Himalaya is a long established Indian restaurant on The Grove in Stratford, offering dinner in a spacious dining room as well as collection and delivery. The kitchen combines familiar curry house favourites with imaginative house dishes, tandoori cooking and a selection of fish specialities. Its wide menu works well for diners who know exactly which classic they want and for groups planning a varied shared meal.
Starters include onion bhaji, samosa, chicken or lamb tikka, seekh kebab and tandoori chicken. Prawn puri, king prawn butterfly and paneer tikka add seafood and vegetarian choices, while a mixed kebab brings several grilled flavours together. From the clay oven, diners can choose tikka, tandoori chicken, mixed grill, paneer shashlik, fish tikka shashlik or king prawns cooked with peppers and onions.
Chef recommendations range from tikka masala, pasanda and butter chicken to garlic chicken tikka, karahi and jalfrezi. The Himalaya Special sits beside regional dishes using garlic, chilli, naga and Bengali spice combinations. Traditional korma, Madras, vindaloo, rogan, bhuna and dopiaza preparations can be ordered with chicken, lamb, prawns, king prawns or vegetables, allowing diners to match their preferred ingredient with a familiar sauce style.
Biryani combines fragrant rice with meat, seafood or vegetables, while the Persian selection includes sweet and sour dhansak and pathia dishes. Sea bass and other fish preparations broaden the main course choice beyond meat curries. Quorn dishes, paneer, lentils, chickpeas, aubergine, okra and spinach provide substantial meat free options, supported by pilau rice, flavoured rice, naan and cooling accompaniments for a complete table.
