Patri, a unique Indian restaurant owned by Delhi by Nature, are back following their last successful raise with Crowd2fund. Their menu brings to life the authentic cuisine and street food found at the iconic railway stations and epic train journeys across India. Earlier this year, Patri raised funds to refurbish the accompanying café section of one of their two restaurants. The Cafe is now fully launched and has been granted premises license to include on and off sales. Your investment will help open the cafe for dinner operations, where parents can enjoy an early dinner whilst their kids play safely in the new play area.

Artisan railway inspired cooking

Patri means 'pavement' in Hindi, '[train] track' in Urdu, and 'small furnace' in ancient Sanskrit— we combine all three at our one-of-a-kind-restaurant to serve a street food-style menu with classic Indian and Pakistani influences. Established last year, our founder, Puneet, created a nostalgic and truly unique concept to celebrate the delicious dishes and snacks found at railway stations and served on iconic train journeys across India. Puneet has grown our brand across two sites, one in Hammersmith and one in Northfields. Further to this, Delhi by Nature also owns the Hammersmith branch of Chai Naastro, a family-inspired Indian street food restaurant, opened in 2016.

At Patri, we have an excellent 4.7 rating on OpenTable and are well-regarded by our diners. In fact, since our last raise with Crowd2Fund, we won numerous awards, including London Curry Awards’ Street Food Restaurant of the Year and Curry Entrepreneur of the Year. Our kitchen is headed by award-winning chef, Vijendra Singh Rana, passionately serving our signature dishes, including a rich Rara Gosht, tangy Mattar Kulcha, and of course our legendary 'Girlfriend Chaat', rated by some as the world’s spiciest chaat! All curries are inspired by those served by railway cooks and our grills are cooked in our tandoor at over 400 degrees. We put attention and care not only into the ingredients we use but also the presentation of the food we serve. Come and sample our dishes for yourself, with the rewards we have put together for you if you invest.

We have recently expanded our Northfields branch, which is the UK's first Indian-inspired artisan chai coffee and chaat house. This laid back version of our restaurant has artisan cakes, tea, coffee, Indian street food and focuses on healthy family dining with vegan options, which has been well received by the local residents. There is also a new play area for children, so parents can enjoy an early dinner whilst their kids have fun. The cafe is now fully launched and has been granted premises license to include on and off sales. Your investment will help open the cafe for dinner operations, enabling us to add some final fittings and cover the runnings costs of our first month, such as staff wages. We hope you can come and join us for some chai and chaat!
