Having just opened to critical acclaim in the heart of London's Fitzrovia, Pali Hill won’t let lockdown 2.0 deter its wealth of warm hospitality and community inspired by the city of Mumbai, offering an Indian banquet experience available for delivery until they are able to open its doors again.
Inspired by India’s diverse culinary heritage, the new takeaway and delivery menu offers an eclectic range of regional dishes taken directly from their restaurant menu and adapted to be enjoyed at home.
Launching under the helm of Head Chef Avinash Shashidhara (previously River Café and Hibiscus), the menu offers both freshly prepared dishes and finish at home dishes that can be pre-ordered in advance or on the day.
Finish at home dishes include Marinated Lamb Cutlets; Tandoori Monkfish; and a Make your down Dosa kit with Chutney and Sambar, with especially created videos and recipe cards for perfect plates. For those in need of instant gratification, the rest of the menu arrives ready to eat straight away.
To celebrate this year’s festival of lights tomorrow (14 November), a limited-edition Diwali celebration feasting menu is available to pre-order for the ultimate family spread, containing a spectacular Dhuniwala Whole Suffolk Lamb Shoulder with Navratan Pulao, a selection of signature breads and Kachumber as well as a Diwali terracotta candle to light in celebration. It’s the perfect order for families and friends to feast on in absence of usual festivities.
In keeping with the original Pali Hill menu, the takeaway offering features small plates such as their immensely popular Papadi Chaat; with roasted delica pumpkin, Hara Kebab; and Chicken Tikka. Big plates include the now famed Veal Chettinad; Palak Paneer and Lamb Biriyani.
The canteen section of the menu offers traditional thalis, providing the perfect way to experience the taste of Pali Hill for those after a lighter meal.
To end on a sweet note, there's ghee and saffron Carrot Halwa or an indulgent Chocolate Cake with an Indian twist.
On transforming to delivery just a month post opening, head chef Avi Shashidhara said, “Pali Hill was inspired by neighbourly sharing and delivery of something to your door, or plates of comfort when you needed it most, so having the chance to be invited to your home is still as exciting for us, especially with Diwali on the horizon.
'Whether it’s the fragrance of a lamb biriyani as you lift off the lid, or one of our kits, we hope our offering brings you contentment until we can serve you in person again”
A selection of carefully curated wines usually available on their restaurant menu, beers and cider are also available for delivery to add to orders.
