if service had been more chilled.

I had a great time at Kircket. The granola was delicious, definitely one of the nicest that I have had a in a long time. It is evident that they have put an enormous amount of thought into the menu. Also, as you enter the restaurant, the smell envelops you in the most wonderful aromatic hug. I do not think a restaurant has ever smelt this good! Rushi was exceptionally kind and attentive throughout the meal and really went above and beyond to make it a special experience. I am excited to go back and take the rest of the menu for a spin!

Hands down the best curry in London. Walk in to incredible pink interiors lit with the soft glow from pendants, creating a cosy atmosphere. The staff were lovely and helpful. Our table took a while to get ready so we were provided with complimentary snacks while we waited. The food I cannot comment on because it’s an experience and would be unfair for me to spoil it. If u go with a group I highly recommend sharing platter, great value for money with insane flavours. I’ll be back soon’

5 stars all round. We were warmly welcomed by the bar staff and immediately taken in by the spacious, beautifully designed interior. The menu is small but carefully curated, and every dish we ordered was exceptional. The pakoras were light, fluffy, and packed with flavour. Each dish arrived at the perfect pace, making for a seamless and relaxed lunch experience. Unlike many modern Indian restaurants, where portions can be disappointingly small, Kricket gets it just right. Every dish was generously portioned, and no one left hungry. The atmosphere is inviting, with a stylish pink-themed decor, elegant, not Barbie-esque. The service matched the quality of the food—attentive, friendly, and faultless from start to finish.

Incredible restaurant. Loved the food here. Chef Jay was super kind and super friendly. Glad to have come and visit this awesome restaurant. Had the lamb biryani which was delicious and filling, and I had the fried chicken as well. Would definitely come again.

A very interesting take on modern Indian food. We visited on a Sunday so there was a reduced menu. 4 starters, 3 mains & 1 dessert. The food was really really tasty. The lamb was sooo good & so was the cauliflower. My only complaint was the lamb was dry, could do with some more sauce. We will definitely return to try the full menu.

Most of the food was great, especially the vegetarian food. But the recommended 10-12 dishes for 5 people and the waiter encouraging us to double up on sides etc was way too much food so that we had a lot of leftovers. Almost all the food was great, apart from the steak, which wasn't particularly special, and the monkfish was disappointing, very dry and likely overcooked. Overall I would highly recommend Kricket but only order little and stick to vegetarian food mostly.

It is not very easy to write this review. on the one hand there was really great food. very tasty, flavorful - great to enjoy. the seat on the chefs-tabel was also quite fitting and showed dedicated and thoughtful cooks in the kitchen. one downside if the restaurant is full - it very loud. there is no soind treatment and there is constantly loud music in the "background". so - beside that - you would think an overall great experience. well until you have to pay. you are presented with a qr code to scan. you need a phone to pay your bill. but the thing that i find more than misleading are the prices on the menu because they are just wrong. on the menu it says there will be an OPTIONAL service fee of 13%. turns out it is not optional. once you are in the payment-process you can not change it - it is mandatory. which means the prices on the menu are 13% off. and then: when you klick pay they ask you again if you want to tip (again and on top of the 13%). at least now u can select "no tip". beside that there is also a seperatly charged platform-fee which is no where mentioned on the menu. some might not care. thats ok. the food is great. but for me this does spoil an otherwise great visit. so my ask/whish: be transparent and put the right prices from the start on the menu. dont fool customers like that. its not ok
