About Soho Wala
The Spotlight on Soho Wala

Spiced-Up Street Food in the Heart of Soho

Located just steps from London's iconic West End concert halls and theatres, Soho Wala brings the bold flavors of Indian street food into a modern, upbeat setting. Tucked inside the Courthouse Hotel on Great Marlborough Street, this vibrant spot offers a casual-yet-chic atmosphere that’s perfect for a flavorful bite before the show.

With colorful decor, a buzzy vibe, and a menu full of shareable plates, Soho Wala blends traditional Indian flair with a contemporary Soho edge.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location, location, location. Just minutes from major West End venues, Soho Wala is ideal for grabbing a pre-show meal without the rush. The service is known for being efficient and friendly, making it a great choice for those on a tight schedule. The menu is designed around small plates and fast-casual dining, so you can enjoy flavorful dishes without a long wait.

Its lively atmosphere makes it an energizing spot to kick off your night, yet it’s not too loud if you want to chat before heading to the gig.

What People Say

Reviewers rave about the authentic flavors and creative presentation of dishes like their bhel puri and lamb keema sliders.

Areas for Improvement
