Indian restaurant in UK declared healthiest by BBC

LONDON: An eatery set up by an Indian entrepreneur here, which does not use butter, cream or ghee in its preparations and serves fibre-rich meals to its customers, has been adjudged the best healthy-eating UK restaurant by BBC's food channel.

"Indali Lounge, London, is the healthiest curry house in the UK. They don't use butter, cream or ghee and the naans are made with flour, oats and barley to maximise fibre and minimise starch. Meals are slow-cooked to retain nutrients," the BBC said.

The upmarket cocktail bar atmosphere, with lilac flourishes and slick surfaces adds a contemporary touch to this evolved British Indian cooking," it added.

Bordeaux Quay, Bristol, has been judged as No 2 followed by Saf in London, Heart Buchanan (Glasgow), Pearl Liang (London), New Samsi (Manchester), The Harwood Arms (London), Restaurant Sat Bains (Nottingham), Comptoir Libanais (London) and Terre A Terre in Brighton.

The restaurant is frequented by many celebrities like India's batting genius Sachin Tendulkar, veteran Hindi actor-director Dev Anand and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his wife Cherie Blair.

  1. When it comes to Indian food around Marylebone high street restaurants, The Rajdoot is one of the best Indian restaurants in London to be considered with the glowing colors and earthy flavors. The Rajdoot has always added traditional Indian food menu ideas to a new level. Thanks for sharing your recommendation.
