Tamil Prince launches fast casual concept Tamila
The menu takes inspiration from South Indian cuisine.
The owners of the full-service restaurant Tamil Prince have launched a fast-casual concept called Tamila.
The restaurant will open on Clapham’s Northcote Road on 1 October.
Tamila is described as a new standalone concept with a casual edge, evolving from its food hall beginnings at Hackney Bridge in Hackney Wick to a fully-fledged restaurant in Clapham. After successfully testing and refining the concept in a dynamic food hall setting, Tamila will be the concept’s first bricks-and-mortar site and their first foray into South London.
The menu takes inspiration from co-founder and executive chef Prince Durairaj’s South Indian heritage, featuring dishes from Tamil Nadu and across the subcontinent. Whilst roti and curries will be a central component of the menu, guests can expect new additions and regular specials cooked in the tandoor for authentic Indian flavours.
The team will also be expanding its iconic bread offering, with the likes of Garlic coriander naan, Kulcha naan, and Peshwari sitting alongside the flaky roti they’ve become known for. Other highlights include a dedicated dosa section (Chilli cheese, Mutton uttapam and Masala dosa); a large snack selection featuring Chicken lollipops, Fried baby sweetcorn and Gobi 65; as well as Masala Poori (wheat flour puffed fried bread served with coconut chutney and potato masala
Tamila will also serve a curated drinks offering, featuring Indian-spiced cocktails such as Gunpowder Margarita, Tamil Negroni and Charcoal Old Fashioned, alongside the house Tamila lager and a concise selection of draught wine.
Tamila will be open seven days a week.
