Welcome to Gandhi’s Indian Restaurant & Takeaway, a cherished gem in the heart of Kennington, where tradition meets modern excellence. Established in 1982 by the visionary Zalal Uddin, Gandhi’s has been a staple of authentic Indian cuisine in London for over 40 years. With a rich background in catering management and a profound dedication to quality, Zalal Uddin brought his expertise to life in Gandhi’s, transforming it into the beloved institution it is today.
Gandhi’s was the very first Indian restaurant to open on Kennington Road, pioneering the introduction of Indian cuisine to the area. From the outset, our philosophy has been clear: to offer a menu that captures the rich diversity of India’s culinary traditions while delivering a dining experience that is both welcoming and memorable. Our ethos, inspired by the values of Mahatma Gandhi, centers around creating meaningful connections—not just with our food-loving customers, but with the very essence of what our restaurant represents.
At Gandhi’s, we take immense pride in our culinary heritage. Our chefs are the heartbeat of our restaurant, dedicated to maintaining a menu that honors India’s most traditional recipes while also meeting the refined tastes of the 21st century. From the moment you step into our restaurant, you’ll notice the difference: the aroma of freshly ground spices, the vibrant colors of our dishes, and the unmistakable flavors that can only come from using the finest, freshest ingredients.
Our commitment to quality is unwavering. Every dish at Gandhi’s is prepared with care, ensuring that each bite is a celebration of authentic Indian cuisine. Whether you’re a fan of classic curries, tantalizing tandoori, or the regional specialities that make Indian food so beloved, Gandhi’s offers a dining experience that is second to none.
Over the years, Gandhi’s has become much more than just a restaurant; it’s a cornerstone of the Kennington community. We’ve built a loyal following among locals, who return time and again for our exceptional service and mouth-watering food. Our reputation extends beyond our neighborhood—we’ve had the pleasure of serving numerous distinguished guests, including celebrities, television personalities, and even politicians from the nearby House of Commons.
Despite our success, we remain grounded in our original mission: to provide an unparalleled Indian dining experience in a setting that is comfortable, modern, and unpretentious. At Gandhi’s, everyone is welcome to savor the rich flavors of India, whether you’re dining in or enjoying a takeaway at home.
