Bangalore Express epitomises the fresh and funky attitude of the South Indian city of which it is a namesake, offering a range of light and delicious fare that is wholesome and tasty. Contemporary and exciting, this smart restaurant is located in Corbet Court, opposite Leadenhall Market and is spread across two floors. The ground floor has a lively bar perfect for after work drinks and bites whereas the downstairs restaurant creates an intimate setting suitable for friends, couples or business people.

The menu is flexible, allowing you to choose something for a large group or just a single person and you could try the lamb meatballs in tempered mint yoghurt or chicken tikka supremes marinated in sweet red chillies and then roasted in the tandoor. There's the inimitable dosa, a savoury rice and lentil crepe filled with masala mash while the big plates with biryani, Caribbean curried goat or Indian fish and chilli chips are perfect choices. Bangalore Express has an excellent drinks list featuring over 25 wines by the glass as well as some exciting cocktails.
