The Avenue by Masala 910

You're walking down Aldborough Road South and you spot The Avenue by Masala 910—it's the kind of place that doesn't shout about itself, which is exactly why locals keep coming back. The dining room is straightforward and unpretentious, the sort of spot where families pile in on Friday nights and you're just as welcome ordering a single biryani as you are bringing eight mates for a feast. The kitchen turns out competent North Indian cooking: paneer dishes that don't taste mass-produced, biryanis with actual flavour in the rice, and breads that arrive warm enough to matter. It's not reinventing anything, but it's reliably good—the kind of restaurant that makes sense when you're in the area and hungry.
