Review of Kricket’s New Breakfast Thali: Shoreditch’s Boldest Morning Feast

Kricket Shoreditch has given breakfast a welcome shake-up with its new Breakfast Thali, a tasting-style morning feast that brings together the bold, bustling flavours the restaurant is known for. Priced at £15, it’s designed to showcase the very best of Kricket’s Kafé offering, in one generous, well-curated spread and it more than delivers.

On my visit, I opted for the bacon pao, a soft, pillowy roll that arrived packed with smoky bacon and tangy tomato chutney. It’s comforting without being heavy and sets the tone for a breakfast built on proper flavour. Alongside it came a vibrant serving of eggs Bhurji, gently spiced and perfectly scrambled, offering warmth and depth without overpowering the plate. The Andhra hash brown quickly became a standout; golden, crisp and packing a lively kick of chilli that lifts the whole dish. The tamarind brown sauce ties everything together with its sharp-sweet brightness, adding a welcome twist to the traditional condiment and giving the thali a satisfying sense of cohesion.

For a lighter finish, the vanilla Shrikhand was smooth, cool and delicately perfumed, acting as a refreshing palate cleanser. The fruit salad added a burst of juiciness and colour, keeping the experience balanced and making sure the thali never strays into heaviness.

To drink, a cup of freshly brewed masala chai offers gentle spice and sweetness, the kind that eases you into the day without rushing you along. I couldn’t resist ordering an extra drink: a pressed coconut juice topped with a cold foam matcha, which arrived silky and just sweet enough.

What sets the Breakfast Thali apart is its sense of rhythm, every component has its place, and nothing feels like an afterthought. It’s generous but not excessive, lively without being overwhelming. For a breakfast that feels thoughtful, satisfying and just a bit different to the usual London offering, Kricket Shoreditch’s new Breakfast Thali makes a very strong case for becoming a weekend ritual.

Address: 35-42 Charlotte Rd, London EC2A 3PB
