RAZZ will see Imran Mansuri “channel years of fine-dining experience into a restaurant that promises serious food without the stuffiness”.
Mansuri’s cooking CV also includes top-end Mayfair Indian restaurants Tamarind, Benares and Jamavar.
His menu at RAZZ - which takes its name from the Hindi word for secret - will range from chaat and modern small plates to tandoori grills and punchy curries.
Highlights include Cornish lamb chops with kadai mushrooms and quail egg; wild garlic chicken chop with charred broccoli; and Malabar fish curry with wild seabass.
Menu formats will include à la carte and happy-hour bites.
The drinks menu features Indian-accented cocktails, such as turmeric gin and tonic and jalapeno-guava margaritas, alongside a wine list that ‘ranges from accessible pours to special occasion bottles’.
High-end interiors and a state-of-the-art sound system completes RAAZ’s aim ‘to combine Mayfair-level polish with neighbourhood warmth’.
“At RAAZ, we invite guests to explore India’s rich culinary roots through a modern lens, refined, balanced, and bright. Our goal is to deliver the kind of elevated, nuanced food you’d expect in Mayfair or Soho, right here in Putney,” Mansuri says.
