A flavorful modern Indian stall in a striking converted church, best for butter chicken, naan-based dishes and a lively market setting, though pricing transparency and occasional portion or execution issues deserve attention.
Bindas Eatery delivers solid food quality anchored by standout dishes like butter chicken and lamb that earn consistent praise, paired with attentive service that keeps the experience welcoming. The historic church setting at Mercato Mayfair adds genuine appeal, though uneven execution across the full menu and occasional inconsistencies prevent a stronger grade. Core offerings shine, but reliability wavers beyond the signature items.
Bindas Eatery occupies a memorable corner of Mercato Mayfair, where a converted church, buzzing food-hall crowd and quick counter service create a much more atmospheric meal than its stall format suggests. One recurring impression is that the room feels “like a lively market inside a historic building,” and diners repeatedly praise the friendly team. It can become warm, crowded and loud, but the setting is a genuine draw. The cooking is modern Indian comfort food with plenty of crossover appeal: butter chicken, paneer, lamb curry and naan sit alongside a butter chicken burger, chaat-loaded fries and momos. Butter chicken is the safest bet, while the burger and tandoori chicken naan are particularly popular with repeat visitors. The menu is creative rather than strictly traditional, and a few diners have found chutneys too mayonnaise-like, curries too sweet or lamb portions too modest. Prices are moderate for central London but can feel high for a market stall, especially when an item’s price is not displayed. Families should find recognizable choices in the butter chicken, fries, naan, burger and kulfi, and one reviewer’s daughter became especially enthusiastic about the butter chicken. However, spice levels and sauce intensity vary, and the lively food-hall environment may be tiring for very young children or noise-sensitive diners. Ask about spice and confirm prices before ordering, particularly for the thali.
