TANGRA Soho

This October, Soho will see the opening of TANGRA a new day-to-late-night venue, dedicated to the eponymous neighbourhood of Kolkata, known for its the historic heart of Indo-Chinese cooking – from the city’s Hakka Chinese community, who blended their traditional Chinese methods with Indian spices and local ingredients to create a cuisine uniquely their own. The culinary style has since travelled and transformed, finding new expressions from Mumbai’s street stalls, Kathmandu’s bustling carts, and beyond.

TANGRA’s menu developed by Chef Nikesh Sawantand , drawing on flavours from India, Tibet, Nepal, and the wider diaspora. Chef Nikesh’s career spans kitchens across India, Dubai, Australia and the UK, most recently as development chef at Mildreds.

Chef Sawant said: “TANGRA is food with fire and attitude, shaped by our team’s roots, stories and creativity. We only work with the freshest produce and quality suppliers to make sure every bite explodes with freshness and flavour. From the smokiness of the wok to the punch of chilli and garlic, this cooking is an evolution of Indo-Chinese cuisine for pure enjoyment.”

The menu is designed for sharing and celebrating: with an array of dishes, with morsels that showcase how indulgent and exciting Indo-Chinese cuisine can be.

The restaurant hopes to serving up fast, fiery plates showcased in Chilli Paneer Hakko, Himawan Sadeko Chick’n and TANGRA Special Combination Rice, e “bursting with attitude and spice.”

The 60 cover eaterie with remain open from lunchtime until 1:30am.
