Bindas

Melding Indian classics with modern global street food.

'Bindas' means daring, carefree - a free spirit.

At Bindas eateries in London, Mehak Kansal's bold food feeds the soul, layering flavours inspired by her Indian heritage, her travels, and her rural English upbringing. Her crowd-pleasing recipes are born out of childhood summers in India spent watching street-food vendors and then later her travels around the world picking up new flavour combinations and techniques.

If, like Mehak, you're someone who takes their food seriously and loves to feed people, you'll be blown away by Bindas. Bombay Cheese Toast, Paneer Tikka Burger, Mehak's bestselling Chicken Makhani, Masala Potato Skins and the amazing Chai-misu... This is vibrant, unexpected Indian food with a global outlook.

Mehak Kansal is a former property developer turned self-taught chef. She grew up in the Wiltshire countryside, learning to grow vegetables there as well as how to cook during her summers spent in her family home in India. A few years ago, after starting a blog to share her recipes, she launched a supper club. She was awarded the 2018 Westfield Food Entrepreneur Award which saw her receive mentorship from renowned Spanish chef Omar Allibhoy of Tapas Revolution, and a pop-up eatery in London's Westfield White City – it was a sell-out success. After a two-year pop-up at Mayfair, Mehak is now the proud owner of Bindas sites at Mercato Metropolitano in both Canary Wharf and Mayfair, with plans to expand.
