Fantastic colonial Indian. The kid goat is delicious, duck egg bhurji with lobster is perfectly rich. Order a quinine sour too. Lily Rogers and Gabe Ulla were both raving about it and now I see why.
Cozy cocktail bar in a vintage style, friendlier than your average speakeasy. Their interpretation of a prairie oyster is a remarkable experience. Enjoyed the Terroir here with Eunji Choi.

NB: actually located at 1 Ely Court, on the Ely Place side of 8 Hatton Garden.
