Why Visit: If you’re looking for a swanky night out, look no further than Trishna. Located in the heart of London’s Marylebone Village, Trishna specialises in coastal Indian cuisine – and serious good cuisine, at that. The restaurant was awarded a Michelin Star in 2012, but don’t let that put you off, it’s known for its sociable, intimate dining vibe – no fancy stuff here. It’s lovely in the summer months, as Trishna’s doors also open onto the street, with a semi-outdoor feeling. Glorious.
