Cyrus and Pervin Todiwala now open for business Exactly one year ago this month, Cyrus and Pervin Todiwala began the painful process of emptying the old Victorian magistrate’s court in East London that had served as the home of Café Spice Namaste, their acclaimed Indian restaurant, for a quarter of a century.

I am impressed with the skill and imagination of Chef Aurelie Altemaire at Bōkan. It’s in London’s vibrant Docklands – or more accurately high above that sought-after neighbourhood.
