Salim's Restaurant & Take Away is a longstanding family run Pakistani and Indian restaurant on Turnpike Lane in Wood Green. The business traces its catering experience back to 1972 and offers seating as well as collection, delivery and catering. Its straightforward format centres on generous portions, familiar recipes and food that can be enjoyed quickly or shared around the table.
Grilled starters include lamb seekh kebabs and chicken tikka, which can also be wrapped in fresh naan with salad, chilli and mint sauce. Mixed rolls combine both meats for a more substantial choice. Samosas, onion bhajis, grilled chicken wings and fried fish broaden the starter selection, while sauces and salad add freshness alongside the richer grilled flavours.
Chicken and lamb curries cover styles such as bhuna, karahi and tikka masala, with biryani and pilau rice providing complete rice based meals. Vegetable curries include lentils, chickpeas, spinach, potatoes and mixed vegetables, making it easy to assemble a varied meat free order. Weekend specials can feature fish curry, mutton with paneer, haleem, nehari and fragrant yakhni pilau.
Plain naan, butter naan, garlic naan, Peshwari naan and wholemeal tandoori roti are cooked to accompany the curries and grills. Meal bundles combine meat, vegetables, rice, bread and kebabs for couples or families, while individual portions suit a quick lunch. The concise menu and casual dining room reflect the restaurant’s focus on accessible local food rather than unnecessary formality.
