Dalchini

Walk past the frontage on Hemel's High Street and you'll spot the warm glow and packed tables that tell you something's working here. This is proper North Indian food, cooked with care rather than shortcuts—the kind of place where regulars have their orders memorised and newcomers quickly understand why mates keep banging on about it. You're looking at contemporary Indian dining without the faffiness; straightforward, flavourful, and priced fairly enough that you'll actually come back.
