Tawa House

Head down Crawley Road towards the town centre and you'll find yourself in Tawa House, where they're doing straightforward, confident North Indian food without any pretence. The kitchen takes its time with the fundamentals—your dal is properly spiced, your paneer actually tastes of something, and they're not shy with the garlic. It's the kind of place where regulars know exactly what they want and get it the same way every time, which tells you everything you need to know. Busy on weekends, proper family-friendly, and the sort of spot locals actually return to rather than just talk about.
