Restaurant Assistant Manager

Hourly salary: Discussed At Venue

Recognised as one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026 for the second year in a row and recently recognised as one of CODE's Happiest Places to work 2026, Kricket is a collection of modern Indian restaurants that combine British ingredients with the flavours and aromas of India. Having started life in a 20-seater shipping container at Pop Brixton, Kricket now operates permanent locations in Brixton, Soho and Shoreditch alongside our award-winning bar concept, SOMA. The group is looking to grow further in London and internationally.

Nestled under the DLR on the North Dock, our home in Canary Wharf is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. The design is a refined take on our industrial roots, featuring an expansive open kitchen clad in red tile, where you can perch to enjoy your meal, watching as the chefs skilfully tend to the tandoor and prepare dishes to order.
