Tandoori Chicken

Tucked away in the bustling heart of London’s Bow Lane, Pali Kitchen is redefining fast-casual Indian cuisine with a fresh and modern twist. The Pali Kitchen Menu offers a vibrant, build-your-own-bowl concept that’s both efficient for busy city workers and satisfying for those craving bold, comforting flavours.
At 13 Bow Ln, the venue is small but cleverly designed-bright, clean, and infused with an inviting aroma of warm spices. The menu revolves around customizable Indian street food bowls and wraps, letting you choose your base (rice or naan), a main (like butter chicken, saag paneer, or lamb keema), and top it off with vibrant salads, chutneys, and crispy papad. Each combination feels thoughtfully curated, with ingredients that are well-seasoned and surprisingly fresh for a quick-serve setting.
One of the standouts is the chicken tikka bowl with coriander slaw and mango chutney-a balanced mix of smoky, tangy, and spicy that feels miles ahead of traditional grab-and-go lunch spots. Vegetarian options are robust and satisfying too, with the paneer curry and chickpea chana proving especially popular.
Compared to competitors like LEON or Dishoom’s grab-and-go offerings, Pali Kitchen holds its own by staying hyper-focused on simplicity, speed, and flavour. It’s not just “Indian food made quick”-it’s Indian food made relevant for today’s fast-paced lifestyle, without compromising quality.
That said, seating is limited and peak lunch hours can feel hectic. But for those who prefer takeaway or delivery, the streamlined packaging and prompt service make it a reliable option.
In short, Pali Kitchen delivers an exciting, casual Indian dining experience that hits the sweet spot between tradition and modern convenience. Whether you're a City worker in need of a quick lunch or simply craving spice on the go, this spot is well worth a visit.
