India Garden Wanstead is an Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant and takeaway at 12 Nightingale Lane. The extensive evening menu covers tandoori cooking, familiar curries, house recipes, seafood, biryani and complete thali meals. Delivery and collection support meals at home, while the neighbourhood setting also gives local diners a straightforward place to sit down over several shared dishes.
Appetisers include onion bhaji, samosa, chicken and lamb tikka, seekh kebab, paneer tikka, prawn puri and king prawn butterfly. Salmon kebab, lamb chops and a mixed seafood starter broaden the opening selection. Tandoori chicken, king prawns, salmon and mixed grills are marinated with yoghurt, herbs and spices before cooking in the clay oven.
Classic sauces range from mild korma and creamy pasanda to bhuna, rogan josh, jalfrezi, madras, vindaloo and the intensely hot phall. House specialities introduce fresh garlic, green chilli, lime, mango, pickles and Naga chilli in different combinations. Bengali fish, sea bass with garlic, mixed seafood bhuna and chicken tikka masala provide distinctive choices beside the traditional chicken and mutton curries.
Biryani combines fragrant rice with chicken, mutton, prawns or vegetables, while meat and vegetable thalis collect several smaller dishes into one meal. Paneer, Quorn, chickpeas, lentils, okra, aubergine, spinach and cauliflower create substantial meat free options. Pilau rice, vegetable rice, naan, roti, paratha and chapati make it easy to complete an order for one person or a larger group.
