Creative modern Indian with standout small plates and lively vibe, but mixed mains, small portions, and added fees mean great for flavor hunters, not bargain seekers.
Kricket Shoreditch delivers competitive modern Indian dining with strong small plates and creative curries paired with warm, attentive service. However, inconsistent seasoning and execution on mains, combined with cramped seating and modest portions relative to pricing, prevents grade A-level standing. Worth visiting for adventurous diners seeking contemporary Indian flavors in a lively Shoreditch setting.
Lively Shoreditch energy meets modern Indian flair here, with staff who guide you through sharing plates and a bar perch overlooking the kitchen. A diner summed it up: "Starters dazzled; mains were mixed," and some felt the QR payment extras dulled the glow. The cooking style is creative and produce-driven, remixing Indian flavors into contemporary small plates rather than strict tradition. Fried chicken, duck curry, and playful breads win fans, while a few mains read soft on spice or portion size. Cocktails and brunch earn steady praise when you want modern comfort without heavy fare. Families should know the breakfast menu has kid-friendly anchors like eggs, bacon rolls, hash browns, fruit, and fluffy naan. Dinner tilts adventurous, so picky eaters may stick to simpler breads and rice while curious kids enjoy sharing bites. No formal kids menu noted.
