About British India

British India serves rich, cross-cultural curries in a dim, moody dining room on Anzac Highway. Diners swear by the broken samosa paired with crisp bhel puri—a starter that sets an inventive tone before tender Persian lamb curry arrives alongside warm garlic cheese naan. Heat levels accommodate both fiery cravings and mild palates without cutting corners on depth. For something creamy, the velvet-smooth British butter chicken delivers a sweet, mellow warmth. Sip a cold mango lassi between bites of charred chicken tikka.

  • Inventive Anglo-Indian Menu: Tender spiced lamb curry, British butter chicken, and broken samosa tossed with puffed bhel puri.
  • Moody Ambience: Dim table lighting, curated background tunes, and attentive hospitality set up an intimate dinner space.

  • Rich, Reliable Curries for Every Palate

    Generous portions of deeply spiced curries, from fiery vindaloo to velvety mild korma, reliably satisfy diverse spice tolerances and cravings.

    They must use the best freshest ingredients because my vindaloo was outstanding.

  • Inventive Cross-Cultural Signatures

    Cross-cultural creations such as Persian Lamb and British butter chicken deliver distinctive regional and colonial-fusion interpretations.

    Persian Lamb stole the show. It was tender and fell apart with a gentle touch, infused with a combination of mild spices and a hint of sweetness.

Before you head over

Helpful advice on timing, ordering, and parking for your visit

  • Opt for takeaway when in a rush

    Takeout can be a reliable alternative to dining in when you are short on time, as table service on the floor can face delays during busy dinner hours.

  • Navigate spice preferences easily

    The menu accommodates spice-averse diners with mild, sweeter options such as the British butter chicken, while offering vindaloo for heat seekers.

  • Check side street parking

    Street parking is conveniently available on the side street right off Anzac Highway if you are driving in.
