London-based chef Ajay Chaurasia has opening a second Indian restaurant in the capital. Chaurasia has teamed up business partner Ram Singh to launch Bombay Delight in Wimbledon.
The Broadway venue seats up to 120 covers and have a bar area and large private dining room. The menu features a number of lesser-known, regional Indian dishes alongside “all-time favourites”, with a focus on fresh ingredients and fragrant spices.
Dishes include the Bombay Butter Chicken, alongside more unusual options such as the Nashila Gosh lamb curry with red wine and rum and the Lamb Angara, a spicy slow cooked curry using smoked lamb, onion, tomato, ginger and garlic.
The drinks menu includes wine, beer and cocktails. Chaurasia said: “With Bombay Delight I really want to showcase all that Indian cuisine has to offer. Having a variety of curries and other regional dishes that Londoners might never have heard of on the menu gives me the chance to introduce them to lesser-known Indian specialities.”
Chaurasia opened his first restaurant, Mumbai Delight, in Vauxhall in 2013 and also heads a cloud kitchen in Battersea, preparing food for three brands – Bombay Delight, Biryani Box and Vegan Deluxe.
