Chai Kai, Indian restaurant: Canary Wharf's hidden gem

The Canary Wharf restaurant scene might not be the most written about but pay a visit to this banker's paradise and you'll be pleasantly surprised by what's on offer. A notable example of this is new Indian restaurant, Chai Ki.

The restaurant started off as London's first toddy shop with a characteristically laid back atmosphere. In June the eatery expanded to a full blown restaurant, serving modern Indian food within a slick, minimalist interior. Attention to detail is at the crux of both the decor and the food. Each plate comes beautifully presented with the rich colours artfullly juxtaposed. There's nothing on the menu that will disappoint: from Dakshini Korma to tasty Raita, there's a rich, weighty feel to the flavour which is so often lacking from contemporary Indian cuisine in London. Even the deserts are good - we recommend the cheesecake as a must try treat. Similarly expect cocktails to contain idiosyncratic flair, the rose water bellini is a must try.

The service is attentive without feeling intrusive, and in all the new restaurant has retained the original famiily and jovial atmosphere of the toddy shop, heightened by the diners who gather in big groups.

And whilst there's nothing to fault on the Chai Ki menu, the location renders the restaurant a little too far to be a London staple. Nevertheless, should you choose to make the journey you'll be delighted by what you find.

    There are four Rokas around London – Mayfair, Aldwych, Canary Wharf, and Fitzrovia – and each one provides a dark urbane corner for some of the best (if most expensive) Japanese food in London.
