The answer to the above question is the Kennington Tandoori on Kennington Road. But what about the following:
- The manager of which Westminster restaurant once confiscated Lembit Opik's harmonica as his playing was disturbing other diners?
- In which London curry house are you most likely to spot Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond?
- And which Italian eatery has seen the careers of many Conservative politicians come to an abrupt halt after less-than-flattering awards were handed out at Tory whips' dinners?
The answers to all those question and many more can be found in the double page spread I have written on politicians' favourite London restaurants for the latest (January 2009) edition of GQ magazine - which also includes lots more pictures of cover girl, Jessica Biel. (Alas the article is not online so I cannot link to it, but I would obviously recommend the 250+ page magazine as being well worth the £3.90 cover price!)
The ten establishments I included in the feature were:
- Shepherd's
- The Cinnamon Club
- Kennington Tandoori
- Gran Paradiso
- The Gay Hussar
- Quirinale
- Boisdale of Belgravia
- Rex Whistler Restaurant at Tate Britain
- The Atrium
- Top Curry Centre
A number of others were in the running but didn't make the final cut. Maybe you'd like to point out a favourite of yours which I have not included; or perhaps you have a tale about politicians and restaurants which is worth giving wider currency below...
