Blackheath Village has a number of Indian restaurants, and this one, which also specialises in Nepalese cuisine, is one of the best. Situated in the heart of Blackheath Village overlooking a pretty patch of green, it’s bright and airy and offers traditional dishes with a modern twist. For example, as a starter, the Nepali Choyla (£7.50), a dish originating from Katmandu, is a riot of textures, with crunchy, crispy rice, barbecued marinated lamb and a hotch potch of fenugreek seeds and spices. The Lakeside Fish (£12.95) is a delicious and delicately spiced concoction of marinated fish pan fried with crushed mustard, lemon and ginger, a recipe from Pakahara in Nepal.
