Why on earth would you put ice cubes in a milkshake? Been here a few times, it’s really not a great place to dine. Musics good though. When you order, stick to ice cream and bottled drinks.
My london visit started with this place as i got out of my apartment i saw this place in shoreditch and i went straight in. The place was empty as it was quite late on Sunday night. I ordered couple of beers, chicken and plain naan.Food was fresh, nicely prepared, ample quantity and very yummy. Staff was very welcoming.Place has also got lot of space and has theme of bollywood across. So after this i went there one again and would definitely go again in my next trip.

This restaurant was reviewed highly on other sites so decided to check out why it was different on here.It’s an interesting space, close to Dishoom and Brick lane, this place has in so many ways lots to live up to. Set in the Richmix Cinema, I though it was a bit of a strange location, but it looks like they seem to be doing ok as the place has a nice vibe.. Themusic was relaxed, Caribbean/ reggae and the wall writing along with the palm trees outside with tables and chairs gave the place a beach feel to it! You could be in Goaor the Caribbean! ;-)We visited on a Wednesdaynight and there was a large group eating, and about6 other tables had diners! There was a constant flow of people who were getting drinks for the cinema which was nice so it did not feel slow. The staff were warm, chatty but not intrusive. We orderedtwo beers and were asked to play a little game with the wall. The headings of the drinks were done in logo’s of films. We did ntoget them all correct but we got a discount. It was a lovely touch! We only had somfood from the ‘Chaat Bites’ – SamosaChaat and Papri Chaat. Both were AMAZING! Fresh flavours,stunningcolours and amazing tehtastes set your taste buds on alive! Indian Street food at it’s finest! Cant wait to go back to this place for a full on curry! The other food looked amazing and the smell was bang on! It was not too pricy! If you are looking for a fresh place with traditional curries and street food, this place got it in bucket loads!
Indi-Go Cafe is a cute, little bar and restaurant attached to the Rich Mix cinema in Shoreditch. It makes for a convenient bite to eat on either end of a date night at the movies!Ambiance: 3.0Washed in blue, turquoise and dark browns, it’s a quirky little location with lots of windows and big booths. During the day time, it has somewhat of a cafeteria feel to it, but by night it takes on more of a proper dining ambiance. That being said, it isn’t anything fancy, and a few of the overhead lights seemed to be on the fritz, flickering, flashing and leaving us wondering if there was a lightning storm going on !Service: 2.5A bit subpar. The waitress was sweet, but very distracted. My meal came about 15 minutes before my companion’s.Food: 3.5Surprisingly yummy! After my very mixed experiences in Brick Lane, I have been left with a lot of worry when it comes to dining on Indian food if I haven’t properly read reviews first. I was pleasantly surprised, though, with Indi-Go’s Samosa Chaat. It wasn’t exactly what I would call purely authentic, but the heap of flavourful samosa, veggies, yogurt and spicy sauce, was delicious! A bit hotter than I expected, though! The tandoori lamb was smokey and flavourful! I’ve only ever had the chicken variety, but this was a nice and unique change.Final Verdict: Great for an easy date night, but nothing special. I will be back for post or pre cinema snacks.
We were keen to check out Indigo, a bright and cheerful restaurant that has opened up next door to Rich Mix cinema. Rich Mix is one of our favourite places, with a great line up of comedy, music and independent cinema.First impressions of Indigo were good, loved the light and airy space.We kicked things off with a mango lassi. Our first ones were a bit pale and anaemic, but our second ones seemed to have about 50% more mango which was better.Starters came from the street food section. I went for pav bhaji which is a spicy vegetable curry served with toasted bread. I found the curry to be a bit too tomato-ey which made it a bit one dimensional. I would have liked it if they had served it with the butter on the side so I could determine how buttery my bread was and also if it had more fresh onion on the side so I could pep it up.J had ordered the Aloo Tikki Ragda, crisp potato cakes made with ginger, onion, cumin and coriander and served with a tamarind sauce, but ended up getting a mishmash of two dishes of Aloo Tikki Ragda and Channa Poori. He was expecting crisp exterior and soft centre potato cakes, but instead got soggy potato cakes as they were smothered in chickpeas curry. Not sure what possessed the kitchen to do this. Each of them would have probably been good on its own but not together. Also, the channa masala had a strong bias towards tomato and could not taste the traditional spices and chilli notes. It was pleasant overall to eat with the tamarind sauce but nothing to write home about.We thought we would try the Bindi fries, expecting them to be crispy and have a nice balance of spices in the batter. They sadly were greasy, and had a chewy batter not crisp, and was bland as there were no cumin or spices in the batter.For mains we both opted for curries, I had the Kashmiri lamb, which had tender chunks of lamb and good spicing. J got the Adraki chicken, which again had a good quantity of tender meat. However both curries suffered from being too oily, which I was surprised by, as Indigo bills itself as being healthy Indian food. The standout dish was the peshwari naan, naan stuffed with sweet coconut, that was deliciously moreish. I could have had another portion for dessert!If you wish for icecream for dessert, they have a good selection of Movenpick icecreams.Sadly for us, Indigo didnt quite live up to expectations. For good Indian food in Shoreditch, I would check out Dhaba Lane or Dishoom instead. goantolondon.wordpress.com
The Rich Mix cafe isn’t the main attraction here but it does a good job. It offers cakes, sandwiches, snacks and cups of tea and coffee however, you don’t go to the Rich Mix for the culinary experience. For those of you who don’t know, the Rich Mix is a cultural center at the top of Brick Lane on Bethnal Green Road. It puts on loads of different events (music, theater, ping pong evenings, comedy nights, etc), has a cinema that shows a few mainstream movies, a lot of very interesting documentaries that aren’t necessarily in the limelight, and has a small exhibition room. It’s very cheap to go, most events are under 10 pounds and drinks at the bar are cheap. Correction, they’re seriously cheap.Anyway, if you’re into doing something a bit different at some point this weekend, pop into The Rich Mix and you’ll have knocked at the right door.
