Chor Bizarre celebrates 10 years Mayfair favourite, Chor Bizarre, celebrates 10 year and to celebrate this landmark anniversary, the restaurant is undergoing a series of changes. These include a new interior, new menu and Charles Metcalfe’s new wine list.

Located on Albemarle Street in Mayfair, opposite Browns Hotel and perfectly situated a mere two minutes walk from Dover Street Market, Chor Bizarre - India’s Restaurant – encapsulates the spirit of the Chor Bazaar or ‘thieves market’ and is dedicated to serving authentic Indian cuisine in a unique atmosphere.

After ten years the interior has been given a new lease of life. The resplendent furnishings and décor have been collected from the various bazaars of India and have been arranged to inspire diners by their surroundings. The interior uniquely represents the bazaar to which it owes its name.

Head chef Manpreet Singh Ahuja, has collated a unique collection of recipes from different parts of India for his new menu. Amongst the variety of regional Indian cuisines that the menu showcases, a unique one for London restaurants is Kashmiri. Chor Bizarre is the only restaurant outside the Kashmir Valley that has access to the secrets of the ‘Wazwan’ – the legendary ceremonial feast of 36 courses.

Having picked up numerous accolades over the last 10 years, Chor Bizarre - India’s Restaurant - has become a virtual ambassador for the best that India has to offer. Possibly it’s greatest accomplishment is the fact that one third of it’s clientele is Indian – a testimony to the authenticity of the cuisine and a ratio more than double that of any other Indian Restaurant in London.

The 10th anniversary is also showcasing a Pakistani Art exhibition at Chor Bizarre - an Art Gallery on the lower ground floor is due to host the exhibition to the end of December celebrating the work of entrepreneur Anjum Rana, whose creations allow the general public to bring this beautiful and intricate work into their homes.

The exhibition includes Pakistani truck art items ranging from the purely decorative to the functional - enamelled utensils commonly used in roadside restaurants as well as wall hangings, mirrors, key chains, oil lamps, boxes and other interesting and collectable items – all available to purchase.
