Grain Kitchen is an independent casual restaurant at 13 Harrow Place near Liverpool Street. The kitchen specialises in colourful grain bowls made in house with fresh vegetables, grains, herbs and sauces. Lunch and early evening opening hours make it particularly convenient for workers and commuters seeking a balanced meal to eat in, collect or take away.
The Mediterranean Beluga Bowl combines braised black lentils, sofrito, piquillo peppers, seasonal ratatouille, charred broccolini and parsley salsa verde. The California Bowl uses short grain brown rice with sorrel pesto, preserved lemon, dill, kale, bean sprouts, pickled carrots, golden beetroot and avocado. Both can be paired with grilled chicken, cheese or fish.
Other bowls travel through a wider range of flavours. The Japanese Bowl includes brown rice, adzuki beans, shiitake mushrooms, seaweed, pickled vegetables and mild miso sauce, with yakitori chicken, salmon or tofu available. Thai, Middle Eastern and summer bowls use rice, quinoa, vegetables, herbs, tahini, harissa, tamarind and other distinctive dressings to create varied combinations.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices are integrated throughout the selection rather than treated as an afterthought. Halloumi, manouri, vegan cheese, beetroot cured salmon, grilled salmon and sea bass allow many bowls to be customised. Freshly prepared soups such as beetroot with sweet potato or an aromatic lentil dahl, together with nutritious sweet treats and snacks, round out the menu.
