Fatt Pundit

It seems to be much harder after all the lockdowns we’ve had to be out and find a place to eat without having booked in advance.  We were stuck in that situation a little while ago around Covent Garden but we were able to grab ourselves a table at Fatt Pundit.

Fatt Pundit does food that is a bit of a fusion of Chinese and Indian food with influences from Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet.  We started off with some Nepalese momos.  These were the beef ones but they also had chicken, veg and goat ones available.  These were delicious.  They were really well spiced and the skin had just enough of a bite to them. 

This dish was Hakka Chilli Paneer lettuce cups.  This wasn’t quite what we were expecting but tasty none the less.  It had quite a hefty kick to it which might be a bit much for some but I enjoyed it.

We got a couple of lamb chops as well.  These were some of the best lamb chops we’d had in a while!  They were perfectly pink and really thoroughly marinated.  They were a little spicy but not overpowering with a lovely smokey char.

This was a dish of chilli beef strips.  Surprisingly, this was possibly the least spicy of the meat dishes that we had but the beef was really tender and flavourful. 

The beef came with this mantou that was lightly, fluffy and great to soak up the juices and sauce of the beef.

We wanted to be healthy so went for the broccoli.  They had a lovely crunch to them and the roasted almonds were a very nice touch.

We also ordered the bing bread.  This was like a roti in that it was flaky,crisp and buttery.  This went really well with the meat dishes and was as good as any roti I’ve had recently.

For dessert, we had the Lady Kenny.  I feel like this was very similar to gulab jaman.  It was fried and soaked in a sugar syrup so was very sweet.  It was still a nice way to end the meal but I’m glad it was a pretty small portion.

Overall, we really enjoyed our meal at Fatt Pundit.  It was a really unusual mix of flavours and cooking techniques but they all worked well together.  I’d definitely go back and try a few more of their dishes (and to have another of those bing breads!)

Beef, chicken and vegetable momos served with spicy chutney at indo-chinese restaurant Fatt Pundit in Soho. Delicious food and there is a separate halal menu. They're still going with the 50% off Eat Out To Help Out scheme until the end of this month!
