Bombay Pavilion

You'll find Bombay Pavilion tucked inside the Copthorne Hotel on Cippenham Lane, which means it's got that polished hotel restaurant feel without being stuffy about it. The kitchen takes Indian food seriously here—this isn't the curry-house-down-the-high-street vibe. They're doing tandoori done right, proper biryanis, and curries that have layers rather than just heat. It's the sort of place where you'll see locals treating it like their proper night out, not just somewhere to grab a quick feed.
