After winning a legion of fans with Indian pubs The Tamil Prince and The Tamil Crown, both in Islington, Prince Durairaj and Glen Leeson expanded south of the river in 2024 with Tamila, their reinterpretation of a classic curry house. Beginning as a street food concept at Hackney Bridge in Hackney Wick, the first bricks-and-mortar Tamila opened on Northcote Road in Clapham. A second site opened in King’s Cross in 2025, complete with a basement bar and a takeaway hatch. The menu at both sites features the group’s signature roti and dishes from across Tamil Nadu and the Indian subcontinent, including onion bhaji, okra fries, fried sweetcorn, Thanjavur chicken curry, Chettinad lamb curry, garlic coriander naan, half tandoori chicken, and tandoori paneer with pineapple chutney.
