The Chicken Pie was too dry and needed gravy, but the desserts looked good. Overall, it is pleasing in an expensive area. The history of the dish's origin engages extra senses while eating. Like science, food is evolutionary in our closed and small world. The best Indian-British pie I ate was 20 years ago, outside Bristol, in a small village pub with real ale, named beef "Dragon Pie," made by a recipe by British soldiers in the 1890s near the NorthWest frontier.
Papadoms is the south Indian version while in north India it's papad...and in South India it's a bit different than the north Indian one...however this is my version...
BTW, good all round cultural food knowledge from Shankar. Very impressive, sir. I learnt a bit from you in this video. LKL - Thank you for your enthusiasm in bringing these unique Brit-Indian videos to the masses in this forum.
A point of note: The flippant comment about the "YMCA potatoes" then referring to the "Hare Krishna" restaurant in Soho St. (which is called Govinda's, BTW!), was insensitive. Govinda's food is hearty food made with LOVE and IT IS BLESSED FOOD, therefore IT IS PRASAD (like it or not). Please be mindful of that. These ivory tower Michelin starred fanfare places don't do half as much for food, nor people, like the Food for Life projects that the good folk at Govinda's do. A little more consideration would be greatly appreciated 👍🏽
Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend. I didn’t realise/know it was blessed food although I knew it is next door to a Hare Krishna temple. You have to pay for the food at Govindas so I didn’t see it like blessed food but as a restaurant.
@@LondonkiLali Aye, the food is prepared by devotees and Hare Krsna volunteers, all offered to Krsna before being served. It's standard practice there. Just raising the awareness, Lali. Hope the issue didn't come across hostile. Wasn't my intent. You're the captain of your ship on this channel, I'm just a pleb that tunes in, and will continue to do so 👍🏽 Keep doing what fulfills 🙏🏽 All the best!
Can't stand that guy Shanker,bluffing his way through everything as always. As for Atul,he's a flat tyre,over hyped nothing. The food looked starved and anaemic,limp,boring and tasteless.
Thank God Atul Kochar wasn't there. He wouldn't have survived the ruthless Indianness of Lali and Shankar . And they're right, Indian food does seem to loose it's "edge" when it's "gentrified" to fine dining .
The place looked great, and the food was presented great, but trying to accommodate the Western palate can be a bit tricky. Based on what LKL is used to, she knows her Indian food and she likes the traditional flavours. It's funny, sometimes I have noticed that Indian food in Western places, they are just lacking the punch, just a mellow version of its original self.

Poppadom is just the mispronunciation of paapar.
LONDON KI LALI you are right. ITS called PAPAD all over India. Only the South Indians call it Papadam

Once again Indian Michelin star restaurants are not that impressive the food looks very average I’m very overpriced for what it is
Agreed,food looked garbage.Ordinary places in India are miles better.
