On paper, Brigadiers sets a very bold image: based in the city, it’s an Indian barbeque joint with a pool table. Here, in Brigadier Restaurant London you can enjoy countless TV sets playing live sport. Brigadiers’ sprawling space, decked out in mahogany with oxblood leather and gold accents. It is in fact a welcoming and enjoyable place for just about anybody to eat and drink. Based in the Bloomberg Arcade, surrounded by strong dining competition. it’s one of those places that you can pop in for one drink, some small plates. It is a full sit down meal and you’ll always leave satisfied.
Firstly, don’t expect a peaceful dining experience for your date night – sure, it’s a great place to take a date, but it’s loud and atmospheric and busy. It’s not an intimate, ‘candle lit dinner for two’ kind of place, put it that way. The menu ranges from snacks of poppadoms and chutneys, bhajis, and goat belly samosas to kebabs, chops, and biryanis. Fiery small plates, meats grilled in a wood oven, and your favourite sides like naan and chapatis, are all followed up with soft serve ice cream mix in authentic flavours like chai, coconut, and pineapple.
The interiors are inspired by the army mess clubs of India, which probably isn’t something you have any first hand experience. So you’ll just need to trust that it works. The spacious ground floor brigadier london restaurant feels never ending, with a pool room alongside plenty of table.
It’s one of those places that feels expensive because it’s so well designed, and then you find yourself relieved when the bill comes and, actually, it’s pretty reasonable. Live sport is shown on demand, and you can wile away the hours playing pool or cards if you don’t want to leave as soon as you’ve eaten. Brigadiers is welcoming of drinkers as well as diners. So if you’re in the City it’s an easy place to aim for to fulfil your needs.

Brigadiers is easily some of the best Indian food in London. It’s served differently than you might expect from a traditional Indian restaurant but, in this case, that’s a good thing. The Indian barbeque twists sets it apart from other high-end takes on the traditional cuisine. And the soft drink culture adds a great atmosphere , City-lad territory.
