Asma Khan's restaurant is now in its third location, a much bigger two-floored affair in Soho. The focus remains the same as ever with the menu featuring a mix of Bengali, Hyderabadi, and Kolkatan cuisine, all delivered by an all-female kitchen. If you manage to get your hands on a ticket, the biryani supper club events are still the biggest draw.

This is the follow up to the original Noble Rot, led by Mark Andrew and Daniel Keeling. This Soho outing is a purely restaurant affair, which takes on the building that used to be the Gay Hussar. Dishes explore the heritage of that Hungarian restaurant and, of course, there's an excellent wine list.
