The concept of Kipling's was created 17 years ago by Pervis and Rafiq known to regulars as ‘Raf'. The restaurant name was taken from the famous author and poet, Rudyard Kipling, an English gentleman living in India. With the design of the restaurant created by Pervis's wife, Debbie and the food created by Tarik, Kipling's chef, the result was something quite unique with an unusual ambience.
Kipling's success is reflected in the awards the company has won over the last decade.
