Chai Naasto Beckenham

Not your typical Indian curry place. Various chats and starters are really nice. There's also a large paid parking place nearby. I like the quirky decor too.

Excellent Indian restaurant with a twist. The menu is street food which is like tapas, but you can get a normal curry if you prefer. Many of the dishes you wont find in your local curry house. The menu caters for all tastes vegetarian etc. Any dish can be made hotter on request but not milder. The menu changes regularly. A comprehensive cocktail and bar menu, if ordering spirits be aware they come as doubles unless you state when ordering. We were there for a 50th birthday party which they are well used to dealing with. Nim (manager),little chicken our waitress and staff are all very friendly and accommodating. We went for a selection of tapas followed by a main meal. I recommend the railway chicken which rates 2 chillies strength was lovely and spicy. Well worth a visit.

The food here is by no means average. This is street food on a higher level the dishes are innovative and well thought out from starters though to desserts- the best cocktails!. It's not too spicy you can add your own heat if you wish. I love the decor, bollywood film references along side a picture of the Nana who inspired it all. The staff are attentive and friendly and the food was served in a timely fashion.. My third visit and I will definitely be back - If they had a restaurant near me I'd visit more often!
