Flora Indica

Flora Indica is a unique and stylish restaurant and lounge bar in the heart of Kensington and Chelsea, close to Earl's court tube. The eclectic decor pays homage to Scottish botanists who travelled throughout India in Queen Victoria's reign cataloguing its exotic flora and fauna. There is a funky mix of Harris tweed, steampunk and warm teak. The menu is not what you have come to expect from Indian food, instead the food is light dishes of delicately-spiced ingredients.

In keeping with the botanical theme, gin is the house speciality, although there is a full cocktail bar alongside an extensive wine and champagne list. There is even a dedicated Flora Indica beer crafted exclusively for the restaurant by the Portobello Brewery.
