Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Swiss Cottage

We booked at Jamavar, one of our favorite Indian restaurants, initially for their early 3 course dinner. A few days prior, the restaurant notified me that due to Diwali, that one menu was not available. We decided to order off the á la carte menu and were not disappointed. We started the meal with a glass of wine (the Malbec was the best choice), and then ordered two small plates, soft shell crab and octopus, both delicious. The crab would have been better sautéed instead of being deep fried, but was still very good. The octopus was probably the best octopus preparation we have ever had. In addition to this, we ordered the festive game feast, which consisted of two roe deer chops, a venison stuffed bread, paratha, and rice pilaf. We finished with tea (the masala chai was yummy) and the assorted sorbets (cherry and black pepper, mandarin orange and ginger, and coconut). Very creative and the perfect ending to the meal. Service was impecable and the pacing of the meal right on. Dinner, with gratuity and tax, was £182 for the two of us. Expensive, but a true dining experience.

Good that makes you leap with joy!!! It’s not easy to find excellent Kolkata food and here, not only did we find it, it surpassed every expectation. This restaurant fed my soul as well as my belly. And the staff and service was perfect - warm and friendly without being intrusive. Cannot recommend it enough.

This is a great restaurant- really tasty and fresh food with delightful service. It is very reasonable too!

Fantastic Thai food at Speedboat Bar at Electric! Every dish was packed with bold, authentic flavours and beautifully balanced spices. The whole fish curry was especially delicious, and the other dishes were equally impressive. Vibrant, exciting food with a great atmosphere. Definitely a place I’d happily return to.

The food was delicious and the portion sizes were massive. We tried a variety of foods like roti canai, nasi goreng and the chicken wings. The flavour was delicious and we also didn’t have to wait long for the food to come. Overall I will deffo be going again!!
