Food recommendations can be difficult – we think all our dishes are hard to beat – but these are three the dishes our customers – you the paying public – enjoy and order most.

Chicken Tikka Masala

Often called Britain’s favourite curry dish – and allegedly with origins from the early 1500s when a descendant of Genghis Khan decided he was fed up choking on chicken bones and had his chefs remove them before cooking. Our version features chicken cooked in the tandoor on skewers – and then enveloped in a lovely curry sauce.

North Indian Chilli Garlic Chicken

There is no denying that this is a hot and spicy dish – and maybe not one for the beginner – but if you like your food full of flavour – this is the curry for you. The clue to the ingredients is in the name – and the addition of lovely fresh coriander ensures this will warm you during this cold weather.

Balti Kashmiri Chicken Murgh Makhani

This is a lovely mild dish. The pieces of chicken are barbecued in the tandoor and then enveloped in a sauce of banana, lychee pineapple and almonds. A gentle dish – creamy and satisfying.

Guru Special Naan

If we can make one recommendation though – accompany any of these with our Guru Special Naan. One of our classic oversized naan breads smeared with lovely fresh buttery garlic and coriander.
