AI Summary

Ivanhoe's 27-year Indian institution. house curries, tandoori and an owner who knows regulars.

Cosy and homely, with decades of history behind it; the decor keeps noise down but a couple of reviewers find the dining room tired and cramped. Warm, personal hospitality from long-time owner Vijay is the defining note.

BYO wine with corkage, complimentary birthday desserts for the table, gluten-free and dairy-free requests accommodated without fuss, banquet menus for groups, tandoor-cooked breads and kebabs.

Family-run for over 27 years by the same owners, with home-style North Indian cooking that long-term regulars describe as consistently authentic.

Generally seen as reasonably priced with strong lunch specials (curry, rice, roti and a drink), though a couple of reviewers flagged individual side charges as steep.
