Delhi 41

Head out to Whittington Moor and you'll find Delhi 41 doing what it does best: turning out the kind of Indian food that locals actually want to eat. This isn't the place for pretension; it's straightforward, well-executed curry house cooking where the spice levels are taken seriously and the portions won't leave you short-changed.

It's the type of spot where regulars know what they're ordering and newcomers quickly work out why the place keeps pulling in decent reviews.
