North West London welcomes a heart and soul-warming addition to its portfolio of family and social-oriented eateries as Indian fusion restaurant, Flavours, opens its doors in Edgware. With its décor matching its fusion style food, each area of the restaurant is characteristically different, from the distinctive, yellow Chesterfield couches and white pebbled bar-front to the exposed brick walls and subdued, tea light-enhanced alcoves.
 
Flavours is unique in combining its carefully edited menu of delectable Indian fusion cuisine and comfortable dining backdrop with a vibrant bar environment that has no shortage of screens to enjoy both Bollywood songs and live sports. Additionally, the restaurant boasts a playing area dedicated to the infamous game of Carrom, for adults and children alike, with the aim of hosting regular Carrom events and tournaments. The outdoor area provides for perfect summer lounging and enjoying the desserts menu al fresco, with a designated shisha area planned for younger adults, catering to all social tastes.
 
Launched by the successful restaurateurs behind Bloomsbury-based, South Indian fine dining restaurant, Malabar Junction, whose previous restaurants include Utsav, Kensington and Malabar, Lincoln, the immaculately designed eatery spares no attention to detail. With a capacity of 110 across a variety of table sizes to cater for small to large groups, the open planning and communal environment, with no private dining areas or booths, encourages an extremely social and warm ambience.
 
The Flavours philosophy is about consistently delivering high quality cuisine, with the utmost importance placed on the food served to ensure diners keep coming back for more amid a sociable environment for families and friends. The kitchen is presided over by coveted Head Chef, Anil Panchal. Originally from Mumbai, his previous tenures include a portfolio of 5-star hotels such as the luxury Oberoi Group and Centaur Group, as well as establishing the first Indian restaurant in Antigua’s world-famous Jolly Beach Resort – Utsav. Anil has curated a menu that draws inspiration from Indians living across the globe, whose cuisines have adapted to local flavours to create ever-dynamic fusions with culinary twists. Flavours captures the variety of Indian cooking from around the world, presenting a bespoke menu with a further South East Asian influence.
