Up the A1000 from Whetstone to a table of small plates
From Whetstone, there are two easy routes. By car, follow the Great North Road (A1000) north for about 2.5 miles to Barnet High Street and park in one of the two car parks near us. By tube, Totteridge & Whetstone station is one stop from High Barnet on the Northern line, and from there it is roughly a ten-minute walk to our door.
For a relaxed evening that does not need much planning, the menu works best when everyone orders together. Pick a few nibbles to start, such as onion bhaji, Punjabi samosa or chilli paneer, then move on to chaats like aloo tikki chole chaat and crispy kale chaat. The mix tandoori platter is made for sharing, and you can top up with lamb keema sliders or a chicken biryani to pass round. Vegetarians can order achari paneer tikka and tandoori malai broccoli, so nobody misses out.
Work friends and teams find the format handy too, as nobody has to commit to one big main. At lunchtime on weekdays (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, from noon) a kathi roll and a masala chaas make a quick, filling meal. Weekday evenings run until 10:30pm, with longer hours at the weekend. Book online, or call 07414 109555 if your group is large.
