Tikka Tikka (Swindon)

Head down Victoria Road towards the town centre and you'll find yourself in one of Swindon's better curry spots. Tikka Tikka's the kind of place where they're not mucking about with the spice levels or pretending frozen prawns are fresh—you get honest, well-executed Indian food that regulars keep coming back for. The room's straightforward, nothing fancy, but that's exactly the point. You're here for the food, and at 4.7 stars across nearly 300 reviews, people clearly think they're doing something right. Whether you're after a proper biryani or just want something reliable after work, this is where locals actually book a table.
