About this space

Purple Poppadom is a contemporary Indian restaurant that applies an inventive, fine‑dining approach to classic curry dishes.

Design: The interior pairs dark painted ceilings and patterned wallpaper with exposed brick and a long, tufted banquette. The lighting uses oversized paper lanterns and low‑level fixtures while timber chairs and muted upholstery provide structured, modern detailing.

Features: A PA system and speakers are installed for announcements and background music. In‑house Wi‑Fi and permission to play your own music give hosts straightforward AV control. Street‑facing windows allow natural light into the dining area.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a polished, seated, fine‑dining experience in a contemporary setting.

What sets it apart: A Michelin‑recognised tasting menu that reinterprets traditional Indian flavours into layered, plated courses.

What guests say: The restaurant provides warm, attentive service and an elegant, well‑kept dining room.
