Ryath Indian Tandoori is a legendary Indian restaurant in London, having been established in 1967 and having retained its premium Paddington location ever since. The kitchen is staffed by expert chefs who’ve previously worked at The Oberon Mumbai, and the overarching philosophy is to provide London diners with food fit for maharajahs and emperors of old India. So successful has Ryath’s recipe been that there’s a sister restaurant in Kensington, but there’s little doubt that foodies – whether or not you’re a fan of South Asian food in particular – should make this landmark restaurant a destination. Under the wise heading ‘Recommended For Beginners’, Ryath has laid on a set meal for two and a deluxe meal for four, featuring highlights from the expansive and finely tuned menu. Bookings for Ryath’s Norfolk Place restaurant are essential.
