Simply Indian

Almost 20 years down the line, this aptly named Indian is still wowing Borough’s curry fans with its offer of corkage-free BYOB and reasonably priced regional dishes from across the subcontinent. Beyond the unfussy black and yellow frontage is a light, airy dining room festooned with paintings of Indian railway scenes, while the menu travels far and wide taking in everything from South Indian dosas and Keralan prawns to Punjabi tandooris, Sri Lankan burjis (pulled lamb pao) and even the odd speciality from Tibet. In between, expect biryanis, a family-style goat curry, chicken makhana, skewered salmon with uttapam and veggie ‘tiffin tins’. Meat, fish and vegetable thalis are great if you want a bit of everything, while drinks include soothing lassis, ‘posh pop’ and a range of spicy, fragrant chais.
