Indian Moment

Tucked into Battersea rise, Indian Moment has been welcoming diners since 2003 with an inviting blend of polish and warmth. Award-winning and proudly hospitable, it pairs attentive service with a relaxed, convivial spirit. Guests can even bring their own bottles for a modest corkage, making occasions feel tailor-made without fuss.

The kitchen roams across India’s regions with confidence and care. Aromas from the tandoor announce Banjara Chicken Tikka, while slow-cooked indulgence arrives with Lucknowi Lamb Shank. Fragrant rice takes centre stage in Hyderabadi Kachi Biryani and Murgh Dum Biryani, and coastal cravings are met by a creamy, coconut-laced Goan seafood curry and a punchy Kerala fish curry. Those seeking comfort might lean into chicken tikka masala or lamb passanda nawabi; heat-seekers will find their stride with a fiery vindaloo or a classic madras.

The mood suits both celebrations and midweek moments. Sharing platters invite a graze through crisp samosa, onion bhaji, seekh kebab and chicken tikka, while tandoori king prawns arrive on a sizzler to turn heads. For a little of everything, a thali keeps decisions deliciously simple, rounded out with saffron pilau rice and poppadoms with chutneys.

Settle in, bring good company (and perhaps a favourite bottle), and let the spices do the talking. After all, every evening here is an Indian moment worth savouring.
