If you love Indian food and are looking for a spacious, laid-back space with design flair for your next event, check out Thekaa. Thekaa is part pub and part Indian restaurant on the outskirts of London in Watford. The founders were inspired by the links between India and the United Kingdom and aim to bring together Indian cuisine and the culture of British pubs in a space that feels warm, welcoming and relaxed, while serving up a contemporary take on classic Indian dishes. It's a total win-win.
Thekaa has plenty of space to host your event, either in the main dining room or the colourful beer garden at the back of the venue, which is heated for all year use. Here, you can host 45 people, and as mentioned the area is totally covered and decked out with heaters, so it can be booked all year round and in any weather. This is a great spot for something easy going and lively like a birthday party, after work get together, or even a hen or stag event. Inside, you and your friends can actually take over the entire venue with a generous capacity of 150 people, which is perfect for huge parties, corporate events or even a wedding reception.
One thing you need when organising an event is a great menu and thankfully Thekaa is full of crowd pleasers. First up, why not start off with a selection of smaller bites to be shared easily with the group. We like the sound of the fried dumplings served with spicy Momo sauce, alongside battered onion bhajias and cheese stuffed Jalapenos served with chilli garlic dip.
Moving onto larger plates and there's loads to choose from, between hanging kebabs, hearty currys and wok-based dishes. Again, you could opt to share some plates together as a group, or go for your favourite as a main.
