Dhaba @ 49 is a North Indian restaurant at 49 Chippenham Road in Maida Vale. Its vibrant dining room takes inspiration from the roadside restaurants of India while introducing a polished London setting, creating a relaxed place for family meals, dinners with friends and private occasions.
The chaat corner brings together bhel, papdi chaat, pani puri and other snacks layered with yoghurt, chickpeas, crisp wafers and contrasting chutneys. These lively starters sit beside samosas, paneer and dishes from the grill, allowing the table to begin with a broad range of textures and spice.
Curries include butter chicken, rogan josh, fish moilee and rich vegetable preparations, supported by biryani, rice and bread from the tandoor. The kitchen balances traditional North Indian flavours with occasional British and wider contemporary touches, while vegetarian choices remain a substantial part of the menu.
Cocktails, wine, beer and alcohol free drinks give the restaurant a lively evening character, with desserts providing a rich or cooling finish. A private dining room can seat intimate groups away from the main space, while regular brunch and dinner service make Dhaba @ 49 flexible across the week.
