MPs and spin doctors flock here for posh Indian food in the converted Old Westminster Library -- hence the wooden floors, high ceilings, double doors, and book-lined galleries. It's a block from Westminster Abbey and the House of Commons. The food is tasty and elaborate (Rajasthan red deer and pickling sauce or Goan spiced duck with curry-leaf-flavored semolina), but generally the simpler the dish, the better. Tube: St. James's Park.
