Kanishka by Atul Kochhar is a refined Pan Indian restaurant on Maddox Street in Mayfair, close to Regent Street, Bond Street and Oxford Circus. Chef patron Atul Kochhar leads the restaurant with Executive Chef Ashok Kumar, drawing on food cultures and cooking traditions from across India. The result is a contemporary dining experience that gives regional recipes a modern setting without losing their distinctive spices and ingredients.

Atul Kochhar became the first Indian chef to receive a Michelin star in 2001 and received another in 2007. At Kanishka, his approach combines traditional Indian techniques with seasonal British produce and continued research into regional recipes. Ashok Kumar brings extensive experience from Kochhar’s restaurants and contributes his own understanding of authentic flavours, modern presentation and carefully balanced menus.

The restaurant offers a la carte dishes, tasting menus, set selections, weekend brunch and a dedicated menu for younger guests. Current cooking includes seafood with coastal herbs and curry leaf, tandoori chicken with seasonal vegetables, coconut based fish preparations, rich korma sauces and creative desserts scented with saffron or spice. Vegetarian and vegan tasting choices allow the same regional journey to be experienced without meat or fish.

Wine and whisky pairings are an important part of the dining programme, with sommeliers matching drinks to individual dishes. Private dining rooms and a secluded garden also give the Maddox Street venue options for celebrations, business meals and small gatherings. Kanishka combines polished Mayfair hospitality with a wide exploration of Indian cuisine, making regional diversity and modern technique central to the experience.

Address: 17–19 Maddox Street, Mayfair, London, England W1S 2QH, United Kingdom
