Chiraag Indian & Nepalese Restaurant

Croydon's go-to Indian-Nepalese local where butter chicken and garlic naan keep families returning for years.

Warm, neighbourhood-restaurant feel with a retro 1970s interior that reviewers describe as a charming step back in time. Fills up quickly on weekends; gets lively and a touch noisy when busy. Suitable for family dinners and casual date nights.

Tandoor oven produces smokily authentic lamb cutlets and naan. Dual Indian and Nepalese menu gives diners access to momos alongside classic subcontinental curries. Popular for both dine-in and takeaway; some regulars have ordered for over a decade.

Dual Indian and Nepalese authenticity confirmed by multiple reviewers of South Asian background who describe dishes as tasting like home. Nepalese momos and Nepali chilli chicken are distinctive additions alongside North Indian classics.

Budget to mid-range (price level 1) with generous portions noted by many reviewers. Consistently praised as excellent value for quality. One critic found the portion-to-price ratio underwhelming on a takeaway order, but the majority rate it very good value.
