Mokssh is a
stylish cocktail lounge and restaurant offering an innovative food
and drink concept, that develops authentic Indian flavours and
cooking techniques and breaks away from traditional and outdated
views of Indian dining. With contemporary tapas-style Indian dishes
and a bespoke Eastern-inspired cocktail menu, Mokssh delivers a
destination experience in a beautiful setting, all ideally located on
the Fulham Road in Chelsea.

The brainchild
of Racchitt Khanna (former Hotel Manager of the Mandarin Oriental),
and managed by his brother Rohet Khanna, Mokssh is a family-run
establishment recently reopened after an extensive refurbishment. The
75-cover venue boasts beautiful interiors that successfully mix
brightly coloured artefacts and sumptuous fabrics sourced from India
with modern sleek lines and smooth curves. Mokssh strives to show
that traditional Indian dining can be enjoyed in a modern setting.
Background music is Bhangra chill out and the venue's low seating
harks back to traditional communal eating customs whilst providing an
informal lounge atmosphere. |
 |
Acting as both
a restaurant and late-night cocktail bar, Mokssh accommodates all
manner of eating styles, boasting a light lunchtime menu of wraps and
salads, an evening selection of mains and a variety of lighter
tapas-style options. The food at Mokssh is far from typical
Westernised staples of Kormas, Tikka Masalas and Vindaloos,
preferring instead to focus on traditional and modern native Indian
cuisine by using fresh produce, aromatic herbs and spices and
healthier cooking methods.

 |
The majority
of the menu at Mokssh is influenced by the tandoori cuisine - the
tandoor grilling style not only sealing in more subtle flavours that
are often hidden by oily sauces, but also providing a
health-conscious aspect to the food, as well as making the dishes
more conducive to a drinking atmosphere. |
