"Khan started Darjeeling Express as a pop-up at Soho pub The Sun & 13 Cantons in 2014 before taking on a permanent site in Kingly Court. She decided not to reopen there post-lockdown and chose instead to move the restaurant to a bigger site in Covent Garden, where she stayed until the summer of 2022. Following another pop-up stint, this time in west London, Khan moved Darjeeling Express back to Kingly Court at the beginning of 2023."
"Darjeeling Express 4.0 will be much bigger and set over two floors, with a bigger dining area and more room for Khan's all-female team in the kitchen. As she has said on Instagram, that means more food like "kathi rolls, keema, samosa, vada pav, falooda, all the things that are your favourites. Maybe bring back a midweek biryani". The space is currently being designed, so it's at least a few months away from opening, but we'll bring you more updates as we have them."
Darjeeling Express began as a 2014 pop-up at the Soho pub The Sun & 13 Cantons and later moved to a permanent site in Kingly Court. The restaurant relocated to a larger Covent Garden site until summer 2022, then operated pop-ups and returned to Kingly Court in early 2023. The restaurant will move to the former Horvada site at 36-40 Rupert St in Chinatown and is scheduled to open in spring/summer 2026. The new two-floor venue will feature a larger dining area, more space for Khan's all-female kitchen team, and an expanded menu including kathi rolls and possible midweek biryani. The space is currently being designed and is several months from opening.
