The Great Indian opens in London's Archway

The Great Indian opens its doors in Archway this month.

Fans of Desi pubs will have another one to choose from in London this month, as The Great Indian opens its doors in Archway. 

Having started life in entrepreneur Aman Dhir’s home kitchen, a concept quickly evolved into a successful takeaway in Hackney, known as Great Indian.

Now Dhir is evolving the concept through a local Archway pub, having brought in Surjan Singh (Chef Jolly) to collaborate on the menu. Singh is an award-winning chef and judge MasterChef India. 

Inside the pub

The interiors of The Great Indian are split into casual seating and a more intimate dining area, which is also available for private events.

When it comes to the food, highlights include a Lamb Ghee Roast on Malabar bread Taco; Cafreal Tiger Prawns cooked in the tandoor with cloves, cinnamon, and apple cider vinegar; and Chargrilled Chicken Liver served on top of fluffy naan.

Others are TGI Butter Chicken; Slow Cooked Short Rib topped with curried mashed potato; and a Lamb Shank Pie.

The Great Indian has a 100-cover indoor capacity and an alfresco seating area for the summer.
