Before the open-fire spectacle, before the smoking tandoors became restaurant theatre, before every\u00a0restaurant\u00a0in London thought to put its kitchen on show, there was\u00a0Amaya<\/mark><\/a><\/strong>. It was 2005 when this singular restaurant arrived in\u00a0Belgravia\u2019s\u00a0Halkin Arcade and rewrote the rules of\u00a0just\u00a0how\u00a0scintillating\u00a0Indian food could look, taste and feel in Britain. Twenty-one\u00a0years on, it\u00a0has held its\u00a0Michelin star since 2006 and a reputation that has seeded an entire generation of modern Indian cooking worldwide. Amaya belongs alongside its celebrated siblings, Chutney Mary and Veeraswamy. But Amaya is the trailblazer that brought an entirely new dimension to the way Indian food was perceived. Amaya\u00a0entered London\u2019s restaurant scene\u00a0with three ancient Indian cooking methods working in gorgeous unison: the tandoor, the tawa and the sigree. It placed\u00a0its chefs\u00a0centre stage in a fully open kitchen, invited diners to watch, and made the act of cooking as seductive as the food itself. That pioneering model is now near-fundamental to high-end restaurant design across the capital.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
