Essence by Atul Kocchar

Long awaited addition to Tunbridge Wells’s icon Georgian colonnaded pedistrian thoroughfare of smart boutiqies, galleries, al fresco bars and restaurants.

New born sister for the Orpington first born.

Much delayed opening beset by a global pandemic, builders and local government beaucracracy, finally opened in February 2024 introducing locals to real Indian food for the first time.  Grand split level affair with private dining and ample outdoor seating opposite the grandstand, ideally sitauated for summer jazz nights.

Recommended dishes:  Raj kachori, Malabar sea dass, hand-dived, baked scallops in a balchao spiced mix and apple saffron tart.
