Rishi’s
Most of us love a good curry from time to time but Rishi’s offers something more.
Specialising in authentic South Indian food, this restaurant goes beyond your bhunas, kormas and madras with things like foot-long dosas and Hyderabadi Biryani.
There are few better places to get a sense of India closer to home than Rishi’s
