The Rajasthan-II @ India Street is an Indian restaurant at 8 India Street in the City of London. Established in the area for more than two decades, it sits between Aldgate, Tower Hill and Fenchurch Street and is particularly well placed for business lunches and after work dinners.
Its menu draws on the varied cooking traditions of the Indian subcontinent, using aromatic spices in both familiar recipes and house specialities. Starters, tandoori dishes and grilled meats offer contrasting textures before the meal moves into curries and slow cooked sauces.
Fragrant biryanis are among the restaurant’s signature dishes, while rich curries can be balanced with rice, naan and vegetable sides. More than ten vegetarian dishes give meat free diners useful breadth and make it easy for groups to build a shared meal around several different flavours.
Lunch and dinner are served in separate weekday sessions, matching the rhythm of the surrounding financial district. The restaurant also has a self contained event space for corporate meals and private gatherings, extending its appeal beyond an ordinary table booking.
Address: 8 India Street, City of London, London EC3N 2HS, England
