Kabana

You'll find this unassuming spot tucked into the Northern Quarter's quieter streets, where the focus is firmly on food rather than fancy interiors. The menu reads like a greatest hits of Indian comfort food – fragrant biryanis that arrive steaming, curries with proper depth, and grilled items that show real technique behind the modest setup. What sets Kabana apart is how seriously they take vegetarian cooking. This isn't tokenism – the veggie dishes get the same love and attention as everything else. The prices are refreshingly honest too, making it the kind of place you can swing by regularly without feeling guilty. It's proper neighbourhood cooking that happens to be excellent.
