Atul Kochhar set to deliver another gastronomic treat

The impressive gastronomic line-up in Marlow, Buckinghamshire is set to add a unique new

culinary destination to its menu.

Sindhu by Atul Kochhar, the latest restaurant from the Michelin-starred

chef, will open its doors in the luxury Macdonald Compleat Angler hotel in

November.

Atul, a world-renowned chef-patron and the first ever to win a Michelin

star for Indian cuisine, is universally acknowledged as having transformed

the way we perceive and experience the food of his native country. His

head chef Gopal Krishnan, like Atul, has undergone the revered Taj Hotel

training - an unbeatable culinary education in India. He’s also worked in

some of the UK’s best kitchens including Mint Leaf and Tamarind.

The sophisticated menu is designed to celebrate the very best of traditional

Indian cuisine in a contemporary manner. And the idyllic setting in a beautiful hotel on the

picturesque banks of the River Thames, is a surefire recipe for success.

The menus are inspired by Atul’s love of traditional Indian cuisine, kept alight by his continuous

research into ever-evolving regional dishes, combined with his dedication to using the finest British

ingredients. The result is an innovative style of authentic modern Indian cuisine that is totally

unique. So you’ll find deliciously distinctive creations such as Hiran ka Boti (venison saddle with

cardamom and mace), Meen Moilee (wild sea bass with coconut moilee sauce) and Bathak Falliyan

(Gressingham duck breast with three bean stew and coriander cress) to name a few.

For those struggling to make a decision among all the tempting options, the tasting menu offers a

delicious solution, featuring a specially chosen selection of appetisers, mains, sides and dessert. The

most carefully selected ingredients, the subtlest of spicing, the most exciting flavour combination -

every dish has been designed with more than a dash of that legendary Kochhar magic.

All this in a beautifully designed space with breath-taking

views across the Thames. The transformation of the previous

restaurant, took inspiration from the rivers of India and their

connection to culture and life. The result is an impeccable

fusion of complementary colours. Set against the backdrop of

its peaceful riverside location, the splashes of golden saffron

across the plush furniture, striking tributary-style carpet and

vibrant canvases are blended with subtle muted tones to

create a comfortable, welcoming space that is both elegant and eclectic – the perfect setting for

Atul’s sophisticated cuisine.
