Bombay Rickshaw is an Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant at 172 Archway Road in Highgate. Its evening menu moves between familiar curry house favourites and more individual preparations, making it suitable for both a reliable local dinner and a broader exploration of the kitchen.
The tandoor shapes many of the starters, including chicken or lamb tikka, kebabs, fish tikka and marinated king prawns. Onion bhaji, samosas and chilli paneer add contrasting vegetarian choices, while mixed platters let a table sample several preparations together.
House specialities sit alongside seafood, biryani and traditional curry sections. Dishes range from chicken jalfrezi and lamb tikka bhuna to salmon, king prawns and slow cooked meat combinations, with rice and breads available to complete the meal.
Mango, sweet and salted lassi provide alternatives to soft drinks, while kulfi and other frozen desserts offer a simple finish. The restaurant welcomes reservations and also serves collection and delivery orders, giving Highgate diners flexibility in how they use the menu.
