“Amazing food and ambiance. Definitely the place to go if you want authentic Indian fine dining experience.” – Anjali S.
Darjeeling Express
Darjeeling Express began as a dinner for twelve guests at home, serving Indian food cooked from family recipes that go back to generations. The food is a true tribute to its founder Asma’s royal Mughlai ancestry and the busy streets of Calcutta, where she raised. The results is a beautiful mélange of street food like papri chaat and royal recipes like lamb dum biryani, that take you on a journey from Calcutta in the east of India to Hyderabad in the south. An all-women group of housewives runs the kitchen at Darjeeling Express, and have been doing so from day one. What you will taste is home-style food, prepared with passion, and the aim to nourish your soul and body.

“By watching the episode on Netflix it inspired me to go across the pond and eat at this restaurant. Asma Khan and her team deserve more than five stars. To get where she is emotional despite the set back it shows her wisdom and how smart she is. Thank you for agreeing to be in the Chef’s Table program. You’re inspirational. I hope to eat at your place soon.” – Albis M.
