The Painted Heron

The sister restaurant of the highly-lauded Painted Heron in Chelsea, this restaurant boasts the same fresh, seasonal, innovative Indian cooking served in smart modern surroundings. Set on a bright Kennington corner, the large airy rooms have the same sophisticated relaxed ambience as the original.

You can roam the ever-changing menu with confidence. Try starter of tandoor-roasted pigeon breasts with yoghurt and saffron, main course of scallops in hot and sour Goan curry, veg of yellow lentils with okra, and pud of fig, walnut and almond tart with walnut ice-cream. The wine list is a corker with more than 30 available by the glass. A charming terrace is just right for al fresco dining.
