The Indian is the current name of the longstanding Indian restaurant at 66 Cowbridge Road East in Canton, formerly known as Eurasian Tandoori. The same premises continues to serve evening meals, with dining in supported by collection and delivery for customers across this part of Cardiff.
The menu balances familiar curries with house specialities and Indian street food. Diners can move from crisp snacks and starters into korma, bhuna, jalfrezi and other sauces at different levels of heat, while chefs’ recommendations provide a route beyond the best known classics.
Tandoori dishes bring the char and spice of the clay oven, and biryani combines fragrant rice with meat, seafood or vegetables. Side dishes, rice and freshly baked breads allow a table to share several flavours, while vegan specials and vegetable curries give plant based diners more than a token choice.
The relaxed neighbourhood format suits a straightforward dinner as well as a larger shared meal. A drinks selection accompanies the food for customers eating in, while the broad takeaway menu retains the restaurant’s established role as a dependable local curry house in Canton.
Address: 66 Cowbridge Road East, Canton, Cardiff CF11 9DU, Wales
