Authentic Indian restaurants/takeaway?

Calcutta Brasserie is easily the best in the area. Bollywood Junction is a real hidden gem and really underrated. Maaya is really really nice but central location bumps its prices a little.

Haaaa. Amount of times they have been forced to close. They nearly killed me with a food allergy. Awesome food though lol

We've decided to go for Maaya today, hopefully it hits the spot!

Up the city centre so costs more and I often see one of the owners in the grange. I know he lives near but why not go to your own place?

[-]

TerrifiedRedneck@reddit

It definitely will. Hope you love it.

Papa Js is good. I know Indian is sometimes used as a blanket term for South Asian food as well. 'Mezbaan' is good Pakistani restaurant in MK.

No idea what constitutes authentic but we always go to Eastern Paradise in Stony and they are always super friendly and I always enjoy my food.

I recently went to Bollywood Junction and I didn't love it as much as others seem to.

Namji, Papa J, Himalaya Tandoori, Talk n Tikka or if you want really authentic I would try shayona or sattvic.

[-]

AJ3000AKA@reddit

upvoting for Sattvic's lunchtime thali, it's fantastic value

[-]

AJ3000AKA@reddit

I split my orders between Spice Lounge and Namji in Wolverton, both are excellent with a fantastic menu.

Living in Wolverton I'm a bit spoiled for choice when it comes to take away.

Bollywood Junction is great for authentic north Indian curries and nice indo chinese they do a good lunch thali which is great. Talk n Tikka and himalaya are good too

BoldlyBraveSir@reddit

Namji in Wolverton Mowgli's in Beachampton

[-]

Altruistic-Friend343@reddit

Both are Bangladeshi.

[-]

GoodEbening@reddit

Owner for Namji is Pakistani

[-]

Bradders33@reddit

Naseem is actually Kenyan. Her grandfather was born in Pakistan and her food is predominantly Punjabi. ☺️

[-]

BlackforestGateau_@reddit

Namji food is average at best all their chefs are bengali/pakistani who can't cook north Indian dishes imo

[-]

Altruistic-Friend343@reddit

Ah sorry. Got confused

[-]

Namji 🙏

Purple Mango in Walnut Tree is great Get excited to go every time I'm back in MK

Craft and Skewers in Stoney has some authentic dishes. Also Rai in Woburn.

[-]

Joseph_HTMP@reddit

Newport Pagnell you mean?

[-]

jasoncreation@reddit

Balls yes, thanks

[-]

Joseph_HTMP@reddit

I was wondering why I’d never heard of it.

[-]

silent-noize@reddit

+1 for Craft and Skewers. It is even better when dining in.

[-]

timelessagnostic@reddit

+1 for Rai Woburn

SkullCrusher301@reddit

Rose of India Bletchley. customer service is great and don’t think i’ve ever had a bad dish

[-]

Spencer-ForHire@reddit

I've been here 12 years and yet to find a great Indian. There are plenty of average ones but nothing as good as some of the ones I'd go to when I lived in the midlands.

When you say authentic do you mean proper Indian food or just a good curry?

[-]

Business-Case349@reddit (OP)

Well I mean proper indian. We came from north West London where traditional Indian food was abundant.

[-]

kxp352@reddit

Also moved here from NW London. Haven’t had anything that compares in MK so far. Bollywood Junction and Papa Js are decent.

[-]

Altruistic-Friend343@reddit

Apart from those two there’s Talk n Tikka Bletchley, Dipna Anand at Unity Place, Rai Woburn, Sankalp, Kerala Hub Fenny, Jasmine… there are loads of authentic and good quality places.

[-]

mntCleverest@reddit

Sitting in Bollywood junction as I type this. Surprised that there’s no recommendation for that. We really like the food here.

[-]

Altruistic-Friend343@reddit

It is the best and our favourite as well. It’s also a quiet little spot for a Saturday Lunch.

[-]

anisha1103@reddit

MK dosa in Bradwell common is very authentic and good. Wok unit in new Bradwell - they just moved from north London to MK

[-]

TacticalObserver@reddit

When you say "Indian" - you should also be a bit specific about which part of India ? xD
I still did not find good briyani in MK. (Please do let us know if you find any)

[-]

christopher_msa@reddit

Biryani in the box, Broughton used to be good a few years ago. But now gone to shit. Jasmine at Lloyds complex near city centre got decent biryani these days but not excellent

[-]

cankennykencan@reddit

Rose of India on Bletchley. Small curry house is very very good.

[-]

IndependentVast2@reddit

I think you should try Ceylon Cafe. It’s Sri Lankan food…but it probably the closest to Indian cuisine.

[-]

Classic_Peasant@reddit

The Grange is wonderful, I won't go anywhere else.

Especially their banquet nights.
