Welcome to @opheemrestaurant , where Chef @aktarislam_ pushes the boundaries of Indian cuisine like no one else in the UK.

Two Michelin stars. A tasting menu that travels across India. And a mission to show the depth and diversity of one of the world’s richest culinary traditions.

At Opheem, you are led through a culinary odessey from Kolkata to Kashmir, Lucknow to Gujarat, like a Bharta with rasam sorbet, scallop with almond korma, Aloo Tuk reinvented.

The journey is thrilling, disorienting, at times overwhelming, but always fascinating. This is where culture meets ambition, and where Indian flavors are elevated through precision and imagination.

For me, some dishes soared, others fell flat. But the ambition is undeniable and an experience for the books.
