Tale of India
About Tale of India

Quiet and cosy, the Tale of India offers a precious orderly respite from Covent Garden’s constant bustle, and is not to be confused with the place of the same name in London’s Docklands. It’s the kind of place you find yourself returning to time and time again. The menu features twell-loved Indian dishes - from samosas to chicken korma - including thali, a selection of dishes set on a silver tray with dips, naan and rice. House specialities include passanda and garlic chicken, as well as fish dishes such as roopchanda pomfrit made with freshwater fish from Bangladesh. Desserts change daily. For the best tables, sit in the middle of the restaurant where you’ll have leg room. Open from midday to midnight, Tale of India is a good choice for pre or post theatre or cinema eating.
