Crown of Bromley

Head down Tiger Lane towards Masons Hill and you'll find yourself in the kind of neighbourhood Indian where regulars outnumber tourists—which tells you everything. The Crown does straightforward, unpretentious North Indian food that respects the spices without getting precious about it. You're looking at the classics done properly: biryanis with actual texture, curries that have depth rather than just heat, and the sort of generous portions that make £ feel like proper value. It's the kind of place you end up visiting every couple of weeks without really planning to.
