Forty Dean Street is the pinnacle of affordable Italian cuisine in busy Soho. We are a small, family run restaurant dedicated to providing incredible food at incredible prices.

Our à la carte menu is a favourite with our regulars, the media crowd and tourists alike.
Italian food has been served at Forty Dean Street for more than 17 years, so we like to think there’s nothing we haven’t mastered. So pop in for an Aperol Spritz!

The service we received was exceptional for a central London restaurant. The ambiance is great (loved the disco music) and everyone in the restaurant was happy. They even sang my partner happy birthday. I had the parpadelle and it was delicious! I would definitely go back again.

Pachamama East focuses on fresh seasonal produce and applies the bold flavours, aromas, textures and spices that make Asian food so utterly tasty. The restaurant offers a unique experience to its sister sites, which have developed a strong following for their vibrant food and ambience, as it is the first to explore the delicious spectrum of Asian flavours that are inherent in Peruvian cuisine.

Hammersmith
About the restaurant
Patri has several meanings, in Hindi it means Pavement, in Urdu it means Track and in ancient Sanskrit its means a vessel or small furnace. The name took us back to our origins and we decided to use Pavement, Tracks, and Furnace to come up with a street food menu containing all three elements. Our starters are street food classics on pavements in India and Pakistan. Our grills are freshly cooked in the tandoor at over 400 degrees to replicate cooking in a furnace. Our curries are inspired by the railway cooks on train journeys in India.

Founder and Head Cook Puneet Wadhwani, has created a never-before-seen menu bringing to life the snacks and dishes he once ate as a child growing up within a bicycle ride of New Delhi train station.
Experience the depth and aromas of Proper Indian Street Food.
With a small yet cozy outdoor deck enjoy our award-winning food and sip cocktails, medal-winning wines, and craft beer in a leafy village surrounding. Let us take you on a journey.

Amazing different Indian food - we popped up after visiting the Hammersmith Apollo - we’d read the reviews and it was well worth the detour.

It was a phenomenal night. Ignore old reviews, they’re definitely out of date. The cabaret was a real showcase of amazingly talented people between singers, a circus act, comedian and burlesque dancers this place has it all. Staff were lovely throughout the night; they sat us down and it’s table service during the show so the cocktails flowed all night. The place turned into a members club after the show but we were allowed to stick around until late. Fabulous place, definitely would recommend.
