About PARO
PARO brings Calcuttan-inspired Indian fusion to one of central London's most practical event locations — Wellington Street in Covent Garden, three minutes from two tube stations and steps from the West End's theatre district. Chef Patron Niaz built his reputation at City Spice on Brick Lane before establishing a restaurant that's earned Esquire recognition and a loyal following among City institutions, press events, and private clients who need their dining to deliver.
Calcuttan Cuisine with Corporate Confidence
The fusion menu is ambitious enough to impress food-focused guests while accessible enough for mixed corporate groups. PARO doesn't play it safe with generic central-London Indian — the Brick Lane credentials in the kitchen translate to cooking with real identity. Set menu packages across multiple tiers give event planners the predictability they need: agreed pricing, structured courses, drinks included, service timed to your schedule.
The restaurant's client list tells its own story. Experience with financial institutions, high-net-worth entertaining, and press events means the team understands what's at stake when a booking is client-facing or high-profile. That operational confidence is worth as much as the food for corporate planners.
Three Spaces, Genuine Flexibility
What makes PARO work as a venue — not just a restaurant — is the range. An intimate 30-cover semi-private room for client dinners. A 90-seat private floor for department events and celebrations. A full 130-seat buyout for awards nights and large-scale corporate entertaining. Few Indian restaurants in central London can credibly cover that spectrum from a single address.
A Theatre-District Asset
The Lyceum Theatre sits within a three-minute walk, making PARO a natural pairing for corporate hospitality that combines West End shows with private dining. But the location works beyond theatre — Covent Garden and Temple tubes are both close, the address is straightforward to reach from surrounding offices, and the late licence (past midnight, with extensions available) means evening events don't face an early cut-off. For planners who need Indian dining with the capacity range and professional polish to match serious corporate events, PARO is a rare combination in this part of London.
