Penge Masala is an Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant and takeaway at 75 High Street in Penge. Its dining room offers evening service throughout the week, giving local diners a place to sit down for a complete meal as well as the option of collection or delivery.
Starters and dishes from the tandoor introduce the menu’s use of spice, marinades and high heat. Chicken, lamb, fish, king prawns and paneer appear across grilled preparations, while biryanis combine aromatic rice with a choice of meat, seafood or vegetables.
The curry selection spans familiar masala, korma and traditional favourites alongside house specialities and chef’s signature dishes. Fresh vegetables and paneer have dedicated sections, so vegetarian diners can build a varied meal rather than relying on a single substitute dish.
Rice, freshly cooked breads, sauces and accompaniments make it easy to share several dishes at the table. Reservations are available, and the broad menu suits both diners looking for a dependable favourite and groups who want to compare tandoori dishes, curries and regional house recipes.
Address: 75 High Street, Penge, London SE20 7HW, England
