Indian Restaurant Near Me in Whetstone: a taste of Chit Chaat
Searching for Indian restaurant near me in Whetstone? Here is a look at the food and the room waiting for you at 135 High Street, Barnet.
Why Whetstone diners head up the road to Barnet
Whetstone High Road has plenty of cafes and quick bites, but when you want a full Indian meal with proper tandoor cooking, the trip north is short. Drive straight up the A1000 and you arrive in Barnet town centre in a few minutes, with two car parks around the restaurant. If you are meeting friends after work, the Northern line is just as easy: one stop from Totteridge & Whetstone to High Barnet, then a walk of about ten minutes.
A weeknight table for four works well with a mix of plates. Start with chilli paneer, masala fries and a round of pani puri, then bring out tandoori chicken and tandoori malai broccoli from the tandoor. For mains, chicken tikka masala, dal makhani and vegetable biryani cover meat-eaters and vegetarians alike, with naan and tandoori roti to mop everything up. A mango lassi or a cocktail from the bar rounds things off nicely.
Our hours are worth noting before you set out: Monday and Friday we open 12:00 to 15:00 and 17:30 to 22:30, Wednesday and Thursday 12:00 to 22:30, Saturday 12:00 to 23:00 and Sunday 12:00 to 22:00. We are closed on Tuesdays. To be sure of a table, especially on Friday or Saturday night, book online through OpenTable or call 07414 109555. From 1 to 23 December our two Christmas set menus make a festive night out.
