The story
Pravaas, at 3 Glendower Place in South Kensington, London, is an Indian restaurant that holds two AA Rosettes for 2026. Chef patron Shilpa Dandekar leads the kitchen, and the menu draws on regional Indian cooking. The restaurant also carries a Michelin Recommended listing for 2026.
Dandekar's cooking starts with the regional flavours and time-honoured recipes of India, many passed down through generations. The kitchen works with traditional techniques, and the spices are sourced with care, each chosen for its history and its role in the dish.
The pre-starter selection includes papad with tomato and mango chutney, served as an assortment of papadums, garlic tomato chutney and tempered mango chutney. Alongside the à la carte, the restaurant offers a lunch menu, a dessert menu, a beverages list and a wine list. The menu changes with the seasons, so dishes rotate through the year.
