Cafe Tiffin is a welcoming Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant on Compton Street in Clerkenwell, serving lunch and dinner alongside collection and delivery. The kitchen combines familiar curry house favourites with daily specials and family style dishes that are less often found on standard menus. Guests dining in may bring their own wine or beer without corkage, adding to the restaurant’s relaxed neighbourhood character.

Starters range from onion bhaji, samosa and stuffed mushroom to chicken 65, kurkuri okra fries and samosa chaat layered with chickpeas, tamarind, mint chutney and yoghurt. Tandoori wings, lamb chops, chicken tikka and lamb tikka introduce the clay oven, while prawn puri and crisp dynamite prawns add seafood. Mixed platters make it easy to sample several grilled or vegetarian items together.

Chef recommendations include handi gosht, where lamb is stewed with ginger and peppers, and B Deshi curry flavoured with shatkora, a distinctive Bangladeshi citrus fruit. Mumbai chicken is finished with minced lamb and boiled egg, while badami saag gosht pairs lamb with spinach and cashew nuts. Butter chicken, green chilli and coriander hariyali masala, pomfret with mustard, and a mixed grill bhuna provide contrasting levels of richness and heat.

Korma, bhuna, rogan, dhansak, jalfrezi and tikka masala cover the established curry styles, with chicken, lamb, seafood or vegetables available across the menu. Biryani, lentils, chickpeas, spinach, okra and potato dishes support a varied shared order. Pilau rice, naan, roti and chutneys complete the savoury meal, while mango or coconut lassi and Indian lemonade provide cooling drinks alongside the spices.
