Ravinder Bhogal and Nadeem Lalani Nanjuwany are bringing Karam’s to The Brunswick Centre
Not content with opening a restaurant at the new V&A East in 2026, Ravinder and Nadeem are adding another place to their growing portfolio with Karam’s, opening at The Brunswick Centre in Bloomsbury. Unlike Jikoni, which highlights cooking across borders, Karam’s will be more specific in its remit, featuring South Asian vegetarian dishes that are reflective of the pair’s Indian ancestry and the region’s heritage of nourishing maternal cooking.
Though a more casual setting that Jikoni, Karam’s, which is named after Ravinder’s grandfather Sardar Karam Singh Bhogal (who had a spiritual relationship to the land and believed in feeding others as a way to help them) will still showcase Ravinder and Nadeem’s brand of restorative hospitality. As well as communal all-day dining, inspired by the langar halls of Gurdwaras, at Karam’s you can expect craft breads, veggie dishes made using heritage grains and organic farm-sourced ingredients, and nourishing thalis.
Speaking about Karam’s, Ravinder said: “When we think of our grandparents’ and great-grandparents’ homelands, we immediately think of the exuberant food and the women who cooked it. Our families’ journeys from Punjab, Gujarat, and Kutch took them across continents, but the women maintained those connections by keeping food traditions alive. When they pass away, it’s like whole libraries of knowledge going up in flames, an inheritance lost except for fragments imprinted on the tongue. Karam’s is our way of honouring that wisdom,”
