Dalchini & Holy Brew, Wimbledon
147 Arthur Rd, London SW19 8AB
Two distinctive experiences. One memorable destination.
For more than two decades, Dalchini has been introducing Londoners to the vibrant flavours of authentic Indo-Chinese cuisine. As the first restaurant in the UK dedicated to this unique culinary tradition, it continues to blend the bold spices of India with the techniques and ingredients of Chinese cooking, creating a menu that feels both familiar and refreshingly different.
Expect everything from perfectly balanced Hakka noodles and fragrant Hunan chicken to flavour-packed chilli paneer, aromatic soups and house specialities that have earned a loyal following across London. Every dish celebrates fresh ingredients, traditional cooking methods and the rich culinary heritage that inspired the restaurant from the very beginning. Alongside the food, a thoughtfully selected wine list has been chosen to complement the distinctive flavours on offer, while the warm, attentive service ensures every visit feels genuinely welcoming.
But the experience doesn’t end with dinner.
As the evening unfolds, another side of Dalchini reveals itself. Hidden within the restaurant is Holy Brew, an atmospheric cocktail bar inspired by the mythology, traditions and flavours of ancient India. Designed as an immersive speakeasy-style escape, it’s a space where handcrafted cocktails become part of the storytelling, with every drink drawing inspiration from legendary gods, goddesses and centuries-old ingredients.
Signature creations combine premium spirits with Indian spices, botanicals and unexpected flavour pairings, while live music every Thursday adds another layer to the experience. Whether you’re discovering inventive cocktails like Lakshmi Rose or Brahma’s Blood Moon, enjoying small plates with friends or simply settling in for a late-night drink, Holy Brew brings a completely different energy without ever needing to leave the building.
Together, Dalchini and Holy Brew create something increasingly rare: a destination where an exceptional meal naturally flows into an equally memorable evening. Whether you’re visiting for authentic Indo-Chinese cuisine, inventive cocktails or a complete night out, this Wimbledon favourite delivers both with style.
