Cooked to order, the way it's always been

Everything at Gopal's is cooked to order, the way it has been since 1988 — fresh ingredients, the right combination of spices, nothing artificial. Begin with crisp onion bhajia, chilli paneer or samosa chaat, then move on to a rich dum biryani or a slow-cooked curry, from our own Gopal's chicken curry to a Goan vindaloo. Our tandoori dishes come straight from the clay oven — tandoori murg, king prawns grilled to our own recipe, the Maharaja's mixed grill — alongside fresh naan, keema naan and flaky Malabar parotta. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes run right through the menu.
