Khao Galli - A Street Food Brunch

Join us for a special Brunch: KHAO GALLI. Dedicated to the street food lanes or 'galli's' of India.

We all LOVE street food. The playful flavours, layers of texture, served in newspaper or plastic plates, it's not fancy, but it is damn right delicious.

Khau Gallis, found in cities across India, are bustling street food lanes famous for their vibrant atmosphere and mouth watering local delicacies. These narrow alleys come alive in the evenings with sizzling snacks, aromatic spices, and crowds of food lovers sampling everything from pav bhaji and vada pav to momos and kebabs. Each Khau Galli reflects the unique culinary character of its city, offering an authentic taste of India’s diverse food culture. Join us as we share our own unique take on some of our favourite street-food dishes from Gujarat and Mumbai, with a little London-twist too.
