Darjeeling Express :: Authentic Indian food by Asma Khan at Sun and 13 Cantons in Soho
The Setting : a classic English pub on the corner of Great Pulteney Street and Beak Street in Soho . You walk in, get jostled among the crowd at the bar and make your way to the back of the crowded room. There is a room at the rear, full of plush leather booths with emerald tiled walls. The warm lighting and lit candelabras create a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You say you have a reservation, get led to your table and gaze appreciatively at your menu. The Location : The Darjeeling Express pop-up restaurant run by Asma Khan in the Sun and 13 Canton pub in Soho . Not quite your typical restaurant, not quite a supper-club – this is a temporary takeover of Sun and 13 Canton kitchen’s by Asma, serving authentic Mughal cuisine with Bengali roots.
