Stumbled upon this restaurant on a visit to the nearby cinema with no booking on what appeared to be a fairly busy Saturday evening. Staff were efficient, decor was stylish but cosy and the food was great. Yes it is pricey but I imagine there are big overheads to be paid for such a position on a busy London road. Looking forward to eating here again on our next cinema outing and will probably book next time to avoid disappointment. A real treat.

Now and again you'll chance upon a cracker of a restaurant. In offering that holy trinity rarely found in Indian restaurants - excellent service, delicious dishes and a good atmosphere - ERIKI's one of them. You'll find it in swanky Swiss Cottage, close to the tree-lined neighbourhoods of Hampstead and St John's Wood. Spicy by nature and by look, ERIKI's decor is a sophisticated fusion of traditional imported Indian furniture and contemporary western finishes aka brightly coloured walls and gleaming white plates. Above all else, what marks this Indian out is the food. An impressive range of skillfully prepared dishes means that vegetarians and non-vegetarians are spoilt for choice. If you're after signature dishes, opt for murgh xacuti, a rich chicken curry with individually roasted ground spices from Goa, koh e rogan josh - a classic kashmiri lamb curry, or from the a la carte menu, sea fresh sea bass fillets marinated with peri peri spices and served in a sizzling hot masala sauce. You could even go the whole hog and try a special Indian cocktail.
