Kerb’s Alchemy Festival does Halal Asian Street Food

A wide selection of Halal street food is now being served at the Southbank Centre in London as part of the largest festival inspired by South Asian culture outside of the subcontinent.

Having kicked off on Thursday in the Royal Festival Hall and continuing until 29th May, Alchemy returns for its eighth year to showcase the dynamic creativity and cultural connections between South Asia and the UK.

Street food pioneers KERB have brought together 27 traders who will be transforming the SE1 into a rambunctious raft of heat and spice with food ranging from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh to India, Sri Lanka and Nepal.
