Kricket Soho

You're walking down Denman Street in the heart of Soho, dodging the usual tourist traps, when you spot the queue outside Kricket. That's your sign you're onto something good. Inside, it's tight, buzzy, and genuinely fun—not trying too hard, just nailing it. The kitchen does clever things with Indian flavours without the pretension: expect spiced lamb, crispy breads, and cocktails that actually complement the food. It's the kind of place where locals genuinely want to go back, and the ratings reflect that. Service moves quickly despite the squeeze, which only adds to the energy.
