About Karakana - Brixton
Karakana, from the Hindi word for workshop, is the co-creation of Tim Anderson and Rivaaj Maharaj, who wanted to bring flavours from around the world to the indian dishes you know and love. Get the classic tikka masala and freshly made naans, or try something a little different with our miso-methi tandoori salmon, aubergine karahi parmigiana or currywurst in a vindaloo sauce.
