Kashmiri Karahi

You'll spot the queue before you see the sign – that's how you know you've found the real deal on Bath Road. The dining room might not win any design awards, but the kitchen churns out some of the most authentic Kashmiri food in Slough, with karahis that arrive sizzling and aromatic enough to make your eyes water in the best possible way. The lamb karahi is what built their reputation, tender chunks swimming in a sauce that's been cooked down to concentrate every bit of flavour. Portions are properly generous – you'll struggle to finish even sharing between two. The naan comes charred and pillowy, perfect for mopping up every last bit of that intensely spiced gravy. It's the kind of place where regulars have their usual table and the staff remember exactly how you like your tea.
