The top 5 curry spots in Liverpool

If you’ve never tried a Thali – a platter packed with various traditional Indian dishes – you should head to Little India and build your own Thali with your choice of curry, rice, naan bread and more. They also have a veggie option, so you can choose from a wide range of mouth-watering vegetarian dishes.

When visiting Little India, you’ve got to try the South-Indian gunpowder dosa, a deliciously crispy rice pancake served with chutney and Sambhar. The traditional Macchar Johl – a delicious fish dish with mustard curry. It may sound unusual but it’s definitely worth a try, as it packs a punch and will really get your taste buds going.

The best place to sample a good curry is at Bundobust – everyone’s favourite food and beer hall. Based on Bold Street, Bundobust is known for its vibrant Indian dishes from spiked bhajis and crispy okra fries to barbeque paneer tikka and the famous bhaji butty. 

If you are heading to Bundobust with a group, you should try their famous Bundo combo which feeds up to 8 people and includes nearly every item on the menu, including some flavour-packed curry dishes. They also have smaller combos for 2 or 4 people, which are packed with all Bundobust favourites. This is a great choice if you’re not sure what to order, as the combos include all the best bits. You can wash it all down with a fruity Bundo beer or a much-loved Bundbost pale ale, which are all made in Bundobust’s brewery just down the road in Manchester.

If you ask anyone in Liverpool about their favourite Indian, a lot of people will say Mowgli is their number one choice. That should be no surprise, as last year Mowgli was named the best restaurant in the North West at the British Curry Awards and now has 21 restaurants across the UK – the first being the Bold Street base. 

At Mowgli, you will be spoilt for choice with all the delicious options, from the flavourful yoghurt chat bombs and treacle tamarind fries to the delicious house chicken curry and Mowgli paneer, there is something for everyone. If you are stuck on what to order, opt for a food roulette tiffin box. If you are a meat lover, you should go for the Office Worker’s tiffin which includes a random selection of 4 tiers packed with meat, veg, carbs and curry, while the veggie Indian School option is the same minus the meat.

Sanskruti in Liverpool takes the crown when it comes to serving up some seriously mouthwatering vegan and veggie curry. Nestled in the heart of the city, this place is a curry lover’s paradise. The menu at Sanskruti boasts an array of authentic and flavorful curries, from velvety Kaju Masale to the rich Tarka Daal, each dish is packed with aromatic spices and fresh ingredients that will keep you coming back for more.

The ambiance at Sanskruti is cosy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to indulge in a comforting bowl of curry. If you fancy trying a mixture of Indian dishes, you should try a Thali (platter), which comes with a range of starters, mains, daal, rice, roti salad, and even dessert.

If you want to try some delicious Tandoori and Mughlai cuisine, Sultan’s Palace is the place to go. At Sultan’s, the Tandoori dishes are cooked in a traditional charcoal fired clay oven, which offers a flavourful and authentic eating experience. 

Some of the standout curry dishes at Sultan’s Palace include the butter chicken with Tandoori grilled chicken tikka and a hint of fenugreek. If you prefer something hotter, opt for the South Indian garlic chicken which is cooked in a flavourful garlic and chilli sauce or if you’re feeling daring, why not try the hottest item on the menu – the vindaloo with tender chicken in a hot chilli sauce – this is guaranteed to blow your socks off.
