Best Indian Pre-Theatre Restaurants in London

For a pre-theatre Indian restaurant in London, Farzi London brings modern Indian cuisine, creative presentation, cocktails and a lively Haymarket setting together at 8 Haymarket, London, SW1Y 4BP.

Located close to the West End and His Majesty's Theatre, Farzi is made for turning a theatre booking into a complete night out.

Why Farzi for Pre-Theatre Dining?

Farzi takes familiar Indian flavours and gives them a contemporary twist. The current menu features dishes such as Murg Malai Kebab, Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani, Murg Kali Mirch Kaliyan, Lamb Rara and Bademiyan Beef Boti Kebab, alongside creative small plates and vegetarian choices.Want to try a little more?

Taste of Farzi

The Taste of Farzi is £39.95 per person and lets diners build their experience around bites, starters and a choice of mains. The classic menu includes options such as Murg Malai Kebab, Coconut Fried Prawn, Duck Khurchan Cornetto, Murg Kali Mirch and Lamb Rara, with dal makhni, butter naan, peas pulav and raita included with the mains.

For vegetarian diners, Farzi also offers a dedicated vegetarian Taste of Farzi with options including Dal-Chawal Arancini, Chevre Kebab, Palak Paneer, Mix Vegetable Kadhai and Rajma Masala.

And don't leave without looking at dessert. The menu includes the Very Berry Parle G Cheesecake, Rasmalai Tres Leches, Mango Mastani and a gluten-free Spiced Chocolate Brownie.

Looking for Something Made for Theatre Plans?

Farzi's Thali Menu offers a selection of North Indian dishes served together, available Tuesday to Saturday from 12pm to 3pm at £18.95 per person, for up to six people. It includes dishes such as Spinach & Kale Chaat, Rajma Masala, dumplings, Murg Kali Mirch and a choice of mains including Butter Chicken, Palak Paneer and Mixed Vegetable Kadhai, with rice, naan, raita, papad, chutney and chocolate brownie.

For a West End visit, that gives you another way to experience Farzi's Indian flavours without choosing a traditional three-course dinner.

And Then There's the Sunday Roast Thali

If you're visiting on Sunday, Farzi has introduced something rather different: the Sunday Roast Thali at £29.99 per person.

It combines a live chaat counter featuring pani puri and aloo tikki chaat with a choice of roast, including Rampuri Lamb Leg, Bhatti Ka Murg, Tareli Macchi Tava or Changezi Malai Broccoli & Paneer Kebab.

Each Thali is served with accompaniments including dry vegetable subzi, tadka dal, boiled egg bhuna, roasti jeera aloo, rice, naan and nakhas curry sauce.

Dessert can also be added, with options including Rasmalai Tres Leches and Berry Cheesecake.

It's a Sunday experience worth knowing about especially if your plans involve food before an afternoon or evening around London's West End.

Make Your Theatre Night More Than a Show

Farzi isn't only about the food. The restaurant's current events calendar also features live music, including special evenings dedicated to artists such as Kishore Kumar, Anu Malik, Atif Aslam and R.D. Burman.

So if your theatre plans happen to fall around one of Farzi's live music evenings, dinner can become an experience in its own right.

Your Show Is Booked. Is Your Table?

Theatre evenings around Central London can fill up quickly. Rather than leaving dinner until the last minute, plan the whole evening from the start.

Choose your show. Choose your menu. Then reserve your table at Farzi London.
