A Taste of India

Luxor


A small British-run Indian restaurant in neutral colours with plain wooden tables and chairs. On the menu are European versions of Indian dishes such as korma, spinach masala and jalfrezi (marinated meat curry with tomato, pepper and onion), as well as original Indian specials such as madras and vindaloo curries.

For those not too fond of spice, there are international dishes such as steak and pasta. The place is popular with expat Brits, as well as vegetarians who come for spicy vegetable dishes. The building, under the sign of Asia House, also has a Thai and Chinese restaurant.
