The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This review is taken from the 2010 edition.
One can't help being overwhelmed when entering Tusk; the vast, high-ceilinged former filmhouse carries off a contemporary Asian-inspired design with a luxurious flourish. At centre stage sits a giant golden Buddha, and the faint smell of incense drifts through the air. The menu could be described as bar food dressed up in an Asian style and presented beautifully on heavy slate plates. The home-made pakora has a crisp, golden shell, encompasses fresh vegetables laced with a nice, subtle spice.
