Jamdani

This lively eatery has been buzzing with the happy chatter of contented diners every day since it first opened 20 years ago, and has become a firm favourite amongst the local community. Indeed, even those from further afield flock to enjoy the restaurant's infectiously cheery, convivial feel.

Yet it's not only Jamdani's ambience that attracts diners in droves - the superb Indian cuisine on offer is the real star of the show. With a plethora of aromatic tandoori specialities, vegetarian options, flavoursome bhuna, pathia, vindaloo and dhansak dishes, plus a mouth-watering range of delicious sides, breads and sundries on the menu, Jamdani's diners really are spoilt for choice.

To start, perhaps try the samosa filled with medium-spiced tender minced lamb, the delicious mixed kebabs or the succulent, juicy garlic king prawns. The impressive list of mains includes favourites like chicken korma, rogan josh and Madras curries, plus interesting additions like exotic Malayan dishes, which are flavoured with a combination of mild spices and cream, pineapple and banana.

With such an abundance of Indian delights on offer, Jamdani is always busy, so booking in advance is recommended. There's also a takeaway menu, so even if you aren't lucky enough to get a table, you can enjoy Jamdani's wonderful cuisine at home.
