A celebrated Indian chef told me recently that the Indian food in London is better than anything available in Mumbai and New Delhi, so who I am I to argue? What's most exciting is a batch of new restaurants that makes it even better, going far beyond the traditional curry house and bringing a new-found creativity to the table.

These restaurants dig deeper into the country's culinary diversity. Some focus on regional cuisines—from areas such as Kolkata or Andhra Pradesh—while others celebrate street food and home cooking. There's even a £105 tasting menu ($130) with precision and beauty that calls to mind fine Japanese cuisine.
