"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."

"5/2024: Remember Darjeeling Express? Not the Wes Anderson movie (that was The Darjeeling Limited), but the Indian restaurant that was nigh on impossible to get a seat in due to self-taught chef Asma Khan’s wonderful food, her subsequent TV fame (she was on Netflix’s Chef’s Table) and because, well, it was a bit small. Now, after a five year venue search and short stint in Covent Garden, Khan is back where she started in Kingly Court, with much more space to work with (including an open kitchen), her returning cast of female chefs, and her legendary family recipes, like Bengali goat curry and beef tamatar gosht."

"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. "

"Darjeeling Express started out as a 12-seat Indian supper club where one-time lawyer Asma Khan found her sea legs as a chef. Now, after a stint as a pop-up, Khan has settled in Soho, into an airy top-floor premises in the restaurant-filled Kingly Court. The one-page menu recreates Khan's childhood favorites, from her family’s Mughlai recipes to Kolkata’s vibrant street-food snacks. Her hand-picked chefs have no formal training, but there’s serious talent at work; from puffed-up puri to spiced mutton kebabs, every dish delivers. Khan is in her element, greeting guests and handing out chai, while her all-women team cooks up a storm in the busy, semi-open kitchen. CN"

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."
