Kricket brings together the energy of modern London with a bold, ingredient-led interpretation of Indian-inspired cooking. Mentioned in the Michelin Guide, the restaurant offers a dynamic menu that reflects an evolving culinary language — one built on flavour, structure and creative restraint.The kitchen draws from Indian traditions without replicating them, allowing for a contemporary perspective shaped by local produce and layered techniques. The result is a style that favours intensity without excess. Each dish is assembled with precision, using spice as a structural element rather than an accent, and presenting flavours that are direct yet composed.Menus are built for sharing, but there’s a sense of control behind every plate. Chargrilled vegetables may arrive with cooling yoghurt and crushed spice; a piece of meat glazed and finished over open flame, paired with an acidic element for contrast. The kitchen’s confidence is expressed through balance — heat and brightness, crispness and softness — always tightly held.The visual language of the food is clean, unfussy, and bold. Portions are structured to encourage variety across the table, but each dish remains self-contained, complete in its own identity. There’s a coherence to the way flavours unfold, from sharp and savoury small plates to richer, more grounded centrepieces.The restaurant is located at 12 Denman Street, London, W1D 7HJ, United Kingdom, in the Greater London borough of Westminster. The setting supports the tone of the menu: vibrant, urban and closely attuned to its surroundings. Kricket integrates bar and kitchen into a single flow, reflecting a style of dining that is both social and highly focused.Its mention in the Michelin Guide underscores a consistent level of execution — not anchored in tradition for its own sake, but in the thoughtful development of a distinctive voice. Kricket offers an experience that feels immediate and expressive, grounded in ingredients but framed by a strong culinary perspective.What emerges is a dining style shaped by rhythm and restraint — one that honours influence without imitation, and delivers impact through flavour, balance and quiet precision.
