Our Story

A wish, served on a plate.

Mannat means a wish made with hope — and that’s exactly what every dish here is. Recipes carried from grandmothers in Amritsar, refined with the calm confidence of modern London dining.

No overcrowded silver. No overwhelming spice. Just food made with intent, served by people who’d rather know your name than rush your bill.

We had the samosas and plain naan with tadka dal, and everything was absolutely delicious😋. The samosas were crispy and flavourful, while the plain naan was soft and fresh. The tadka dal was rich, comforting, and full of flavour. Overall, a really satisfying meal with great taste and quality. Would definitely recommend giving this place a try!
