After being ranked among the 'Best 10 Restaurants in London' by The Independent in 1999, Chor Bizarre - India's Restaurant has now been awarded the prestigious title of 'Best North Indian Restaurant in the UK' by the Cobra Good Curry Guide'. Pat Chapman, founder of the Curry Club presented the award to Chor Bizarre February 19, 2001.

This comes close at the heels of another prestigious laurel - the "Best in Britain" award with the highest grading of "Five Domes" and an exceptional "Red D" for 'distinctive cuisine of the highest standard' that were conferred upon Chor Bizarre by the National Dome Grading Scheme.

Capturing the spirit of the 'Chor bazaar' or 'thieves market' within its kaleidoscopic interiors, the restaurant is a veritable Aladdin's cave of curious bric-a-brac and fascinating antiques. The resplendent furnishings and decor have been collected from various bazaars of India and have been creatively arranged so as to inspire the diner to venture beyond his immediate and uniquely decorated surrounds and explore the wealth of objects d'art displayed in each corner. Nothing matches, yet everything gels!

Chor Bizarre has collected the best-known dishes from different corners of the country, to make your gastronomic journey complete. Our chefs have endeavoured to stay true to the actual origin of each regional dish, honestly recreating flavours that one would normally associate only with home cooked food. Chor Bizarre brings you authentic Indian cuisine in a setting that is unabashedly Indian.

Chor Bizarre has also matched every dish on the menu with three wines in order of preference, put together by the internationally acclaimed ITV wine presenter Charles Metcalfe. Every dish on the menu is matched with three wines that go along fabulously with it, in order of preference.

Lending further credence to Chor Bizarre's patriotic vision is the commitment to showcase Indian arts, crafts, culture, entertainment and talents of all sorts from the sub-continent. In this direction it has hosted several programmes in the past ranging from book readings, comedy evenings, creative writing workshops to theatre/movie festivals…and much more!

Another feather in the very colourful cap of a restaurant that has become a virtual ambassador of the best that India has to offer.
