Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.

Crispy pastry, friendly service—win-win.

Kanishka is an Indian restaurant that delivers a culinary experience worthy of a Michelin star without the stuffy pretentiousness. The Chicken Tikka Pie is a cheeky British twist on an Indian classic, with a crispy, fragrant puff pastry that’ll have your taste buds singing. Not to mention the Tandoori Monkfish, which is expertly seasoned and will leave you wondering why you ever settled for mediocre fish dishes.

The service is warm and attentive, with staff like Clive and Pankaj genuinely making you feel at home. It's got that perfect vibe for a special occasion or a casual night out, but be warned: the Instagram pics you take here might just make your friends envious. Kanishka is definitely one of those places that you won't mind bragging about at brunch.
