One of our favorite meals in London! We were recommended 2-3 dishes per person, as the food is more tapas portions. Our favorites were the Crackling Spinach and unexpectedly, the flavorful kid goat momos. The mango lassi was also refreshingly sweet but got full from the thickness of the drink. read more

This is an incredibly good restaurant in a central location, they have a very nice interior with very helpful and professional wait staff. We were a huge group (around 20) that came around 6pm on a Tuesday. The rest of the restaurant seemed quite busy outside of our huge group. We opted for the set menu, and they brought nearly 20 small bites - come hungryyyyyy! The favorites were the Szechuan chicken and shrimp as well as a delicious kale (or spinach dish) appetizer. The cooked salmon with curry was also delicious if you've been smart enough to leave room. seems like a great place to go with groups and share a bunch of dishes, there's something for everyone. We also enjoyed that they didn't shy away from some good spice. Great pick for the area! read more

A quick walk-in to feed our hungry son was kindly acknowledged by their kind host, who got us a table, as long as we wrapped up dinner within 45 minutes. We took that kind offer and got straight to ordering, as we were seated on a table for three at this tiny, yet cozy Indo-Chinese restaurant. We stuck to their staff recommendation and ordered the Crackling Spinach (£10.20), Chicken Momo (£7.50), Bombay Chilly Prawns (£14.50), and an ultra delicious Vegetable Hakka Noodles (£10) - which absolutely reminded us of the classic Hakka Noodles we get back home in Mumbai. The next best dish was the Crackling Spinach - an absolutely brilliant and refreshing chaat! Service overall was excellent, and noise levels were on the average end. Restaurant was packed to capacity, but food arrived within 20 mins of placing the order. read more

1000/10!! How do I give enough praise for this place? I cannot express how much I love it here: the food, the service, the drinks - absolutely no critiques. This is the BEST meal we've eaten in London, hands down, as well as the best service. First, Mac at Rutul were excellent servers. Very kind and attentive throughout the meal. Mac explained everything very well and was thorough, both of them checked on us throughout the meal. Mac also took time to answer my questions and really made the experience wonderful!! The food... where do I start? Absolutely unbeatable. The beef chili momo in the spicy chili sauce is my favorite. It's my favorite dish potentially EVER, and if they bottled that sauce I would sell my soul to buy it. Please bottle it or sell a cookbook! It's a sharing style, so we had several options to choose from. We had the chicken lollipops, the duck, the Szechuan beef noodles, and the chili prawns. They were all 10/10. If you don't like spice, ask your server what to recommend - these were the perfect light spice without overpowering anything. The prawns and duck had a sticky sweet thing going on that we loved, where as the chicken, noodles and momo had a nice and small kick of spice. The drinks were also fantastic! Some of the best I've had, PERIOD! Great locations available, but we went to the one in Covent Garden, which is always popping: you may not NEED a reservation, but I'd recommend getting one if you're coming on a weekend night, just in case! Good ambiance. Overall, 10/10, highly recommend for some well spiced food in London!! read more

Sat on their one table outside so service was pretty sub par. That being said food was excellent and came out quickly. Got their noodles, bing bread, tamarind glaze potatoes and crackling spinach. The stand out was the crackling spinach which was crispy and soothing at the same time with the yogurt. Bing bread was flaky and buttery, but felt a bit heavy halfway in. Potatoes were crisp but needed more flavor, felt lacking and could do with some spice. Finally noodles were good, bold and packed a punch! Overall good indo Chinese food! On the pricier end and small portion sizes as a caveat. Make a res so you're not left sitting outside like us lol. read more

Fantastic experience here! We were able to eat here on a Friday night at the bar without a reservation. Friendly service. We ordered a few dishes. The best was the crispy spinach - tasty and great texture, unique dish. All the other dishes were awesome Indo Chinese, very filling because so flavorful. Everything came out really fast too and was hot. Highly recommend read more

A nice fusion place in London. Came here for lunch and ordered a few items. Portions are a bit small, so I recommend 2-3 food options per person. Food was a 9/10- you could really taste the blend of flavours and the freshness of the meat. It was quiet and clean, but had a strange perfume-like smell (I wouldn't say stinky but strong). Service was also friendly, and food came fast. Overall, a really nice place to have a quick meal! read more

Dinner at Fatt Pundit went well. Our server Ruby advised us with number of dishes and portion sizes. Ruby was also very attentive and gave recommendations for wine. My husband did the reservations in advance and I'm glad we were able to try the quaint restaurant in Covent Garden. All the dishes were good except the side broccoli is ok. I would not order that again. My absolute favorite is the crispy spinach and prawn curry. Between two people, we had 6 dishes to share. They are small plates so no judgements! read more

This is a review of their Maiden Ln location. Very popular place so make sure you try to reserve in advance. We got the crackling spinach, lamb chops, popcorn cauliflower, and the Malabar curry monkfish. The spinach and the cauliflower were great apps, but I think the most impressive was the monkfish and the lamb chops. Monkfish definitely tasted like poor man's lobster and the lamb chops were very nicely spiced and tender. Heed the warning when they say plan 2-3 dishes per person because the portions are like tapas size. read more

We split the spinach and vegetable appetizer and got the burnt garlic fried rice. I think the rice was the best dish. Everything else was forgettable. The bartender was super friendly and a nice guy! read more

We ate well on our trip to France and the UK. However, one of our favorite meals was at @fattpundit in Soho, London. The restaurant reflects the Indo-Chinese influences seen in Kolkata (Calcutta) after Hakka immigrants from Canton moved there in the 1930s-40s. I'm glad I made reservations a month before because the restaurant was packed and prospective diners were turned away. Our host Merwin soon seated us and gave us recommendations on what to order. We started with their Crackling Spinach with crunchy spinach topped with a sweet yogurt, date & plum sauce and pomegranates. And then we sampled their chicken & beef momos (dumplings), Bing Bread, Kolkata chilli duck, bing bread, Hakka vegetable noodles, and sticky sesame vegetables. Every dish was delicious. This is one of my favorite restaurants in London. read more

Still an excellent restaurant. I went to the other location near Convent. - the fried chicken is excellent, especially with spicy sauce - the fried okra is ridiculously good - the fried rice is OK, but a bit bland - the brownie is extremely delicious, just overly fatty Overall, excellent food here and cocktails. The downstairs is a bit depressing with darkness, but the food is just too good. read more

I'm getting excited just writing this. Fatt Pundit is Indian-Chinese fusion, and we luckily walked in and got a table right before the 8pm dinner rush. Everything was so so good, and the 5 chutneys/sauces they served with the food made it instantly better. The chicken lollipops were DELICIOUS, and my friends favorite item was the chicken momos. The fried okra was really good especially if you like okra and the bing was tasty. I wish I could've come back to try things other than fried foods, but I thoroughly enjoyed my trip. read more

Fatt Pundit is a Soho gem that I wish I could eat at every month. Indo-Chinese food is often hard to find outside of India, so this restaurant's take on Indo-Chinese classics was something we valued highly. Located near Carnaby Street, the restaurant seems small but is divided between an upstairs and downstairs space. We were seated in the downstairs space where decor was minimal but tasteful. Service was consistent and our waiter was easily accessible. We started with the saffron chai as it was colder than expected outside. The chai is served in a little clay cup and was very tasty! The saffron flavor came through distinctly and the tea was the right level of thickness and sweetness. For starters we ordered the hakka chilli paneer lettuce cups, the fried salt and pepper bhindi/okra, and the lollypop chicken. These dishes were the standouts of the meal; the chicken and okra were super crispy and crunchy without sacrificing any softness on the inside. The chicken was juicy and comparable with the best lollypops I've had in India. The okra was my favorite dish of all and was highly addictive; they must use rice flour or tapioca starch for the breading because it was so distinctively crispy and tasty. The paneer was also fresh and had an ideal consistency, contrasting well with the shallots and sweet sauce with every bite. We also got the chicken momos which were some of the best momos I've ever had; the filling was juicy and tasty while the coating was not overly chewy. For mains, we ordered the shredded venison with housemade bao, the veg hakka noodles, the chicken manchurian, and the egg fried rice. The venison was good but quite chewy, which is to be expected with this kind of meat. The hakka noodles and fried rice were excellent; both went well with the chicken manchurian. Note that the chicken manchurian is a wet dish, served with a gravy/sauce, so don't expect a dry/crispy chicken as you might elsewhere. All in all, the experience at Fatt Pundit was ideal and I look forward to my next visit! read more

Unique restaurant specializing in Indo-Chinese cuisine in Central London - there are two locations within walking distance to one another (Soho & Covent Garden). Great spots for dinners & dates, though it can fill up pretty quickly especially on weekends so reservations are recommended. The service is friendly and the food is delicious - we especially loved the crackling spinach and monkfish curry. read more

The food was good but the rest of the environment is kind of a let down. To start, you are greeting bya cheesy sleazy looking man who is overbearing and not genuine. He looks like a cross between a d-list nightclub promoter and used car salesman. He sits with his ridiculous hair at the edge of the counter all night working on bills invoices and whatnot. It's very off-putting. This restaurant was not busy at all for prime time dinner service. We were 1 of about 5 tables in there with no one at the counter. Most of the staff were standing around or begrudingly cleaning just waiting the minutes to go home. No one really seemed all that happy. The food was better than anticipated for such a slow restaurant with no vibe. The spinach was very good, so was the soft shell crab. They just sort of need to retool the environment and staffing read more

We were looking forward to our reservation and we were not disappointed at all! They seem to have lots of seating on two floors, I would however recommend booking reservations in case you want to ensure you get to try it out if you're not from the area! The food options at this restaurant are well ranged. The service was perfect and staff is super attentive! They make sure to ask if you're comfortable with seating and offer some important info about the food after you sit down. We tried the mixed vegetable momo, crackling spinach, beef Stir fry szechuan noodles, manchurian chicken, sizzling brownie. Mixed Vegetable Momo: I have to say the momos were my least favorite out from everything we tried. They were tasty enough but I ultimately felt they lacked a little more flavor. I feel that perhaps the beef or chicken momos would have been more flavorful. Crackling Spinach: They were super crunchy and the sauce and pomegranates on top made for deliciously balanced/well rounded vegetable dish! One of our favorites. Beef Stir Fry Szechuan noodles: Great flavor for a staple dish! Manchurian chicken: I believe this is the one that had a bit of a kick! It was so delicious and paired perfectly with the szechuan noodles! Sizzling brownie: A decadent dessert that comes out piping (sizzling) hot! The ice cream on top goes amazing with the hot dense brownie. I will mention I could do with a little bit of a bigger scoop of vanilla ice cream as the last few bites of the brownie had to miss out on the cold/hot combination. Overall, very delicious and perfect for sharing. Food: 4.7/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Overall: 4.8/5 read more

First night in London, we were told we must try this restaurant. It did not disappoint. The service was really great as with the food. Raj and Geet was very attentive. Glad we decided to venture to this little place. My favorite was the Crispy Okra Salt n Pepper. It was seasoned so well. The lamb chops were delicious and very tender. I loved how they bring the dessert (vegan sizzling brownie with Madagascan vanilla ice cream) to the table and prepare in front of you. Great presentation and unfortunately I cannot attached video. Great restaurant and so worth visiting! read more

Made reservations to go here. Got here early but was not seated and was told we had to back at our reservation time even though the restaurant had availability. This place is close to Covenant garden so you can walk around to kill time. Restaurant is small, and felt like we were all squeezed in. It's two levels, top had tables and bar, downstairs has kitchen, tables and restrooms. We were seated downstairs and it was full. Service started off great. We placed orders for drinks and food. They cater for allergies which is always a plus. We ordered the chicken and veggie momos which were cold like they had been sitting out for a while. Rabbit wontons were spicy but tasty. Lamb was a hit, it was juicy and flavorful. Hakka noodles were yum reminded me of a place in Singapore that made those street type noodles. Monk fish had a funky flavor and had an after taste which was difficult to point out what it was. Bread was decent. Place is cute with its Deco etc. Sitting downstairs, poor ventilation your clothes do smell of food. Place did get busy and service got slow. Our server was awesome and very helpful which they had more staff downstairs. Overall good experience and yes, worth the hype. read more

(This review is based on dining at their newer Covent Garden location) Fabulous food and atmosphere where you can actually talk and be heard by your friends at your table. Loved the crackling spinach (get 2 orders for 4 people) and the gunpowder potatoes were nice with a bit of spice. Veggie fritters nice and crunchy with a lovely glaze. Crispy 5 spice duck also recommended. Please open one of these in Los Angeles!!! read more

Fatt Pundit - Indian Near Me - London, XGL

Came here during our visit to London after seeing some Instagram posts. I couldn't find a reservation on their website so I emailed and they were able to find a spot for 2 for 5:30. When we got there, they couldn't find the reservation, but quickly made us a spot! The ambiance was super cute inside -- definitely a good date spot. Downstairs area seemed to be good for larger groups. There were 3 main stars of the night!! The momos were amazing and both sauces that came with it were super flavorful The crackled spinach was by far the best thing of the night. The yogurt and sauces complimented each other so well! The sticky vegetables had a good amount of heat, but not overwhelming and the texture was great I would skip the tamarind potatoes and chili paneer next time. It wasn't bad, but just better things on the menu. Overall, super glad we were able to make it to Fat Punditt on such short notice. read more

Soho is no stranger to fusion cuisine and hyped-up restaurants that may or may not be worth the effort to snag a seat. Weeks after the experience, I'm still questioning if it's worth going back. Technically, yes, the food should be the most important star of the show; however, the rest of the annoyances along the way can turn into a real deal-breaker. Cocktails are 'meh.' I wouldn't pay that much for such a half-hearted attempt more than once. The plates, while chock-full of flavor and creativity spicing up traditional Indian favorites, are not only on the pricey side, but the tables they expect you to eat them on can barely hold more than a few. Regardless of where you sit, the spaces are cramped, and since you're probably not going to be coming alone, sharing your plates will be a must. Fan favorites include: Soy-marinated veggies, fried chicken, popcorn cauliflower, and deep-fried king prawns. The sides like the garlic naan and rice dishes are almost good enough to steal the show, so save some room for a few of those. Prices can get pretty steep since you're not likely to stick to only one or two plates, but if you're sharing, it can soften the blow considerably. One last thing to mention is that this place doesn't seem to be singles-friendly. I tried reserving a spot for weeks for one person with no luck, but as soon as I convinced my friend to come with me, there magically seemed to be room enough for 2 people. Perhaps giving a table away to lonely people doesn't rack in as much dough. read more

Expensive and small portions. Indo-Chinese food was different. Ordered: 1. Popcorn Cauliflower- super small battered cauliflower. Not even a full floret just small pieces like the size of a babies toe. 2. Crackling spinach- fried spinach again small portion 3. Bombay Chilly Prawns - 2 shrimp in a great sauce. Really great sauce but small portion big price -only 2 shrimp 4. Lollypop Chicken - spicy yummy sweet sauce only a few drums and small size 5. Naan - ordinary and again small power for price 6. Rice- ordinary and small for price 8. Ribeye- small and expensive Service was great but food was subpar. They even gave us a card with a QR code to review on Google. Really??? Rather go to Chinatown or an Indian restaurant than return here. We left hungry after paying 120 gbp and went to eat elsewhere again. read more

Fatt Pundit - Monkfish curry, ginger rice, goat momo - Indian Near Me - London, XGL

I am in London for work and went out late to get a bite. I was instantly attracted by the clean, modern yet cosy feel of this restaurant. Met with a welcoming smile, although the kitchen was closing, they did not turn me away. I was assisted with grace and charm to pick from a menu I knew nothing about. I was recommended monk fish, crispy spinach, rice and told it would be memorable and they were right. The flavours were a symphony of sensory discoveries and all the staff was friendly and kind. I even received a complimentary dish of dumplings as I explained it was my first time eating Indo Chinese food. The crescendo finished with a milk, chai tea with saffron and fried dumplings in sugar syrup. Very happy with this discovery and highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Got delivery a few weeks back from their covent garden location. Lot of kinda unique twists on indo-chinese flavors. Bold ask that they execute really well and would strongly recommend and would definitely come back. I debated a lot over the menu because it was such an interesting menu with things like a szechuan honey duck, shredded chili venison, etc. I got the shredded chili venison and some egg fried rice. Both were incredible. The venison was cooked perfectly and despite the spicy flavor you also got a good amount of the gaminess of the venison itself. It didn't seem like a lot of food at first but was super filling and then with the fried rice to boot it made for an excellent meal. The fried rice didn't have a ton of egg but was full of other flavors that balanced well. The only thing I would say is that the momo was really quite bland so I would not recommend getting the momo again. It's not like we really needed the momo on top of the entrees but just stick with the entrees! read more

I had heard so much about this place before coming to London but was unable to find a table. We decided to walk in and found a table right away. The restaurant is tiny and tables were very close to each other. We ordered margaritas and the okra, noodles and paneer lettuce wraps. The margaritas were one of the best I ever had and the food was delicious. They are very busy so you got to get your order in at one time. I rated it 4 stars because we had to flag our server multiple times and he missed the okra in our order the first time and we had to wait 20 mins for it. I would still go back for their yummy cocktails and delicious food. read more
