Its Thecha
Rare Maharashtrian kitchen tucked in the lower level of a Canary Wharf hotel — pre-booked veg and non-veg thalis, kothimbir vadi and paneer thecha, and a licensed bar. It serves alcohol and seafood/meat, so it is not an all-halal kitchen.
Why it's listed: Maharashtrian Indian; no halal signal, uncertain
