Silka

About

Silka's unprepossessing doorway hard by the entrance to Borough Market doesn't give the true flavour of the delights that wait within. The basement restaurant is decorated in a modern, minimalist style in keepingwith the sophisticated mix of clientele it attracts. The Indian menu features low-fat, healthful foods skilfully prepared with dishes geared to make you feel light and energized or calm and chilled out. Loads of people drop in for one of their lunchtime platters or to grab a power lunch box toenjoy out in the sunshine. The Ayurvedic dishes with choice of lamb, chicken, prawn or veg are very popular. If you're seeking long-time favourites, check out the Simply Indian choices like chicken tikka masala orlamb rogan josh. More adventurous souls should dip into the Showbites, where East meets West in dishes like shank of lamb braised in ginger and garlic paste. Silka is another winning entry in the groovy SE1 dining stakes.

Got a health-conscious group to organise, friends who treat their bodies as temples? Then Silka is the place to meet. This is one restaurant dedicated not only to the delights of the palate, but also to the health and well-being of its clientele. It's nonsmoking except for the bar area. TheIndian menu is geared to both flavourful healthful dishes, but also to the effect on diners' mood and attitude. There is no private room as such, but groups are very welcome in the main dining room, or you can hire the entire venue seating up to 60 or entertaining up to 70 people standing for aterrific party or launch. It's a cool, funky venue suited to the way we live now. What's cooking? Choices range from Ayurvedic dishes with choice of lamb, chicken, prawn orveg, to familiar Simply Indian dishes like chicken tikka masala, to Adventurous Showbits, like lamb braised in ginger and garlic paste.
