Seriously spicy

10 April 2012

Charles Campion steels himself as he picks out the hottest places in the capital to eat spicy food, from Sichuan cuisine to top quality Indian...

Bar Shu
28 Frith Street, W1

This sharp new restaurant opened in April and showcases the food of Sichuan with some awesomely delicious and devastatingly hot dishes. Chewing a Sichuan pepper makes your lips go numb. £25pp ex-drinks. (020 7287 6688)

India Club
Second Floor, Strand Continental Hotel, 143 Strand, WC2

Climb the stairs to this charming Rip Van Winkle restaurant where you'll find lethal chilli Bhajias - there's nothing chilly about them so heed the warnings of the friendly staff. Jolly good fun. £12pp ex-drinks. (020 7836 0650)

Raavi Kebab Halal Tandoori
125 Drummond Street, NW1

There's plenty of unrestrained chilli heat at this small and unprepossessing Indian restaurant on Drummond Street. It would take a brave diner to ask for their food "hot" here! £10pp no alcohol. (020 7388 1780)
