Tandoori Knights

You'll find this unassuming curry house tucked along Church Street in Stoke, where the aroma of proper spices hits you before you've even pushed through the door. The kind of place where regulars have their usual orders and the family behind the counter actually remember your name after a few visits. The menu reads like a love letter to authentic subcontinental cooking – forget your typical high street curry house fare. Their tandoori dishes arrive with that proper charred smokiness, while the curries pack enough heat to make you reach for your pint. Portions are generous enough to fuel a proper night out, and at these prices, you'd be daft not to order that extra naan. Just remember they're closed Tuesdays, because even curry legends need a day off.
