Ishaas Indian Eatery

Head down Kelsick Road towards the centre and you'll find yourself in front of Ishaas, where they take their subcontinent seriously. This isn't the kind of place that's trying to be clever or Instagram-worthy; it's genuinely interested in getting the food right. You're getting proper tandoori, competent biryanis, and curries that don't apologise for their heat. It's the sort of spot locals keep coming back to because the fundamentals are solid, even if it doesn't have the polish of somewhere charging London prices. Worth booking ahead on weekends.
