Kricket confirms new opening

Shaftesbury Capital has announced that modern Indian restaurant Kricket has signed for a new site in Covent Garden. The restaurant is set to open in the heart of Seven Dials, in the iconic Neal’s Yard, adding to the destination’s premium dining offering. 

Launching later this year, Kricket will bring its all-day café, bar and restaurant concept to Neal’s Yard. Offering a vibrant blend of modern, Indian-inspired flavours, the new space will have room for over 130 diners across 4,000 sq ft.

The brand will join Neal's Yard's dining hub, which includes the likes of Story Cellar, The Barbary and La Compagnie, as well as specialist concepts, Neal’s Yard Dairy and St. John Bakery. 

Emma Matus, head of restaurant leasing at Shaftesbury Capital, comments: “Covent Garden is already home to the city’s best dining concepts, and the addition of Kricket, with their take on Indian cuisine that blends Indian flavours with London’s culinary creativity, will complement this line-up. The signing is among the first of many new dining options set to be introduced to the destination this year, as we get ready to bolster Covent Garden’s high-calibre offer with new, unique and diverse concepts.”

The announcement follows the news that French-Japanese fusion brand, Café Kitsuné, is to open in Covent Garden’s Seven Dials neighbourhood at 55 Monmouth Street this spring, standing as the operator’s second-ever UK location.
