HUNGRY.

Me loves me’s a-bitta Kricket.

A raucous rollercoaster of Mumbai-melting, Bombay-bouncing, spice-slapping flavour

Bowls you over.

Smacks tastebuds for 6.

Often, with my brother, we roll up, hunker down, nestle in, zonk out at their Brixton site: unadulterated gluttony erupts.

And, the name, Kricket - I think - maybe - is one the greatest brand names of all time.

Cricket, the sport, played in England and India.

Marries the two countries.

Kricket, the restaurant, combining British Ingredients with the flavours and aromas of India.

And, the “K” is so iconic.

to me it represents

doing things differently

questioning everything.
