Food: Indian

Bottle Price: zilch, शून्य

There’s Indian food… and then there’s the kind that quietly ruins every other butter chicken you’ve ever had. Southall sits firmly in the second category.

Tucked away in Hampton, this place doesn’t scream for attention — but once you’re in, it absolutely delivers. Think rich, slow-cooked Punjabi flavours, smoky tandoor hits, and legit curries that taste like someone’s nan has been standing over them all afternoon (in the best possible way).

The butter chicken is the headliner here — creamy, slightly smoky, and dangerously easy to demolish. The lamb dishes go just as hard, and if you’re skipping the veg options, you’re doing it wrong. The dal alone is worth showing up for.

It’s more polished than your average neighbourhood curry spot, but not in a “white tablecloth and whispering” way — more like a “we take the food seriously, but you can still rock up with mates” kind of vibe
