Paratha Inn Croydon is a South Asian street food restaurant at 244 High Street. The independent business began in 2020 after its founder set out to recreate the parathas he remembered from home, and its focused menu suits breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack or an informal evening meal.
Paratha rolls wrap freshly prepared flatbread around fillings such as chicken tikka, paneer, falafel, egg or spiced prawns. Diners can instead choose a stuffed paratha, including potato, cheese, chicken and cheese, or lamb keema versions, while rice bowls offer a different base for several of the same flavours.
The breakfast combinations pair paratha with chickpeas, omelette or a seasoned chicken shami kebab. Samosa chaat, masala chips, chilli paneer and spiced chickpeas work as sides or smaller plates, and vegetable and falafel choices make the concise menu accessible to meat free diners.
Chai is an important part of the experience, with doodh pati, masala and Kashmiri pink chai joined by sweet, salty, mango and strawberry lassi. A sweet paratha and Basque cheesecake provide dessert, completing a casual meal built around freshly ground spices and familiar South Asian comfort food.
