5. Indian Essence
Awarded the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand in 2015 and 2016, Indian Essence on Petts Wood Road has the recipe for success. The clue’s in the name, with delicious nosh complimented with the essence of India but with a touch of something different. Take their Railway Lamb Curry for example – a dish described as ‘Anglo-Indian’ lamb rump curry, served with lamb samosa and masala roast potatoes… sounds delicious to us!
