Taj Mahal Streatham Hill is a long established Indian restaurant at 11A Leigham Court Road. Serving the local area since 1961, it offers a broad traditional menu for eating in, collection and delivery. Diners can choose familiar favourites or explore hotter and more aromatic dishes, with chicken, lamb, mutton, seafood, paneer and vegetables represented throughout.
Starters include onion bhaji, vegetable or meat samosa, chicken pakora, prawn purée and king prawn butterfly. Tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, mutton tikka, seekh kebab and king prawns are marinated with spices before cooking over charcoal in the clay oven. A mixed tandoori selection makes it simple to sample several of these flavours together.
Classic curries range from mild korma and creamy tikka masala to bhuna, rogan, balti, korai, jalfrezi, madras and vindaloo. Dansak balances lentils with sweet, sour and hot notes, while naga and shatkora introduce distinctive chilli and citrus flavours. House dishes include methi gosht, Hyderabadi meat simmered with yoghurt and tamarind, garlic chilli chicken and king prawns in coconut sauce.
Biryani combines seasoned meat and rice with a separate vegetable sauce. Daal tarka, saag aloo, chana masala, aubergine, cauliflower, okra and paneer dishes allow diners to build a varied vegetarian spread. Pilau, saffron and flavoured rice sit alongside naan, paratha, chapati and tandoori roti, with chutneys, raita and poppadoms completing a traditional shared meal.
