Nestled to the west of central London is the newly established Lentil Restaurant. Unpretentious and with a welcoming atmosphere, this local Ealing eatery specialises in serving up high-quality Nepalese and Indian cuisine. With earthy characteristics and fiery flavours, Nepalese cookery is reminiscent of a variety of Asian dishes. Known for its combination of pulses and grains with delicate spicing and fresh herbs, there is a flavour for all palates to be enjoyed.
A clean and modern interior awaits guests at Lentil. Accommodating staff will show diners to their table and ensure they enjoy a refreshing drink whilst exploring the menu. Chicken momo are essential to begin a Nepalese-style meal. These softly steamed dumplings are generously stuffed with succulent minced chicken, and are served with a spicy chutney for dipping. Traditional chhoyela is a mouth-watering starter dish of BBQ chicken or lamb marinated in garlic, ginger, and a special combination of Nepalese herbs - perfect when enjoyed alongside a cooling cucumber raita.
Once appetites have been whetted, diners can enjoy choosing their main meal from a varied menu. With a selection of more well-established curries alongside the house specials, Indian food lovers will not be disappointed with the choice of tandoori, tikka massala, and korma dishes. There's an extensive choice of classic sauces to be enjoyed with a range of fresh seafood, meat, or poultry, and a side of fluffy pullau rice. For those with a more adventurous appetite, the chilli chicken packs a mean punch; or the milder kerala fish comes with a creamy coconut sauce.
And with a range of vegetarian sides and mains available at Lentil, everybody will be leaving this little hidden gem having enjoyed a wholly satisfying meal.
