Chambeli Restaurant is an Indian restaurant at 146 Southampton Row in Bloomsbury. Established in 1985, it has developed a long standing place in the neighbourhood through Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani cooking served in a comfortable dining room. The name refers to the jasmine flower, a symbol of warmth and welcome that reflects the restaurant’s hospitable approach.

The menu begins with samosas, onion bhaji, kebabs and tandoori starters prepared with aromatic marinades and spices. Chicken, lamb, prawns and vegetables all appear across the opening plates, allowing a table to share contrasting textures before the main course. Cooking with measured amounts of oil, butter and cream helps the spices and core ingredients remain distinct.

Curries cover familiar favourites as well as regional house dishes. Lamb dhansak balances heat, sweetness and sourness with lentils, while saag gosht combines lamb and spinach with herbs. Karahi lamb brings tomatoes, peppers and Khyber spices together in an iron pan, and methi gosht uses fenugreek leaves for a more fragrant savoury character.

Tandoori dishes, biryanis, vegetable sides, rice and fresh breads make it easy to assemble a varied meal for a group. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices are available, and the team can advise diners about ingredients and spice levels. A full bar, takeaway service and catering for parties extend Chambeli beyond the dining room while preserving its focus on generous regional cooking.
