Believe it or not, our beautiful medieval city of Salisbury is also home to some rather fine Indian restaurants and takeaways.
Since the Scrutineer is written by unashamed lovers of Indian food, in the coming weeks we will profile some of the best places to get a good curry in Salisbury.
I’ll start with a list of places that I have eaten in/from, in order of preference:
Indian Restaurants
Anokaa (Without doubt the best in Salisbury, more ‘contemporary’ Indian food, will be reviewed in detail)
Hox Brasserie - I’ve only had lunch here - their south Indian dosa (I had masala dosa) but it was utterly amazing. If this is what their lunchtime deal is like, then I’m heading there for an evening meal next time I go out! (added 28/10/08)
Shah Jahan (More ‘traditional’ curries, with good chef’s specials, recommended)
Balti House (Buffet available every day, surprisingly good food, very reasonable prices - one of our stock restaurants we go to regularly)
The Golden Curry (the curry we had there was very greasy - couldn’t recommend it, sadly)
Indian Takeaways
SJ2 (104-106 Fisherton St, Salisbury, SP2 7QY. Tel: 01722 322666) - A takeaway run separately by the Shah Jahan restaurant. Superb, if a little pricey.
Balti House - Interesting takeaway menu, including southern Indian dishes, different to their restaurant buffet.
Chutneys (37 Estcourt Road, Salisbury, Wiltshire SP1 3AS T: 01722 504456) - Tasty, interesting menu, close to the Wyndham Arms for a quick pint while you wait for your meal to be cooked.
Takhdir (157 Fisherton St, Salisbury, SP2 7RP. Tel: 01722 506506) - Bog standard curries, reasonably priced.
There are several other restaurants and takeaways that we have yet to try - rest assured we’ll review them here as we work our way through them!
You appear not to have been to Hox Brasserie at 155 Fisherton Street. In my humble opinion it is streets ahead of anywhere else in Salisbury. Less fussy and pretentious than Anokaa and great value for money.
its a shame not able to see one of the largest and best looking indian restaurant in salisbury serving truly amazing food not listed in the site i would be greatfull if you can add the restaurant on your list or try the food its really great.
is it possible to add hoxbrasserie
The reason Hox Brasserie wasn’t on the page is because I hadn’t been there yet! As I say at the top of the article, it’s all about our opinion based upon our (unsolicited) visits.
However, I have now been to Hox for lunch and it was rather splendid. Next time I’m definitely going to try it for an evening meal! The service was also superb - it helps to make the experience all the better.
I’ve added it to the list
