What They Ate
Quotes
"That's wonderful. The thing is, we used to make them bigger, and then no one could fit them in their mouth. So we made them a bit smaller, a bit more manageable, but punchier in flavor, so a little bit spicier."
"My favorite so far, the dhokla. Dhokla. It's like a semi-sweet, savory cake. Sounds really odd. It's made with brown flour, so it has this kind of like really lovely earthiness as well. It's very wibbly-wobbly. I like it."
"Finally, the little donut. And we top that with aged caviar and tuna from last summer."
"Red mullet from down in Cornwall. And then served with a peanut and sesame salami, which is basically a curry sauce. So this is the closest we're gonna get to curry in here, really?"
"That's my fourth meal at BB, and each time, they just raise the bar. It's getting better and better and better."
"If you haven't yet, or even if you have a little while ago, get yourself in to this wonderful establishment."
Our Reflection

BiBi is not just a meal; it’s a celebration of Indian flavors reimagined for London’s adventurous palate.
