The Indians Next Door

These neighbours are the best, serving delicious, Punjab-inspired biriyanis

Drop in on The Indians Next Door for tasty biryanis and exceptional samosas.

Anj and Has’ dishes are made from family recipes that have travelled all the way in space and time from the Punjab in the 1920s to Southbank Centre via Kenya.

Choose chicken biriyani or go for the equally satisfying vegan version. Both dishes are free of wheat.

Feeling peckish? You can also add a samosa or onion bhaji on the side, along with some palate livening chutneys.
