My friend and I had High Chai. We loved it. By far the best afternoon tea we have had and having afternoon tea is something we love. The chaats were a taste explosion. And the sweets were wonderful. The putting together of ingredients you would never think to really worked well. Price of £28 well worth it

A repeat visit to this delightful wee restaurant on Drummond Street, a destination renowned for authentic South Asian cuisine. Drummond Villa never fails to delight, and – despite desperate attempts to try something different – I simply can’t resist their exquisite Chicken Shaslick Masalla, washed down with perfectly chilled draught Cobra! Next visit (November) already planned, and we’ll be returning in December, as well!
