Mathura

Mathura is a colourful Indian restaurant from Michelin-starred chef Atul Kochhar. Housed in a converted fire station, this is a sophisticated venue that’s a million miles away from your local curry house. Rich and inviting colours are everywhere you turn, creating the ideal backdrop for uncovering elevated Indian cooking. Whether it’s a quick lunch, a business meeting, or a huge party, this restaurant is a popular place.

Whilst Mathura is named after a sacred city in northern India, the menus showcase influences from across the country. They also incorporate wider influences from countries like Iran, Bhutan, Nepal, and Bangladesh. Diners can choose from several menus including a lunch menu that promises food on the table in 10 minutes – perfect for when you want a speedy lunch that doesn’t compromise on style. À la carte and tasting menus are on offer too for exploring these vibrant dishes in depth.

Expect the food to be eclectic and full of well-balanced flavours. Dishes include saffron chicken tikka, ricotta and spinach kofta, marinated lamb chops, and slow-cooked Afghan beans. The food is an interpretation of modern Asian cooking that really stands out.

The drinks selection includes classic cocktails, an extensive wine choice, and a gin trolley with infusions that celebrate the signature spices of Asian countries. Cocktails are also available from the bar, alongside bar snacks with a distinctly Indian influence. Mathura is a destination for joyful and contemporary cooking.
