The Spice Circuit is heading to London for the very first time with their exciting pop up at the Darjeeling Express. The 4-course menu along with Nibbles has been inspired by the Food Tours of Spice Circuit and Chef Kanthi has put together the dishes that he really enjoyed cooking and tasting during his stay in Chettinad- The Culinary Powerhouse of South India.

ABOUT CHETTINAD

‘One has to be lucky to eat like a Chettiar’ goes a saying in South India. Chettiar community was one of the wealthiest business communities in India in the 18th and 19th century. Their main business was money lending and investment banking in Burma, Malaysia, Singapore and other Far East Asian countries where they made their riches and invested them back in Chettinad, Tamil Nadu and their elite taste and grandeur can be seen in their huge mansions and bungalows. They are also great foodies and they wouldn’t settle for anything less than the best when it comes to spices and ingredients. Slow cooking was their favorite meat cooking technique. Their daily meal is nothing less than a feast, traditionally served on a banana leaf and always a great balance between vegetables, meat and seafood on the menu.

The menu is on our Facebook Page and vegetarian options will be provided if informed during booking.
