The Tamil Prince Menu

The Tamil Prince is a neighbourhood pub restaurant on Hemingford Road in Barnsbury, combining the relaxed rhythm of a London local with Tamil and South Indian cooking. Lunch and dinner run through the week, while weekend breakfast gives the kitchen a different morning expression.

Small plates and snacks encourage sharing, drawing on fried, grilled and spiced preparations that work naturally with a drink. The cooking uses curry leaves, coconut, tamarind and carefully built spice mixtures, creating layers of sourness, heat and richness rather than relying on chilli alone.

Charcoal cooking gives meat, fish and vegetables a smoky edge, while curries and dals bring slower cooked depth to the table. Roti, rice and fresh accompaniments allow a group to combine several dishes, balancing crisp textures from the grill with sauces intended for scooping and sharing.

The pub format keeps the experience informal, with beer and cocktails alongside the food and outdoor tables available in suitable weather. Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday adds a concise selection influenced by South Indian morning dishes, making The Tamil Prince as relevant early in the day as it is for a lively evening meal.
