Farzi London is a modern Indian restaurant on Haymarket in the heart of the West End. Founded as part of restaurateur Zorawar Kalra’s Farzi brand, it combines recognisable flavours from across India with contemporary technique and presentation for lunch, dinner and pre theatre dining.
The kitchen draws particular inspiration from northern Indian traditions while using methods such as slow dum cooking, charcoal grilling and the tandoor. Chaat, kebabs, momos and inventive small plates introduce the meal before curries, biryani and substantial regional dishes arrive at the table.
Familiar ingredients are often presented in unexpected forms, including butter chicken bao, spiced dumplings, paneer preparations and creative seafood or meat starters. Dedicated vegetarian and vegan choices sit alongside tasting menus, lunch thalis and an à la carte selection.
The colourful dining room and lively bar give Farzi a celebratory atmosphere suited to groups as well as couples. Experimental cocktails, Indian inspired drinks and desserts continue the restaurant’s playful approach, while its position near Piccadilly Circus and the theatres makes it easy to include in an evening out.
Address: 8 Haymarket, St James’s, London SW1Y 4BP, United Kingdom
