Timur Restaurant is an Indian and Nepalese restaurant on Westow Street in Crystal Palace. The family minded venue presents the flavours of India and Nepal in a comfortable dining room, with reservations for guests who want to sit in as well as ordering for meals at home.
The menu begins with street food and snacks such as Nepalese momo, onion bhaji and other dishes designed to introduce contrasting spices and textures. Tandoori cooking and mixed grills bring smoky flavours to the table, while vegetarian starters make it easy to build a varied selection for sharing.
Curries cover creamy makhani chicken and familiar tikka masala alongside lamb rogan josh, karahi and the deeper spice of Chettinad preparations. Biryani offers a rice based centrepiece, and breads, rice dishes and vegetable sides can be combined to balance richer sauces.
Timur opens throughout the week for afternoon and evening service, supporting both an unhurried dinner and a convenient local meal. The combination of Nepalese specialities and Indian favourites gives mixed groups room to explore less familiar dishes while retaining plenty of recognisable choices.
Address: 17 Westow Street, Crystal Palace, London SE19 3RY, England
