‍The Review: Kricket Shoreditch

Bursting with bold flavours and vibrant plates, Kricket Shoreditch is reason enough to make the journey east.

Tucked away in the heart of Shoreditch, Kricket blends modern Indian cuisine with a laid-back London cool. Opened in March 2025, this Shoreditch location is the third outpost from the Kricket team, following the success of their Soho and Brixton spots. Seating around 70 guests, the restaurant offers a mix of high tables, cosy booths, counter seating at the open kitchen, and a tucked-away private dining room for more intimate gatherings. Open seven days a week, it’s perfectly suited for both a casual midweek supper and a full-flavoured weekend feast.

Settle in – what followed was a journey through spice, smoke and soul, where every dish told a story and every bite packed a punch.

We kicked things off with a trio of small plates that set the tone for the meal – punchy, playful, and elegantly put together. The Bhel Puri, a Kricket staple, was a moreish medley of puffed rice, tamarind, and yoghurt, offering a riot of texture and tang. The Purple Sprouting Broccoli Badami was a surprising standout – charred to perfection and dressed with an almond-rich sauce that added a creamy warmth. But the dish that had us reaching back for seconds was the Recheado Butter Prawns – smoky, spicy, and slicked with a luscious Goan butter sauce that clung to every bite.
