Description

Kricket now boasts four branches across London, but this Soho spot was its original permanent home after its pop-up origins. The counter in front of the open kitchen dominates the room and is huge fun, although the seating downstairs has something of a cool nighttime vibe. The generously priced menu leans towards India’s more southerly states in authentic dishes that burst with flavour. Highlights to look out for include Goan sausage croquettes, Keralan fried chicken with a delicious curry leaf mayo, and succulent Karnatakan pork neck.

Review summary

Kricket, located in London's West End, offers Indian fusion cuisine emphasizing local ingredients. Reviews highlight distinctive, fresh flavors, particularly praising the Thali dishes. However, some guests note issues with overly oily, deep-fried food, slow pacing, or lukewarm meals. Service is generally described as enthusiastic and helpful, though isolated incidents involve poor complaint handling or rigid seating arrangements. The atmosphere is vibrant and bar-centric, appealing to social diners, but some find it too noisy or pretentiously styled. Value perceptions are mixed; while many feel the experience justifies the cost, others consider it overpriced relative to portion sizes and satisfaction levels.

Best for

Suitable for diners seeking novel Indian fusion cuisine and a lively bar atmosphere, ideally visiting during off-peak hours for better service.
