Kricket opens new site in Shoreditch
The Kafé doubles as a lifestyle space for Shoreditch’s creative professionals and the venue also includes a private dining and meeting room for up to 18 guests, which will launch later this year
Modern Indian restaurant group Kricket, founded by Rik Campbell and Will Bowlby, has officially opened its latest location in Shoreditch at 36 Charlotte Road.
The new site introduces its first ever breakfast menu alongside a new all-day Kafé and bar concept to complement its à la carte offerings.
The Shoreditch space features an 80-cover restaurant serving Kricket’s signature modern Indian dishes, as well as a 50-seat Kafé and bar where guests can enjoy breakfast, street food-inspired snacks, and a curated drinks list.
The Kafé doubles as a lifestyle space for Shoreditch’s creative professionals and the venue also includes a private dining and meeting room for up to 18 guests, which will launch later this year.
Housed in a former Victorian dispensary, the interiors, designed by Cake Architecture, boast high ceilings, natural light, and an open log fire.
The walls, painted in Jaipur Pink, a colour inspired by India’s historic ‘Pink City’, are adorned with bespoke artworks curated by chef patron Will Bowlby, reflecting both the brand’s identity and Shoreditch’s creative arts scene.
Kricket’s breakfast menu, served from 8am, blends Indian flavours with British breakfast staples. Dishes include Fried Eggs served with tomato chutney, smoked yoghurt, and curry leaf brown butter; Kedgeree featuring Andhra-spiced rice and lentils topped with smoked haddock and a soft boiled egg; and The Full Kricket, a reimagined full English featuring smoked bacon chop, mushrooms, eggs, chole, and tamarind brown sauce.
As the day progresses, the Kafé transforms into an evening bar, open until midnight. Propped up at the bar, guests can order street food-inspired snacks with highlights including the Goan Sausage Roll with tomato chutney; crispy Squid Koliwada with green chilli mayonnaise; and the Lost Village cult favourite Bombay Toastie with Keens cheddar, green chutney, and piccalilli.
Drinks include selections from the natural-leaning wine list, draught beers, and signature cocktails.
Campbell and Bowlby said “We’re excited to bring our first-ever Kricket all-day Kafé and bar concept to Shoreditch, offering the perfect backdrop to launch our brand new breakfast menu, which has been in the works for over a year.
“Shoreditch has long been on our radar with its vibrant food scene, and this year it’s set to become an even bigger culinary destination with a wave of new openings. We’re looking forward to the journey ahead.”
