The acclaimed Indian restaurant has agreed terms to open a new fine dining and all day deli concept in Covent Garden in autumn 2020.
Darjeeling Express started as a dinner for 12 guests at home, serving Indian food lovingly cooked from family recipes that go back generations. Having initially opened in Kingly Court in 2017, founder Asma Khan is expanding to a larger site, complete with the all-women team who run the kitchen.
The new concept will see Darjeeling Express offer an all-day casual dining deli menu, including takeaway options and daily specials. The ‘Railway Menu’ is inspired by the all-day breakfast available in train stations in India. In mid-October, Darjeeling Express will launch three tasting menus for the first time, including a vegan menu and a Biryani tasting menu, plus a Sunday brunch which will be available for walk-ins.
The Darjeeling Express restaurant will be joining Covent Garden’s unparalleled offering of international cuisines including Frenchie, SushiSama, Din Tai Fung, The Oystermen and many others.
