Legendary Chef Sanjeev Kapoor’s Indian restaurant Yellow Chilli in Wembley has announced its full reopening, set for May 17, 2021. The menu features a plethora of small and large plates as well as sides, with vegetarians and vegans well catered for. Enjoy the likes of: Crescent Ring ‘Punjabi’ Samosa (spicy potatoes in a ring-shaped pastry, crisp baked, and served with homespun chutneys); Bhatti Ka Jheenga (prawns marinated with North Indian spices); Sham Savera (cottage cheese stuffed spinach dumplings in tomato sauce).
Speaking to Asian Voice, a spokesperson at Yellow Chilli said that unfortunately this Eid, as much as they’d love to deliver nationwide, they’re only able to do local deliveries at the moment. “We don't have a nationwide delivery partner , would definitely explore this option if available. With regards to Eid , we have IFTAR Menu which features a Choice of Dum Biryani (Chicken / Lamb / Pulled JackFruit) + Haleem (Lamb Haleem)+ Large Plate + Bread + Dessert. As Eid falls on the 12th we have limited outdoor seating capacity and will look to have a celebration indoors when the restrictions are eased, however we haven't had anything planned with this regard. We do have some outdoor space for dining.We normally can accommodate upto three tables of up to 16 covers at any given time.”
Eddie Nooner, Executive PA to Asma Khan (founder Darjeeling Express) told Asian Voice their plans for Eid, “Outside of our main dining space- customers can book a table on our terrace through the evening and we will be serving the Thali. We are going to have some additional desserts available as well. We are not delivering because we only deliver on Friday. For families celebrating on the weekend when the restrictions have been lifted- we will have biryani available for delivery and collection where both vegan and chicken options are available https://darjeeling-express.bignight.app/. We are giving free Masala Chai to all of our customers and we hope that people will come and eat outside. There's a lot of seating available in Covent Garden apart from our own tables- there's a court where people can sit and eat with friends and loved ones to enjoy.” Commenting one extending the celebration from May 17, Eddie said, “Yes, I do plan to extend. We are opening for lunch on the 19th and on the 23rd is the return of the Biryani Supperclub!”
Sudarshan Prabhu of Dosa Kitchen, South Indian Canteen in Newcastle, told Asian Voice that they’re open for everyone to celebrate Eid. “For grocery we do free delivery in and around Newcastle with some great produce all imported from India . please visit www.dkgrocer.com. This could come in very handy for people who don’t have cars for going for Asian shopping and specially for students. We are open from Tuesday to Sunday .
