After starting The Great Indian out of his kitchen and then growing it into a Hackney takeaway, founder Aman Dhir has now turned it into a gastropub in Archway. With space for people to pop in for a pint and a snack, The Great Indian also has a dining area where you can try regional Indian dishes and twists on pub classics. The menu includes the likes of jackfruit croquettes, lamb ghee roast on malabar bread taco, cafreal tiger prawns, slow-cooked short rib with curried mash, lamb shank pie with saffron-cardamom sauce, and tandoori fried chicken pav. As well as a range of beers on tap, there are also spiced cocktails like The Great Indian (made with kaffir lime-infused vodka, sollasa, lime and curry leaves) and the tamarind and chilli-infused Imli Margarita.
