Chowki
About Chowki
Named after the traditional Indian dining table, Chowki is anything but traditional when it comes to Indian eating in London. Mere moments from Piccadilly Circus, Chowki transports its visitors to the bustling streets of Mumbai with its exciting blend of street food and home-style cookery, a million miles away from the fayre of your typical curry house. A relaxed, canteen style setting makes for a charmingly laid back dining experience very much in keeping with the quirky menu which has earned Chowki a rather a good reputation among Indian food purists who cheerfully embrace the changing selection which varies between specific regional specialities from month to month.

Cafe-ish feel, very empty when we went, food was ok, nothing to write home about, everything just a bit average. Server tried his hardest to make up for the shortcomings in atmosphere and food though - good on him!
Disappointed again, service not great and the paneer tikka was over cooked and dry. Needs to improve before I visit here again!
Chowki is always a great place to eat at. It serves authentic India cuisine from different regions across India (i am indian so i can verify this!). Not much atmosphere but still recommended. Great value.
We enjoyed our meal at Chowki - the long, shared tables and Chowki "pots" made it a refreshing change from the standard Indian venue. Good value, friendly service, but atmosphere was a little lacking on a midweek night.
I ate at Chowki in the west end of London 3 years ago and was extremely impressed. The mango juice that they served at the time was the best I had tasted anywhere in the UK, and the food was great value for money. Because of those reasons I was looking forward to last night, but was disappointed. Once again I tried the mango juice, but whereas previously it was fresh, this time it was just a bottled version you can purchase in many shops and bars. The prices have also increased enormously.
