Neighbourhood Favourite Plant-Based Restaurant, En Root, Opens Third South London Restaurant
Today, En Root, the neighbourhood favourite Indian inspired plant-based restaurant, opens its third South London restaurant at the iconic Ritzy Cinema in Brixton.
‘En Root at The Ritzy’ will follow in the footsteps of its popular Clapham and Peckham siblings, serving up healthy, hearty, home-cooked Indian meals, designed to energise, uplift and nourish the communities of South London and cinema goers.
Visitors to the The Ritzy, which is now the first UK cinema to house an 100% plant based kitchen, will be able to enjoy En Root classics such as the ‘Raja Wrap and ‘Don Dada Platter’ – the ultimate showstopper with a range of all their culinary creations served in a traditional ‘thali’ style, as well as new exclusive cinema-style small bites including the ‘Poppanachos,’ where India meets Mexico with a poppadom base snack topped with Dhal, Pickled Cabbage, Avocado, Raita and Spice Krispies. Other small bites include the Masala Mogo, a spicy, saucy Kenyan twist on Cassava chips and Pani Puri, a one bite flavour explosion of Beetroot, Onion, Chickpeas & Pomegranate served with Date Tamarind Masala Water. Diners will be able to spice up their meal with En Root’s signature Raja Bonnet hot sauce, made with Scotch Bonnet fire, Kesar Mango fruit and Gujarati flavour.
A selection of mouth-watering sweet treats will also be available, including a ‘Mango Lassi Cheesecake’ or a decadent gluten free ‘Beetroot Blueberry Cacao Brownie’ to round off the ultimate cinema experience.
Throughout November, the team will be offering their ‘Lunchtime Special’ at En Root at The Ritzy, which consists of delicious Coconut Curry, Golden Rice, Daily Dhal and Rainbow Salad – all for an almost impossible price of just £5; £6 with avocado.
Nish Modasia, Co-Founder of En Root commented: “We are so excited to bring our Plant Power to the iconic Ritzy in Brixton. Born and raised locally, we grew up going to the cinema, meeting friends outside and dancing to music upstairs. We have catered events in Windrush Square, the heart of our Brixton community and thus we feel a perfect fit to this space, place and time. It is a truly magical moment to nourish such a venue and we are grateful for the opportunity. The journey never stops… Forwards Ever!”
Wayne Hall, General Manager at The Ritzy Picturehouse said: “We are so excited and proud to welcome En root to the Ritzy family. This collaboration will blend the best of plant based food with the most loved cinema in London, to a community that deserves such a perfect partnership. Brixton get ready for an explosion of good food & drink, married with our usual blend of good films and events. This will be a great experience for all.”
Feeding the community, celebrating fresh vegetables, wholesome pulses and flavoursome aromatic Gujarati spices is at the heart of the En Root philosophy. All En Root food and drink is unprocessed and handmade with love to bring nutritional joy to one and all.
