Pravaas is a contemporary Indian restaurant at 3 Glendower Place in South Kensington. Chef patron Shilpa Dandekar draws inspiration from the varied regions of India, presenting familiar traditions through precise technique and an individual creative perspective. Seasonal menus, tasting experiences and a refined dining room make the restaurant suited to both leisurely lunches and special dinners.
The opening selection moves from pani puri shots and patra chaat to courgette flower with goat curd and lamb galouti kebab. Scallops with saffron and wild garlic show the kitchen's approach to seafood, while tamarind chilli squid brings crisp texture and vivid spice. Each starter combines carefully chosen chutneys, fruit, herbs or nuts with the central ingredient.
Clay oven cooking includes paneer tikka, wasabi chicken tikka, lamb chops, venison seekh kebab and tandoori lobster. Regional main courses can range from Mangalorean chicken with coconut and tamarind to lamb sukke, prawn curry and red snapper moilee. Butter chicken, chicken tikka masala and fragrant biryani remain available for diners who prefer established favourites.
Vegetarian choices include dal tadka, dal makhani, baby aubergine masala, garlic spinach and cabbage tempered with mustard, curry leaves and coconut. Naan, tandoori roti, saffron rice and pomegranate raita help complete the table. Desserts, cocktails, champagne and a considered wine list continue the polished experience, while the tasting menu offers a guided journey through signature dishes.
