General Bilimoria's Canteen - Harpenden AL5

Most takeaways offer chicken tikka, lamb tikka and a mixed grill and call it done. Ours runs to ten: those three plus tandoori lamb chops, tandoori chicken, chicken and lamb shashlik, paneer tikka, salmon tikka and jhingha shimla mirch — grilled king prawn marinated in puréed smoked red peppers.

Chatpatta wings and honey wings sit alongside chilli paneer and spicy chilli chicken in an Indo-Bengal starters section — the Indo-Chinese wok cooking that Bengali-run kitchens brought into British curry houses, served here as its own thing rather than folded into a generic starters list.

Steamed dumplings, chicken or vegetable — momo is Nepalese and Tibetan street food, not something most curry-house menus carry at all. It's a small addition here, but a genuine one.
