Recognised as one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026 for the second year in a row and recently recognised as one of CODE's Happiest Places to work 2026, Kricket is a collection of modern Indian restaurants that combine British ingredients with the flavours and aromas of India. Having started life in a 20-seater shipping container at Pop Brixton, Kricket now operates permanent locations in Brixton, Canary Wharf, Soho and Shoreditch alongside our award-winning bar concept, SOMA.
