Karnaphuli is a longstanding Indo Bangla restaurant on Stoke Newington Church Street, established during the 1980s. Its extensive menu combines Bengali and broader Indian cooking, with table reservations, takeaway and local delivery all available from the same neighbourhood premises.

Snacks and starters range from aloo chat, cauliflower cutlets and onion bhaji to paneer tikka, chicken khurchan and momo. The tandoor section includes chicken, lamb tikka, duck, king prawns and shashlik, with a mixed grill bringing several roasted choices together with rice, naan and vegetable curry.

Curries cover gentle coconut and nut based sauces as well as jalfrezi, vindaloo, bhuna and other hotter styles. Bengali character comes through in dishes such as beef with shatkora citrus and traditional fish curry, while duck, quail, seafood and several biryanis extend the menu beyond chicken and lamb staples.

Vegetarian diners can choose paneer, lentil and mixed vegetable curries as well as complete thalis with rice, bread, raita and several small dishes. A broad selection of fresh vegetable sides, basmati rice, naan and paratha makes it straightforward to create a varied meal for the whole table.

Address: 20 Stoke Newington Church Street, London N16 0LU, England
