Quilon
Restaurant in Victoria is one of five London restaurants to be
awarded their first Michelin stars in the latest guide. It is only
the fifth Indian restaurant in the capital to win such an honour and
in fact the only South Indian restaurant in the UK to achieve such an honour.
The award - the industry's
highest accolade - recognises Executive Chef Sriram Aylur's passion
for contemporary southern Indian coastal cuisine, his dedication to
the freshest ingredients and his commitment to blending traditional
home cooking with modern dishes.
Commented Sriram: "I am
absolutely delighted to receive such a prestigious award. Winning the
star is an achievement of which the whole team at Quilon is extremely
proud. We will be inspired by this recognition and seek to continue
improving the cuisine that were serve at Quilon".
Quilon specialises in cuisine
from the Indian states of Kerala, Goa and Karnataka with seafood a
particular speciality. Among a new generation of Indian restaurants
specialising in lighter sauces and more progressive offerings, it is
the sister restaurant of the famous Bombay Brasserie. Quilon has
always been very much the baby of Adi Modi, director of Bombay
Brasserie and Taj who departed the restaurant recently to spend more
time with his family recently after 25 years service.
