Where to find a cheap lunch in London Bridge

Lunch near London Bridge fills fast. Offices empty out, Borough Market stays busy, and many places charge £15 or more for a main alone.

Est. India takes a different approach. We built The Full Indian, a lunch thali inspired by the Full English. You get a complete Indian meal on one tray at a fixed price under £13.

What the Full Indian thali includes

Every thali has six dishes:

  • Your choice of main
  • Daal
  • Naan bread
  • Rice
  • Mini papad
  • Gulab jamun for dessert

Therefore you finish with a full meal and a sweet ending, without ordering extras.

Vegetarian or non-vegetarian

Pick your main when you order.

  • Vegetarian thali, £11.99 per person: Saag Chole or Kadai Paneer
  • Non-vegetarian thali, £12.99 per person: Murgh Makhni, Lamb Saag or Chicken Saag

Murgh Makhni and Kadai Paneer contain dairy. Please tell your server about any allergies or dietary requirements before ordering.

Why a lunch here works

First, the price stays fixed. You know your cost before you sit down.

Second, the service moves quickly. The thali arrives together, so you eat and return to your desk on time.

Third, the setting has more energy than a sandwich shop. We have a terrace for dry days, booths for two and long tables for groups. Colleagues, friends and solo diners all find a seat. If the afternoon allows, add a cold Cobra or one of our Indian-inspired cocktails.

In short, a cheap lunch in London Bridge diners remember comes down to value and flavour. The thali delivers both.
