We're consistently impressed with the standard of cooking at this agreeable neighborhood restaurant, and so too are local north Londoners. When we visited, ERIKI was crowded with customers tucking into delectable pan-Indian choices. Brightly decked out in vibrant Bollywood colours, chunky wooden antiques and traditional carved screens, the restaurant exudes a relaxed vibe, complemented by an utterly charming service team. The food rivals, and indeed betters, that served at many top-end restaurants. The reasonable prices also score highly with punters. A first course of haryali scallops won our gold star for quality. Juicy scallops were cloaked in a creamy sauce exhibiting delicate garlic and coriander tones: a marvelous rendition of Indian coastal flavours. More contemporary in nature, a dish of flash-fried slices of duck breast, simmered in pounded pink peppercorn and tangy tamarind masala, was notable for its sweet yet tart sauce (a perfect match with steamed rice). Vegetarian dishes were also a triumph; own-made paneer, meltingly soft to the touch, worked particularly well with a clinging masala of cooked-down tomatoes, peppers and onions. With its exciting blend of classic and Modern Indian dishes, Eriki is one of London''s unsung champions.

Head Chef at ERIKI, Naresh Matta came from Soho Spice and it showed through the excellent meal. We're told ERIKI is rammed full at the weekends and it's easy to see why, restaurants of this quality are hard to find!
