About Brilliant Restaurant
The Brilliant Restaurant is located in old Southall and specialises in North Indian Punjabi cuisine with a Kenyan slant. Currently The Brilliant has 250 seats and boasts a Banqueting Suite together with operating an Outdoor Catering Service and cookery school run by Celebrity Chef Dipna Anand.
The Brilliant opened in 1975 by two brothers Gulu and Kewal, although its background dates back to the 1950’s when Gulu and Kewal’s father Bishen Dass Anand ran the Brilliant Hotel, Nightclub and Restaurant in Kenya (Nairobi).
The Brilliant in Southall started off as a 36 seat restaurant when opened and ever since has extended several times in both size and reputation as the business has grown organically. At the heart of the business is devotion to authentic, fresh and superbly prepared food. The Management and staff do everything they can to ensure that those who chose to dine at the restaurant have a ‘Brilliant’ time. That often means doing immensely more than simply cooking.
The Brilliant is a family run establishment which is now in its third generation. Gulu’s children, Dipna and Shanker are now the forefront of the business, eagerly brining in new concepts, ideas and innovations. After Brilliant’s success on Channel 4’s ‘Ramsay's Best Restaurant’ series and after being visited by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, the popularity of the Brilliant has risen to new heights resulting in even greater customer demand
The Brilliant has won The British Curry Award for ‘Best Indian Restaurant in London suburbs’ for 4 consecutive years and has also been awarded a special award from The Good Food Guide. Brilliant’s reputation circulates among British Monarchy, Bollywood and Hollywood, Politicians and Industrialists to name but a few. Brilliant success is due to creating tastes of the palette which have delighted generations from all over the world.
