The team behind the critically-acclaimed Tamil Prince and Tamil Crown pubs are opening a third branch of their fast-casual concept Tamila in February this year. It will be a flagship for the Tamila brand and the largest yet, spread across two floors, with a restaurant and bar on the ground floor and a private dining space below in the basement.
Following sites in Clapham Junction and King’s Cross, the new Tamila will open in Soho on Poland Street, and like the others will riff on the idea of a traditional south Indian curry house. It will open from lunch through till dinner each day, serving more of the group’s famed made-to-order rotis and curries, alongside a good range of cocktails and beers. Diners should expect dishes from Tamil Nadu, India’s 10th largest state, with curries including a Thanjavur chicken curry and Chettinad Lamb curry. There will also be a run of small plates, plenty of bread offerings — including the new-for-Tamila garlic coriander naan and kulcha — alongside tandoor-cooked meats and a variety of vegetarian dishes.
