This five-star London Indian restaurant is opening a new location in Soho

"We absolutely loved when it opened last year in King's Cross, so there has been much rejoicing over news that a new branch of the south Indian mini-chain will be opening in Soho. The biggest branch to date, Tamila will pop up on Poland Street in February. It marks the third outing for the restaurant, which also has a location in Clapham. Tamila comes from the same team as desi gastropubs The Tamil Prince and The Tamil Crown, which are both in Islington."

"Speaking about the new opening, co-founder Prince Durairaj has said: ' Soho has always felt like a playground for some of s most exciting and much-loved restaurants, so opening here has been a real dream of mine. It's such a special and energetic part of the city for hospitality, and I feel incredibly grateful to be bringing Tamila into the mix and rubbing shoulders with places I've admired for years.' The Tamila menu will include a host of dishes from the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, including a Thanjavur chicken curry and Chettinad lamb curry, as well as a garlic coriander naan. Like the existing Tamila sites, there will be a highly decent vegetarian offering, with various meat-free dosas and dhals."

"Time Out's five-star review of the King's Cross branch praised Tamila's tandoori and curry dishes. 'Paneer tikka is cooked to an affectionate level of tenderness, with a dusty heat, bulbous skewered onion, and a sharp pineapple chutney,' wrote Ed Cunningham. 'The dhal flashed all sorts of vegetables across your tongue, while paneer butter masala was creamy and mightily generous in size.'"

Tamila, a south Indian mini-chain from the team behind desi gastropubs The Tamil Prince and The Tamil Crown, will open a new, largest-to-date branch on Poland Street in Soho in February. The Soho site marks the chain's third outing after King's Cross and Clapham and will feature dishes from Tamil Nadu such as Thanjavur chicken curry, Chettinad lamb curry and a garlic coriander naan. The menu will include strong vegetarian options including meat-free dosas and dhals. Co-founder Prince Durairaj described Soho as an energetic hospitality hub and expressed gratitude for joining its restaurant scene. The address is 19-20 Poland Street, W1F 8QF.
