The Black Sheep Restaurants family is expanding again, with the addition of Uncle Desi Food & Sons. The concept for this one is digital. Marketed as “the city’s first digital restaurant”, there isn’t a physical restaurant to speak of; it’s all about the delivery experience, from Kennedy Town to Tai Hang and The Peak.

The menu is inspired by dishes in your favourite Indian takeaway, so expect to see hearty items. Highlights include aloo samosa and chicken tikka masala. It’s a tribute to all the desi uncles and aunties who migrated to foreign countries and set up their own restaurants and shared a little bit of India with their new communities.

Opened: late November
