Husna's Indian Kitchen (Home Cooked Indian)

Cheltenham's home-style Indian kitchen where the thali is a steal and the spice level is yours to choose.

A small, clean, no-frills family restaurant with just four or five tables and a plain interior. the focus is entirely on food and service rather than decor. Warm and welcoming in spirit despite simple surroundings. Not licensed and no BYO. Functions primarily as a takeaway kitchen with a compact dine-in option.

Family-run by Husna, her husband, and son. a genuinely personal operation. Spice level customisable on every dish. SMS notification sent when takeaway order is ready. Tandoor oven used for breads and tikka. Strong awareness of food allergies including gluten-free noted by a regular coeliac. Extensive vegan options across the menu.

Strong North Indian home-cooking authenticity. chole bhature described as tasting like Delhi, biryani praised as the best in the area by reviewers, and multiple Indian-background reviewers describe the food as tasting like home. Fresh garlic and ginger used visibly. Butter chicken runs sweeter than restaurant-adapted versions. a deliberate house style that divides opinion.

The thali at approximately $17 is consistently described as a steal for the quantity. multiple curries, rice, bread, and sides. Some dishes priced slightly higher than comparable takeaway Indian but quality justifies the difference. Portioning can vary between delivery and dine-in.
