Talli Queen is the vision of Avi Shashidhara, former River Café chef and Pahli Hill founder, redefining a historic Shepherd’s Bush pub. The space draws inspiration from Kerala’s toddy shops and Bangalore’s dynamic pub culture, distinguishing itself with a menu rooted in Indian drinking traditions.

Specialties include toddy shop clams, Kerala chilli beef, kebabs, goat nihari, and papadi chaat—a dish from Shashidhara’s Great British Menu appearance. Sundays reimagine the classic roast with Indian twists, while eighteen draught lines reflect its pub heritage. By joining regional Indian flavors with London’s casual drinking scene, Talli Queen marks a new chapter for Uxbridge Road’s pub tradition.
