Manjal Indian Restaurant Loughton is located at the end of Langston Road in Loughton. Its spacious, elegant dining room takes visual cues from nearby Epping Forest, while a bar, generous parking and space for events make the venue comfortable for both an ordinary meal and a larger celebration.

The restaurant specialises in South Indian and Sri Lankan cuisine, supported by a kitchen team with decades of experience. Street food inspired starters, dosa and kothu roti sit alongside clay oven preparations, allowing diners to explore textures and techniques beyond the familiar curry house format.

Curries and regional specialities cover seafood, meat and vegetables, with spices handled in ways that range from gentle and aromatic to more assertive. Rice, breads and lentil dishes complete the selection, while vegetarian, vegan and halal choices make group dining easier to organise.

Lunch and dinner are served through the week, with attentive table service and a relaxed soundtrack contributing to the refined but approachable atmosphere. Private dining and event menus extend Manjal’s role beyond day to day restaurant service, and collection is available for diners who prefer to eat at home.

Address: Langston Road, Loughton IG10 3TQ, England
