小而舒適的氛圍中的現代印度美食. 我和我的朋友吃的每道菜都很好吃,但是,由於份量很小,我們確實點了很多盤子-太貴了!但幸運的是,我的朋友有-張味覺卡,我們的食物減了50%.Modern indian food in a small and cosy atmosphere. Every dish my friend and I had was very tasty, however, we did order many plates as the portions were small - very pricey too! But luckily my friend had a tastecard and we got 50% off food.

So glad I decided to stop by at Hankies for dinner.
Was craving desi food so bad and Hankies was a well rated place in Leicester Square, decided to pop in for a quick dinner.

The menu is slick and compact, it was easy to order and sit back.
Dal Makhni and Chicken do pyaza was absolutely delicious. Spot on flavors, authentic and the most surprising part?
It wasn't greasy or oily at all I loved the richness of flavors without the added grease, full marks there.
They serve all the appetizers and curries with only romali roti, yes, they don't serve any kind of breads other than that, quite a bummer! I missed my butter naan.
The portion size is small too, could definitely do better portions for the price they offer.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. Although several reviews mentioned a lack in courtesy of service staff, I felt no such issue and quite enjoyed my dining experience here
Will def reccomend it.

On a Friday evening, having just had a terrible meal at a restaurant on Shaftesbury Avenue, we were still hungry. That’s when I spotted Hankies café, Roomali Kitchen. I had to go in as I absolutely adore Roomali Rotis and the best place for them was the outdoor restaurant at Ashoka Hotel in New Delhi, many years ago.

Ordered 3 tawa lamb, 1 chicken, 4 lamb chops, prawns, pani puri, plain rice washed down with nimbu pani and water...
Food is full of delicious flavours, requiring no compliments or sauces. Portions are very small so wouldnt go if there if your a big eater. A tad pricey but worth the price..

First thing you should try their Lamb chops, Hanky’s and bhindi chat...where to start. Every dishes are signatory and cooked with love and spices. Yunis is one of best chefs in town who has got passion to offer mouthwatering dishes . Really recommend to visit this place and try their all dishes. 10 out of 10. Thanks Hanky’s team

Not sure I want to tell everyone about this! It’s ace. Firstly, it’s not a restaurant but a cafe style place so you might not wish to go there for the ambience but you must go there for amazing food, great service and value for money, all the reasons I score it a 5*. Not an extensive menu but a great selection of grilled dishes and saucy dishes. I chose black lentil Dahl, Delhi street food style chicken masala and boiled rice. I ordered a beer and a jug of water. The food was simply amazing, fresh, hot and perfectly cooked. £22 including a service charge that was automatically added to the bill (12.5%). Do not pass by this place.

A cosy little spot located in hotel! A very warm and friendly atmosphere here. Not a lot of seating but we managed to find a spot without booking at around 6pm. The menu has a good mix of non-veg and veg. Food was delivered in good time. Really good flavours and as it was a quick bite, we opted for light starters. The hanky romali roti is a must! Very fluffy and soft! Overall a pretty good experience with pretty good food! Not too experience either for central London prices.

This is a small cozy restaurant attached to the Hotel Piccadilly West End. You can also order food to your room. The food is tasty with spice level up to three chillies, 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ The curries are very fatty you will be full with one curry and three roomali rotis. If you want to try some Indian hot food this is place for you. Bear in mind, the place is advertised as Delhi Street Cafe but unfortunately it’s a false advertisement, there are no street food from Delhi on the menu.

Authentic north Indian/Pakistani food. Roomali roti is something rare to find in London and lives upto it's name! My mum who's north Indian enjoyed the food as well, so thumbs up! I would say though it would be good to have more choice on the menu. Shami or Chapali kebabs would be nice because in Lucknow, we eat roomali roti with kebabs. Also make dahi bare/balle with urad daal (not moong daal). Furthermore ,I think they should rename the place not hankies (aka the meaning of roomali) but why not roomali since it's their signature dish! All in all we enjoyed the food, it is highly authentic with great service.

Soho store still listed on the website, but appears to be permanently closed. Wasted trip, sadly. Edit: 2023 Soho is now reopen. Dining room very small, and bookings highly recommended. Favourites continues to be the lamb chops, and the masala fish.

Oh my God, I had another amazing vegan meal in London. This restaurant is in the hotel that I’m staying at the Piccadilly West End and it’s amazing. I had the jackfruit fried and.Saag!! And the hankie bread is beyond beyond. Please don’t miss this Indian gem!!

This is one of the few restaurants in London that serves Roomali roti and is highly recommended. There is a good variety of food and it is of good flavour and taste. The only critique I have is that I found the food to be overpriced given the portion size. So from this perspective it isn't great value for money. However, it is worth trying at least once.

Lovely food something very different to the usual Indian cuisine. We visited the Soho branch, unfortunately it was quite small. The service unfortunately was not great. If you are looking for some snacks in between breakfast and lunch best to come here. The portions are quite small , it's not somewhere you can have a dedicated meal for lunch or dinner. But a bit pricey for the portion size. However I salute you for being very unique with some of the food and having a twist .
