The story
Sindhu by Atul Kochhar brings contemporary Indian cooking to the quiet banks of the Thames in Marlow. Since opening in 2014, the kitchen has focused on redefining regional Indian cuisine through carefully researched recipes. Atul Kochhar arrived from Jamshedpur carrying a clear mission to shift perceptions around Indian food in Britain. His Michelin starred background informs a menu that balances heritage techniques with seasonal local produce.
The menu avoids heavy reliance on familiar curry house staples, instead drawing attention to lesser known provincial styles. Chefs build layers of flavor using fresh herbs, toasted grains, and carefully calibrated heat levels. Seasonal shifts dictate the rotation, ensuring that root vegetables or summer greens meet the spice profiles naturally.
Dining happens within a tranquil riverside room framed by the hotel’s historic architecture. Plush seating arrangements sit alongside walls decorated with vibrant canvases that catch the soft lighting. Golden saffron tones appear throughout the upholstery and decorative details, creating a warm counterpoint to the quieter architectural lines.
