You're walking past the usual Hampstead parade of chains when you spot Bonoo, and honestly, it's a proper breath of fresh air. This is Indian food stripped back to what matters: impeccable spicing, quality ingredients, and portions designed for sharing. The tapas concept works brilliantly here—you're not locked into a three-course ritual, just order what calls to you, maybe try four or five small plates across an evening. The room itself feels lived-in and warm, the kind of place where locals actually sit at the bar and chat to staff who genuinely know their stuff.
