a refreshing beer, to a sumptuous grilled Seabass,
Plaice or Halibut washed down with a fine glass of
wine. It’s recommended by Time Out magazine.

Haandi
London’s finest classic Spanish tapas bar and
restaurant. According to two leading restaurant
critics: ‘El Pirata offers me everything I look for in a
restaurant. Fine food, excellent choice, comfortable
surroundings, marvellous service and a bill at the end
that doesn’t give me indigestion!.’
‘A feast of tasty dishes. Starting with cold tapas,
huge prawns, juicy chorizo and ham, seafood and
Russian salad. Then an array of hot tapas dishes
which kept coming. Mmmm!’
This is an extremely popular venue - not surprisingly,
given its excellent reviews in restaurant guides such
as Zagat, Harden’s and Square Meal.

El Pirata De Tapas
D CAMDE
Specialising in North Indian Frontier cuisine, Haandi’s
masalas are freshly-prepared daily and everything
is created in house. It is a truly authentic Indian
restaurant aimed at a clientele that knows its raitas
from its rotis.
Enter from Cheval Place at the rear and a small
bar area opens onto the plush, lush main salon.
Decorated with tropical greenery, muted colours,
exquisite fabrics and sparkling mirrors – it leaves no
doubt as to Haandi’s East African origins. The glassenclosed
kitchen provides the focal point, as watching
the chefs at work adds an element of drama to the
whole dining experience.
Haandi has two entrances:
136 Brompton Road, SW3 1HY and 7 Cheval Place, SW7
1EW. 020 7823 7373. Ë Knightsbridge.
