With imposing signage over its Lavender Hill door, Panahar Indian Restaurant might be hard to miss but that doesn’t mean it isn’t occasionally overlooked. In an area where restaurants can be found at every turn, this is a place you can rely on. Shunning fad for a classically sophisticated look, the dining room at Panahar is simply put together with polished wooden floors, a black and white decorative scheme, contemporary lighting and attractive artworks over each table. Accordingly the waiters are dressed to the nines in white shirts and black bowties, each one friendly and professional, serving meals picked from a large menu which gives an excellent overview of those Indian dishes that we all love – from Biryani to Tandoori.
