In August 2014 we opened the doors to our shop and bar in the Victorian arches beneath the Holborn Viaduct. There is history here, the site having served as a wine cellar for over 150 years, most recently as Oddbin’s fine wine store.During the day the vaults serve as our office, warehouse and tasting room, as well as shop where the general public can buy our wines. At night it becomes a beautiful, atmospheric, candle-lit wine bar.In the bar we charge £14 corkage on the retail price, except between 12 and 4pm where no corkage is charged. Our list is ever changing, not only showing wines that we import ourselves but also wines that we have tasted and are passionate for, supplied from fellow importers. We also offer a small amount of old Bordeaux, Burgundy, Port and Madeira from our private cellars.

    To start, the servers were really attentive, kind and responsive with body language. Upon arrival I was seated straight away and given good service. Ambience is lacking slightly for the prices you pay however the food is absolutely outstanding. Best Japanese I’ve had in a while.

    From start to finish we had a fabulous experience. The food and service was amazing. We ordered a variety of dishes, which were really decent portion sizes. I love biryani, and both the lamb and prawn biryanis were delicious, the right hint of spice and cooked to perfection. The lamb biryani had decent pieces of lamb not the small bite sized pieces you typically can get. The lamb ghosht was the star - tender piers of lamb cooked in a rich sauce. Overall the variety of dishes is good, the menu is simple but caters broadly and each dish made with genuine care. From start to finish Tanmoy made us feel welcome and provided exceptional service.
