It is a truth universally acknowledged that finding an open restaurant in London after midnight is an arduous task. Stuck hungry in Hampstead we made our was through Dartmouth park towards a nearing kebaberie at Tufnell park tube. Hidden on a residential street amongst sleeping houses was Chameli. At first on seeing it open I thought I must have been delusional, something pushed me to go inside and ask if the kitchen was still open. Indeed it was and what a treat we got! Everything was nice - the owner, the cook , the atmosphere, the food...
We took prawn biryani and chicken korma. Flavoured just right they made us feel so full, and happy and high from all the spices. The pompadums where crispy and the dips flavoursome and of good texture. This all went down very well with a hearty bottle of red.
We were the last customers and we stayed as long as we needed, nobody rushed us or showed signs of uneasiness. Chameli is a great place to go, if you find it - 56 Chetwind road.
