Indian Food in Europe

Indian Food In Europe

October 21, 24

With my extreme love for Indian traditional food and in general for good delicious food ,I planned to start a blog on the actual situation of the Indian food and restaurants in Europe and UK.

I have committed to have a personal review and assessment for different Outlets and Restaurants. The Options available so as to have a true picture for the people hunting and lusting for true and authentic Indian food rendered with quality service.

Keep visiting to know for my new and real time experiences on Indian food in Europe and UK.

Bon Appetit!!!

We are living in a time when the cuisines of other nations are taking hold of Western consumers and this is especially true in Europe with a booming Indian food industry that is partly driven by the Indian business immigrant population in Europe and partly entrepreneurship. There also seems to be a strong demand for Indian food throughout the Europe and UK according to local consumer researchers. In fact, they say that there are just as many if not more Indian restaurants in London alone than in India and one of the best-loved dishes in the UK is curry as well as traditional British dishes.

Europe is following the footsteps of London in this case as the demand for the Indian food grows…..

Roots of Indian Food In Europe

The first Indian restaurant to open was in the UK was called the Hindustani Coffee House and it was founded in 1809 by a man who was of Indian and Irish ancestry, Dean Mahomet. It closed in 1833 and it was not until the 20th century that the UK started to see a boom in the rise of Indian restaurants and markets that specialized in Indian food staples. The word “curry” comes from the Tamil word “kari”, which means spicy sauce. Nowadays you can find an Indian restaurant in most neighborhoods across the UK.

The roots of Indian restaurants and food markets go back to the 1940s and today the tradition continues.

Conclusion

Throughout the Europe’s history there has been a love affair with Indian cuisine and it continues today. Nowadays you will see select British-Indian cooking TV personalities show viewers how to prepare authentic Indian food for those wanting to learn how to make authentic Indian food.

The demand and love for the Indian food has been ever growing since i started this blog in 2013.More and more Indian Restaurants have come up all around Europe.The Europeans have fallen in love with the Indian Cuisine to the extent that now European Restaurants serve Indian food in their menu on selected days of the week.

This love for the Indian food in Europe shows us that its the correct path this is on now like at any other place on the globe.I am happy that the Indian food has start to get the same respect as it enjoys in other parts of the world:))))

Meeting my School Buddy at Dishoom in London

October 21, 24

Last month, I had the pleasure of catching up with my school buddy and his brother over some incredible Indian food at Dishoom Shoreditch in London. It’s a lively branch of the popular Dishoom chain. If you’re unfamiliar with Dishoom, it’s a restaurant that brings the authentic flavours of Mumbai straight to the UK. With its bustling vibe and beautifully styled interiors, it’s no wonder this place has become a beloved spot for Londoners craving a taste of India. My friend and his brother were in town for just a short trip, so we knew we had to make our meetup count.

And what better way to do that than over great food and drinks at one of London’s best Indian restaurants?

Meeting my School Buddy at Dishoom in London-Indian food in Europe

We decided to meet up in the late afternoon, thinking we’d beat the rush. As we walked into Dishoom Shoreditch, the first thing that caught my eye was the gorgeous, spacious interior. The restaurant’s décor transported me back to the busy streets of Mumbai, with its vintage posters, old-school lamps, and rich wooden furniture. The details were incredible, and it really felt like being in a 1940s Bombay café. It’s a perfect blend of nostalgia and modernity. Not only is Dishoom known for its food, but its ambience is something to be savoured too.

After being warmly greeted by the staff, we were shown to our table with ease, and soon enough, the fun began. With a quick scan of the menu, we knew we were in for a treat. Dishoom’s menu is a love letter to Indian street food and classic Bombay-style dishes. Between the three of us, we decided to hit straight for the main course without starters as it was late afternoon, and we were all long past the lunch overdue. We ordered some chilled Indian beer Kingfisher along with DISHOOM FANCY HOUSE SALAD, their Signature Salad while we waited our order to come in.

The salad was a surprisingly good combination of fresh leaves, broken wheat, fruits, pickled beetroot and caramelised cashews. This merry mix is sweet-sharp with Goan coconut toddy vinegar dressing. Trial solicited.

There is something special about a cold pint of beer that just hits the spot, especially when you’re catching up with old friends :)))

For our main course, we dug into some of the best Indian dishes Dishroom has to offer. The Chicken Ruby, with its velvety, spiced tomato curry, was a particular favorite. My buddy’s brother raved about the Rara Gosht, a dish where Lamb shank and lamb mince are cooked and commingled with much stirring and much vigour. Rich spices bestow warmth to this robust and hearty dish. We also tried the House Black Daal, a dish I’d heard so much about, and I have to say, it lived up to the hype. Creamy, comforting, and with just the right amount of spice, it was easily one of the best daals I’ve ever had. A Dishoom signature dish – dark, rich, deeply flavoured. It is cooked over 24 hours for extra harmony. We ordered some freshly made Naan bread along to enjoy the mouthwatering dishes with.

Every bite of food at Dishoom felt like a journey back to India. It’s that authenticity that makes this place stand out from the rest.

The service was exceptional too. From placing orders to making sure everything was perfect, Dishoom’s team had a modern approach with their technological adaptation. The use of tablets for quick ordering was a cool touch and made the process seamless, yet the service still felt very personal and warm. It’s clear that Dishoom has successfully merged tradition with modernity, making the dining experience enjoyable in every aspect.

One thing that really struck me about the Dishoom Shoreditch branch was its size. The restaurant is huge, with the ability to host a large number of guests at once, and it’s still packed. There’s a lovely garden outside that offers a peaceful vibe, perfect for those who want to dine in a relaxed outdoor setting. We loved how spacious the venue was while still managing to feel cozy and inviting. Even as we ate, we noticed a steady stream of people pouring in—everyone from young professionals to families. Londoners from all walks of life were clearly drawn to the delicious food and welcoming atmosphere.

As we wrapped up our meal and walked out, we were stunned to see a line of more than 50 people patiently waiting to get in. It’s not surprising though—Dishoom is worth the wait! The excitement and buzz around this place are palpable. We felt so lucky to have had such a memorable afternoon here, filled with laughter, great food, and even better company.

Our visit to Dishoom Shoreditch was nothing short of fantastic. From the food to the service and the overall atmosphere, everything was on point. If you ever find yourself in London craving authentic Indian food with a touch of Mumbai, Dishoom is the place to be. Whether you’re catching up with old friends, like I did, or just looking to enjoy a great meal, you’ll leave with a smile—and probably dreaming about that daal!

Touch of Indian Food in Guernsey

September 15, 24

Last month, my wife and I decided to take a spontaneous trip to Guernsey, one of those serene, quaint islands where time seems to slow down. After exploring the island’s breathtaking scenery, we felt a craving for some comforting Indian food. To our delight, we stumbled upon Dhaka, a fast-food concept restaurant in the heart of Guernsey. Dhaka, run by a Bangladeshi restaurateur, offers a perfect blend of Bangladeshi and Indian cuisine. Little did we know, this culinary find would be one of the highlights of our trip.

Touch of Indian Food in Guernsey-Indian food in Europe

A Warm Welcome at Dhaka

As we approached the restaurant, Dhaka’s inviting entrance immediately drew us in. The moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with a friendly smile by the owner himself. His warm hospitality set the tone for what turned out to be a memorable afternoon. From the moment we sat down, we felt like we were more than just customers—we were guests in his home. The service was impeccable, attentive yet unobtrusive, making us feel relaxed and ready to dive into the food.

Mouthwatering Snacks & Drinks

Our culinary journey began with a variety of snacks that instantly awakened our taste buds. We started with crispy samosas (In Bengali they call it Singara), bursting with a flavourful filling of spiced potatoes and peas, perfectly paired with tangy tamarind chutney.

The bar at Dhaka was a pleasant surprise as well. Offering a range of drinks that complemented the spicy and savoury dishes, we enjoyed some refreshing Indian beers. The bartender’s skills were impressive, and the drinks elevated the entire dining experience.

The Main Course: A Fusion of Flavours

As for the main course, Dhaka didn’t disappoint. The restaurant offers a mix of both classic Indian dishes and Bangladeshi specialties, so we were spoiled for choice. We ordered the chicken tikka masala, which came in a rich, creamy sauce with just the right level of spice. The tender chicken pieces were cooked to perfection. Alongside it, we had the traditional lamb biryani cooked Bengali style and a blend of spices that transported us right back to the bustling streets of Kolkata.

My wife, who usually prefers milder flavours, couldn’t resist dipping her naan into the curry. We also had a side of garlic naan, which was soft, buttery, and the perfect accompaniment to soak up the delicious gravies.

A Beautiful Interior with Bangladeshi Charm.

What truly stood out at Dhaka was its ambiance. The restaurant is spread over two floors, and every inch of the interior is thoughtfully decorated with traditional Bangladeshi elements. From the intricately carved wooden panels to the vibrant textiles that adorn the walls, the space feels like a small cultural haven. The warm lighting and earthy tones gave it a cozy, intimate feel, perfect for a romantic evening.

Upstairs, there’s a more relaxed setting, ideal for larger groups or families. The attention to detail in the décor adds a layer of authenticity, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a part of Bangladesh in the middle of Guernsey. It’s rare to find a place that combines both great food and an immersive cultural experience, but Dhaka manages to do just that.

Sweet Endings with Complimentary Dessert.

Just when we thought our afternoon couldn’t get any better, the owner surprised us with a complimentary dessert tray. We were served rasmalai, a soft, spongy Indian dessert soaked in a sweet, saffron-flavoured milk syrup (My wife’s favourite), Mouthwatering Gulab Jamun (My favourite) and traditional Bengali sweet Rasgulla. It was the perfect sweet ending to our feast, and we savoured every bite. It’s little touches like this that truly set Dhaka apart from other restaurants.

A Memorable Experience at Dhaka

Our lunch at Dhaka was more than just a meal—it was an experience. The combination of excellent food, friendly service, and a beautifully crafted space made it a highlight of our trip to Guernsey. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick snack or a full Indian meal, Dhaka delivers on all fronts.

We left the restaurant with full stomachs and smiles on our faces, grateful for the wonderful afternoon and the chance to experience a touch of Indian and Bangladeshi culture in the heart of Guernsey. If you ever find yourself on this lovely island, Dhaka is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy mouthwatering Indian food in Guernsey with a side of warm hospitality.

Dili Haat In The Heart Of Bournemouth,UK

May 21, 23

Last week got the chance of meeting with an old friend from Romania. He happens to be an Indian food lover and is into app development for his food project.

So the obvious choice to meet in the the heart of Bournemouth was one of my favourite Indian Restaurants Dilli haat .They have recently opened their new branch in continuation to the Westbourne branch they have had for years now.

Dili Haat In The Heart Of Bournemouth,UK-Indian food in Europe

The restaurant looks pretty spacious and lively as you enter it. We were greeted with a warm welcome as we sat down to the table right by the the bar .

Since this happened to be a Sunday afternoon and me being a vegetarian since the start of this year , I ordered for my self the famous mouth watering Chole bhature menu they have on the weekends.

Chole bhature is some thing I love right from my School days in India. Growing up in Northern India mostly ,I had my own list of favourite restaurants offering this amazing street food .

My friend to his liking chose to go in for his favourite Lamb Korma menu with some Garlic Naan to it.

We ordered for some fresh draught Cobra beer along with a platter of chutnies and spicy sauces to enjoyed with some hot Poppadums.

While we discussed life ,work and the projects in mind ,the Indian food did its job alongside to us with its tongue tickling and mouthwatering taste.

It was great experience meeting with an old friend and enjoying some good authentic north Indian food right in the heart of Bournemouth.

The staff was amazingly helpful and welcome .I had my phone crashing and was offered an immediate rescue to it with hooking it up to a charger nearby. They do have a good bar with some traditional Indian beers and wines and one the friendliest staff on board.

Since we both had things on the agenda ahead ,we decided to go without the sweet dish and instead opted for quick another round of beer for us :))

Dilli Haat stays on my list of best Indian restaurants and I would thank Arun Sharma ,the owner of the Dilli Haat Restaurant and a good friend to starting this amazing Restaurant chain in Bournemouth. He has been earlier on my Podcast too.

Enjoy your meals ……
