Situated on the border of Notting hill and Holland Park, Chakra is a local favourite and a destination must for International gourmands of West London.
Chakra is not your typical Indian; it delivers a stunning menu inspired many centuries of tradition from different regions of India and royal Indian cuisine. Executive Chef Andy Varma has invested many year cooking with legendary Indian chefs and studying ancient recipes to draw inspiration for his menu at Chakra. His dishes are inspired by his respect for artisan chefs - the artists of the kitchen.
Chakra is the balance of mind, body and food. With evolved Indian cuisine presented with the modern British palate in mind, the Chakra experience is unique. The art of spicing, searing, baking and marinading combined with the finest produce deliver a gastronomic experience to savor.
The interior of Chakra resonates style and comfort. Furnishings in shades of biscuit-cream, with chandeliers, crisp napery and padded, dimpled walls create a sophisticated vibe. The service team is clad in siren-red outfits, which adds fiery glamour.
Chef Andy Varma aims to re-create this Artisan and traditional way of ‘running’ the food from pan to table. With a unique menu designed to share, it combines seven schools of cooking, each containing recipes that have evolved throughout the centuries. Typically, 1 or 2 dishes should be ordered to share from each section, to try different cooking preparations and different techniques or ‘schools’ of Royal Indian origins.
