Khan's Restaurant

Head out to Heaton and you'll find Khan's doing exactly what it does best—no faffing about with fusion nonsense, just honest Indian food that tastes like someone who knows what they're doing is in the kitchen. The dining room's straightforward, the kind of neighbourhood spot where you can relax without feeling like you've paid for the décor rather than the meal. You'll notice regulars dotting the tables, which tells you everything you need to know about consistency. The prices sit at a fair two quid marks, so you're getting decent portions and proper flavour without the city centre markup.
