Sparsh is a restaurant at 47 London Road in Forest Hill, serving a wide menu shaped by Indian, Nepalese and Thai cooking. Aromatic spices, tandoor cookery and Himalayan influences sit alongside the coconut curries and wok dishes of Thailand. The combination gives local diners plenty of choice for a relaxed meal in the restaurant, collection or delivery.
Indian starters include onion pakoda, vegetable samosa, chicken tikka and chilli paneer, with chutneys providing sweet, tangy and cooling contrasts. Calcutta chilli chicken and chilli mogo add bolder Indo Chinese and East African influences. Thai starters such as salt and pepper squid, vegetable spring rolls, chicken satay, butterfly prawns and fish and prawn cakes broaden a table of shared plates.
The Indian main courses move from familiar chicken tikka masala and Kashmiri rogan josh to Hyderabadi biryani, dal tarka and paneer dishes. Chana masala, saag aloo, brinjal bhaji and mushroom curry offer substantial vegetable choices, while naan, saffron pilau rice and steamed basmati rice complete the meal. Nepalese herbs and timur pepper appear in selected dishes, adding a distinctive aromatic edge.
Thai green, red, Panang and Massaman curries combine coconut milk with herbs, vegetables and a choice of protein. Pad Thai, pad see ew, kee mao and mee goreng cover rice and egg noodles, while fried rice dishes provide another filling option. This range of curries, grilled food, vegetables, rice and noodles allows mixed groups to explore several regional traditions in one Forest Hill restaurant.
