Milton Bridge, Indian - Restaurant Guide

“First-rate Indian tapas coupled with brisk-but-not-brusque service” is the pleasing offer at this “efficiently run” offshoot of the well-known Glasgow group. There’s “often a slight twist to the dishes to elevate your eating experience further”, and it’s “such good value, especially the lunchtime set menu”.

“Yummy and fun, with good service” – key selling points of this phenomenal Indian chain, which chose this branch on St Andrew’s Square as its first launchpad outside London when it opened in 2016. Its mix of vibey ‘Irani’-café inspired interior and menu of ‘Bombay comfort food’ is consistently well-rated all-round, but here north of the border the mix doesn’t inspire the crazy love that it does in the English capital.

Nisha Katona’s Liverpool-based operation has two branches in London (Charlotte Street and Westfield Stratford) offering her “very tasty” Indian street food – “with the occasional hint of raw spice”. The Lancashire-born former barrister launched the business in 2014 and now has 28 outlets around the country, whose “enjoyable, authentic food” is “really great for a chain”.
