WHY Good-value Indian cooking in an area that appreciates it, with free delivery to boot.

WHAT Bright and busy, this affordable café has an extensive vegetarian menu, prepared in a separate kitchen, but carnivores are not neglected—the tandoor chicken is savory, and the tikka masala is satisfying. Be warned that the hot dishes are seriously hot, and the garlic naan is impossible to stop eating.

WHO Cheerful family groups and posses of scruffy twentysomethings.
