Vi-Va Indian Tapas

You're walking down Pelham Street towards the Lace Market and you spot Vi-Va tucked among the independent shops and galleries. Inside, it's the kind of place where you immediately understand why they've landed on the tapas format for Indian food—it works brilliantly. You're ordering three or four small plates instead of one massive curry, which means you get to taste more flavours and your mates aren't fighting over who gets the last piece of naan. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing with spice levels and technique, and at 4.5 stars across 575 reviews, people keep coming back because the food actually delivers.
