The Arena Club and Sports Bar is an Indian restaurant, bar and entertainment venue at 17 Central Circus in Hendon. Located immediately beside Hendon Central station, its spacious room combines dining tables with large screens, pool tables and a fully stocked bar. Major football and sporting events create a lively atmosphere, while quieter times suit an informal curry or drinks after work.
Small plates are designed to accompany beer and shared viewing. Vegetable or paneer samosas, onion bhajia, crispy potato bhajia and masala cashew nuts provide familiar snacks, while tandoori chicken wings, lamb samosas and chilli paneer add stronger spice and smoky flavour. Mixed grills bring together several meats from the clay oven and work particularly well for groups.
The curry selection includes chicken korma, chicken tikka masala and butter chicken alongside lamb, seafood and vegetarian recipes. Bombay aloo, chana masala and tarka dal offer substantial meat free choices, with garlic, cumin, chilli and tomato used to build layers of flavour. Biryani provides a fragrant rice based main course, and mushroom rice or plain rice can accompany saucier dishes.
Fresh naan, chutneys, cooling yoghurt and vegetable sides help diners shape a complete meal around their preferred level of heat. Draught beer, bottled drinks, wine, spirits and soft drinks support the sports bar side of the venue, while private hire is available for celebrations and functions. The Arena’s combination of Indian food, late licensed bar service and live sport gives it a clear identity in Hendon.
