Chef Patron Yogesh and head chef Kaansili celebrate 15 years together as a team at The Painted Heron.

At The Painted Heron we are not about beautiful but fiddly food with tiny portions on a plate. We are about fantastic aromatic curries which bring the best of the principal ingredients and the magic of spices. We work with great seasonal and fresh local produce and combine them with carefully sourced and imported spices.

For the past 15 years at The Painted Heron we have consistently drawn upon a wealth of insight and experience to create a truly innovative and evolutionary style, one which marries the finest Indian and Modern European cooking techniques.

We rely on local seasonal produce and flare at mixing flavours and cooking styles, creating new exiting dishes without destroying their soul. Thank you for visiting. Come back soon!
