Bombay Bicycle Club - Hampstead
About Bombay Bicycle Club - Hampstead
In one of Hampstead's loveliest streets, near Keats' house, you'll find the Bombay Bicycle Club, an outpost of the much-loved south-of-the-river favourite. This is smart Hampstead, so of course you'll find a smart interior, with wooden floors, off-white walls, flowers and plants, and witty Indian artifacts. The cleanly modern décor lets you know that this is an ambitious eaterie, an idea borne out by the up-market Indian menu. The freshly-cooked dishes include starter of rapti salmon cooked in the tandoor, main course of akola gosht, and dessert of mango cheesecake. Dishes are mild to medium for Western tastes, but chefs are happy to adjust the heat if you like your food fiery.
