Agra Restaurant is a family run Indian restaurant at 137 Whitfield Street in Fitzrovia, where it has served the neighbourhood since 1954. Its compact dining room, traditional character and long local history make it an established choice for lunch or dinner near Warren Street, with takeaway and delivery also available.
Meals can begin with onion bhaji, vegetable or meat samosa, chicken tikka, lamb tikka, seekh kebab or king prawns cooked in the tandoor. The clay oven is also used for tandoori chicken, mixed grill and chicken shashlik, as well as naan, garlic naan, roti and other breads prepared to accompany the meal.
Chicken, lamb, prawn and king prawn can be ordered in sauces ranging from mild korma to curry, bhuna, rogan josh, saag, methi, dhansak, Madras, vindaloo and jalfrezi. Balti and karahi preparations add fresh garlic, ginger, chilli, tomato and coriander, while biryani combines fragrant rice with meat, seafood, egg or vegetables.
Vegetable dishes include tarka dal, saag aloo, chana masala, okra, aubergine, cauliflower and paneer with peas, providing plenty of ways to assemble a meat free meal. Rice, chutneys, raita and papadums complete the savoury selection, followed by kulfi and drinks such as mango lassi, Indian beer and wine.
