'Bindas' means daring, carefree – a free spirit

At Bindas eateries in London, Mehak Kansal's bold food feeds the soul, layering flavours inspired by her Indian heritage, her travels, and her rural English upbringing. Her crowd-pleasing recipes are born out of childhood summers in India spent watching street-food vendors and then later her travels around the world picking up new flavor combinations and techniques.

If, like Mehak, you're someone who takes their food seriously and loves to feed people, you'll be blown away by Bindas. Bombay Cheese Toast, Paneer Tikka Burger, Mehak's bestselling Chicken Makhani, Masala Potato Skins and the amazing Chai-misu. This is vibrant, unexpected Indian food with a global outlook.

Mehak Kansal is a former property developer turned self-taught chef. After starting a blog to share her recipes, she launched a supper club. She was awarded the 2018 Westfield Food Entrepreneur Award, which saw her scoop the prize of mentorship from renowned Spanish chef Omar Allibhoy of Tapas Revolution, and a pop-up eatery in Westfield White City/Shepherd's Bush in London, which was a sell-out success. After a successful two-year pop-up at Mayfair, Mehak is now the proud founder of the flagship Bindas Eatery at Westfield White City/Shepherd's Bush and sites at Mercato Metropolitano in both Canary Wharf and Mayfair. Since opening the doors to Bindas Eatery in 2021, Mehak has been featured on Channel 4's Steph's Packed Lunch, and in publications such as The Caterer, Hot Dinners, Huffington Post, Country & Town House and Secret London.
