I had the pleasure of attending Silk Road restaurant’s testing food event with friends recently. We had a wonderful time. It was a great family atmosphere. Everyone including children were enjoying the drink and good food. Excellent service from the host. Wish SilkRoad Restaurant all the best and prosperity in the future.

Was fortunate to have been invited to the pre-launch taster evening with my family. An important point to make, Silk Road is not just another Indian restaurant, as the name suggests it takes inspiration from the Silk Road, without being a cliche. How is it different? The main difference is the food is not stodgy and heavy, it is aromatic, flavourful and moreish. I tired multiple dishes, the stand out for me were the chicken biriani and the lamb biriani, there seemed to be a Persian influence to them and they worked well the more stewed type dishes. There were multiple grilled meats, kebabs and the fresh naan were exceptional. I can see what the owners are going for, not a run-of-the-mill flock wall paper curry house with cobra beer, the focus is on families of all ages, atmosphere and introducing different options to what we are used to in an unpretentious way. There is a slight resemblance to Tayyabs in Brick Lane, but again different. There were multiple tasty mocktails and drinks that adults and children could enjoy. I saw there were milkshakes and I've looking forward to the loaded naan. Looking forward to the official opening to update on the final menu and prices. A welcome addition to Caterham.

Had an amazing evening at a private tasting session at this new family restaurant! The food was exceptional, and I can already tell this place is going to be a hit. Wishing them all the success for their grand launch—can’t wait to return!

Had the pleasure of attending the taster evening, great authentic food, good service and a lovely warm welcoming atmosphere, would highly recommend!
