Vijay India Restaurant is a long-running South Indian restaurant at 49 Willesden Lane in Kilburn, London. It serves lunch and dinner in separate daily sittings, with table booking available for diners who want to explore its broad regional menu.
Spices, curry leaves, coconut, tamarind and mustard seeds shape many of the dishes. Chicken Chettinad combines fennel, cumin and black pepper, while Cochin and Malabar preparations bring lime leaf, mustard or coconut flavours to poultry, seafood and meat.
Fish molly, Keralan fish curry and prawns with green mango give seafood a substantial place on the menu. Lamb dishes, biryani and egg curries add further choice, and a dedicated vegetable section means groups can assemble a varied meal across several styles and levels of heat.
Rice, breads and sundries complete the main dishes, with many plates working well for sharing at the table. Nuts, dairy and other allergens can appear across the kitchen, so guests with allergies or dietary restrictions should speak with the restaurant before ordering.
