this is kricket. my best friend for the last 15 years. she was 17 years old today when i had to send her over the rainbow bridge. i am not doing okay. i am not handling this well at all. i feel like a chunk of my soul got ripped out. i hope she finds every snack she could ever want.

i told her to scout ahead and find a good spot, and promised i'd follow later and catch up to her. so she can bitch at me for taking so long.

OJT EATS | Kricket Canary Wharf

Over the last few years, Canary Wharf has been working hard to make itself more appealling than just a financial centre where people only go to because their office is there. Part of that has been getting a bunch of new restaurants to open up there, one of which is Kricket. This Canary Wharf outpost is their third one in total after their original in Brixton and their 2nd in Soho. Curious to see what it was like, we headed on down.

The menus across their locations are relatively similar. First up, we ordered the samphire pakora. Really well fried and crispy but we felt that there was just a little bit too much of the tamarind ketchup. The chilli garlic mayo that it came with was super more-ish!

Next up was the mutton seekh kebab. This came with pickled onions and an anchovy and walnut raita. The raita was an interesting flavour combination but one that worked. The mutton kebab was juicy and flavourful with just the right amount of char.

The place does a few different kulchas. We went straight for the most interesting (at least to us) version: the blue cheese and sage. The bread itself was delicious. It was light with crispy edges and with a pretty strong blue cheese flavour to it. Not flavours we were expecting in an Indian restaurant but tasty nonetheless.

This was the Mangalorean Chicken Gassi. It's a coconut chicken curry with just a little bit of a kick. The chicken had a crispy skin on it and the curry was rich, spiced and perfect with that blue cheese kulcha.

We love a good black dal and this was indeed a good black dal. This was creamy and rich. It was bursting with flavour and just needed more good bread to mop it up with.

Luckily, that's what we had with this brown butter paratha. It was flakey, stretchy, slightly chewy; all good things when it comes to paratha. With the size of the bowl of dal, we could've easily finished off another one or two of these!

Kricket is a great new addition to the Canary Wharf restaurant scene. Canary Wharf is definitely coming a long way from where it used to be and has itself a number of really good places to eat now. We'd definitely go back to Kricket for another meal.

I'm sorry if you answered this already but does your oc have a voice claim?

Ohhh I never thought of a voice claim for my oc before. But i guess the way I picture her voice is... well, the best way I can describe it is like a girl version of tuffnut (httyd) voice LMAOO
