"Trailblazing Asma Khan has shattered culinary stereotypes, spotlighting the achievements of her all-female, immigrant-led kitchen. Darjeeling Express is run solely by women, who bring extraordinary life experience but no formal culinary training. Together, they’ve turned the operation from a humble supper club in Asma’s home to an internationally renowned destination that recreates dishes that blend Asma’s Mughlai heritage with her West Bengali upbringing. Dishes like tamatar gosht, prawn malaikari, and Calcutta lamb dum biryani, are presented in platters or thalis that evoke the warmth of a traditional Indian daawat, or special feast. The space is decorated like an Indian train station waiting room, with terracotta pots, ceiling fans, and greenery, symbolising the journeys of the South Asian diaspora. Time Out tip With so many greatest hits, it’s best to order the thali to sample a little bit of everything."

"An explosion of beautiful flavour. The tangra prawns are the best shrimp I’ve had in ages - succulent and tender - perfection. The channa chaat, korma paneer, and paratha were excellent. Exquisite cocktails too. Don’t bother with the toasties - I have no idea why these are on the menu, they are an average departure from an otherwise standout lineup. "

"Michelin Guide mention 2024 Chef’s table must The cooking of Kolkata and chef-owner Asma Khan’s Mughal ancestry inform the menu at this bright and breezy restaurant on the top floor of the perennially busy Kingly Court. Asma can be found chatting away with diners while the all-female kitchen team create authentic, vibrant dishes where careful spicing enhances the central ingredient. The menu is presented as an à la carte at lunch and served all together as a thali at dinner."
