Award-Winning Curry House Delights Locals

Tucked away in East Dulwich, this unassuming gem has carved a niche for itself as a haven for curry aficionados. From the moment you step inside, there’s a palpable warmth—an enticing aroma of roasted spices and warmnaan greet your senses. This venue is more than just an eatery; it’s a community hub, evidenced by its tasteful clutter—charity collection boxes being the only scruffy culprit—and the friendly banter from the hosts welcoming you. Holding multiple local accolades, this restaurant doesn’t need to boast; it lets its food testify for itself. Their Lamb Tikka Masala is a highly coveted dish that has many Diners switching loyalty, while the onion Bhajis are a delightful crisp contrast dancing on the taste buds.

While the wait time can turn your anticipation into frustration for delivery, dining in reveals a precisely executed experience, raising the credibility of their smooth-as-silk paneer marinated to perfection. The naan bread deserves a special mention, managing to walk the tightrope between a crisp exterior and impossibly soft interior. Despite occasionally over-salted dishes, the restaurant’s authenticity is never lost, hinting traditional roots in modern Anglicized curries. Dining here feels like partaking in a story—a story woven with flavors and generosity that affirms this establishment's standing as more than any ordinary curry house. To experience the depth and richness of Indian cuisine at its spirited best is to linger at their tables, glass of BYO wine in hand, amidst a chorus of neighbors delightedly sharing the feast. — Jasper Griddle
