Kricket, Indian restaurant in Soho, London, United Kingdom
Kricket is an Indian restaurant across two floors in Soho, featuring an L-shaped kitchen counter on the ground level and communal tables in the basement for group dining. The design combines open-kitchen cooking with flexible seating arrangements for different party sizes.
The restaurant began as a small pop-up in a shipping container and later expanded to multiple locations across London, including Brixton and White City. This growth reflects the expanding Indian dining scene in the city.
The place brings together traditional Indian cooking methods and locally sourced British ingredients to create dishes like tandoori grouse with coco bean masala. Diners seated at the counter can watch the kitchen team work and become part of the cooking experience.
The restaurant accepts reservations for groups of four or more people, while ground floor seating operates on a first-come-first-served basis at the counter. Checking opening times in advance is helpful, and larger groups should reserve ahead to ensure a table.
The kitchen prepares specialties like Keralan fried chicken with curry-leaf mayo and bhel puri with raw mango, visible from the counter seats. These dishes showcase regional Indian flavors that are less common in other London restaurants.
