The Michelin Guide specifically calls out this dish as a highlight. Spiced goat meat formed into patties and served in soft steamed buns with green chutney and pickled onions. At 14 pounds, it's one of the more affordable items and a good way to start the meal. The goat is well-spiced without being overly hot.
Tips from diners
This is the dish the Michelin inspectors specifically highlighted. Order it early — it's a good indicator of whether the kitchen is on form that night.
The signature dish at Brigadiers. Lamb chops marinated and cooked in the tandoor until charred on the outside but still pink within. Available as a half rack (32.50) or full rack (65.00). Multiple reviewers and food blogs call these out as the must-order item. The Feast menu also offers them as a supplement (18 per person extra), which tells you how highly the kitchen rates them.
Tips from diners
The half rack is enough for one person alongside other dishes. The full rack is for sharing or if lamb chops are all you want.
Specify how you want them cooked — some reviewers have found them overdone when they didn't ask. Pink is the way to go here.
Chicken wings cooked in the tandoor and then tossed in a butter chicken glaze that adds sweetness and smokiness. Multiple reviewers call these addictive and say the sauce is what sets them apart from standard wings. At 13.50 they're a good shared starter for the table.
Tips from diners
Order extra napkins. The butter chicken sauce is messy but you'll want to lick your fingers. These are best shared as a starter for the table.
A Calcutta-style kati roll made with wagyu beef seekh kebab, wrapped in a flaky egg paratha with pickled onions and green chutney. The wagyu gives it a richness that standard seekh kebabs don't have. At 14.50 it's a well-priced way to try wagyu in a casual format.
Tips from diners
Eat this with your hands, not a knife and fork. The paratha wrapping is meant to be torn and eaten together with the filling.
The prawns are cooked on a flat tawa griddle before being layered with saffron-scented basmati rice. The biryani has good spice depth without being overly hot. This is one of the main course choices on the Feast menu. Reviewers note the rice-to-prawn ratio is generous compared to many London biryanis.
Tips from diners
Ask for extra raita on the side — the biryani is well-spiced and the cooling yoghurt helps pace the meal if you're ordering multiple dishes.
Beef shortrib slow-cooked with achari (pickle) spices until it's falling off the bone. The pickle spices give it a tangy heat that cuts through the richness of the beef. This is one of the main course options on the Feast menu and is consistently mentioned in reviews as a highlight. Served with house daal, saag makai, and pilau rice on the Feast menu.
Tips from diners
If you're in a group, the Feast menu at 85 per person is the best way to try this alongside the lamb chops and other highlights without over-ordering.
From JKS Restaurants (the group behind Gymkhana, Hoppers, and Trishna), Brigadiers opened in 2018 inside Bloomberg Arcade near Bank station. The concept is inspired by the army mess bars of India where military regiments gather to eat, drink, and socialise. The restaurant seats 140 across several rooms with pool tables, card games, and live sport on screens. The kitchen uses tandoors, charcoal grills, rotisseries, wood ovens, and traditional Indian smokers. All chicken and lamb are halal; no pork is served.
The set lunch Monday to Friday 12-3pm is 25 for two courses or 30 for three — roughly a third of what you'd pay ordering the same dishes a la carte at dinner.
The outdoor terrace at Bloomberg Arcade is walk-in only and fills up fast on Friday after-work drinks. If you want a table inside, book ahead — especially Thursday and Friday evenings.
The Feast menu at 85 per person is the way to go for groups of four or more. You get a curated selection of the best dishes without the stress of choosing from the long a la carte.
All chicken and lamb served here is halal. No pork on the menu. The bar serves alcohol including cocktails on tap and a large whisky selection.
