The India - Leicester Square

Located just moments from Leicester Square in Central London, The India - Leicester Square brings together classic subcontinental cooking and a polished, welcoming atmosphere suited to both quick pre theatre meals and long, relaxed dinners. The menu leans into familiar favourites done well, balancing rich spice with depth and warmth rather than overpowering heat.

The meal often begins at the grill, where sheek kebab and chicken tikka arrive smoky and tender from the tandoor, marinated with fragrant spices and cooked over open flames. From there, the kitchen moves through a wide range of curry house staples, from creamy tikka masala chicken to slow cooked bhuna lamb, each layered with aromatic flavour and comforting richness.

For diners wanting variety, the thali selections offer an easy way to explore the menu. The Madras Xpress Thali and Tikka Xpress Thali pair curries with classic sides such as sag aloo and Bombay aloo, creating a generous spread designed for sharing. Elsewhere, mixed platters give way to house favourites including korma, seafood curries and spinach based dishes, all served with an unfussy approach that keeps the focus firmly on flavour. In one of London’s busiest corners, The India Leicester Square offers a warm, satisfying escape built around the enduring appeal of great Indian cooking.
