A food hall has announced its "exciting" new pop-up kitchen from the team behind one of the city's favourite Indian restaurants. 

Yalm in the Royal Arcade is launching Urban Chowk on August 1 and promises an authentic, vegetarian and vegan Indian menu. 

From the award-winning Namaste Village team, Urban Chowk will serve kachori - fried pastries containing spiced green peas - paneer samosas and "chick’n momo" which are steamed dumplings stuffed with spiced vegan chicken.

Dan Searle, operations manager at Yalm, said: "We always planned to have pop-up kitchens guest at Yalm but it was crucial to make sure that whoever came in was a good fit and had no overlap with what our regular kitchens have to offer so Urban Chowk is perfect.

"We have worked with Dan to create a unique menu that will have broad appeal and caters for many people's choices - whether that's vegetarian, vegan or even meat. 

"Our unique menu includes some dishes that use state-of-the-art 'mock meats', which are 100pc plant-based and high in protein. 

"We are looking forward to working with all the other kitchens to make it an even more attractive place to eat."
