Blue Monk Take a step off the high street and into the oasis of Blue Monk. Based right in the middle of town, this hidden gem is a tranquil paradise of delicious Indian and Nepalese food. You’ll be greeted at the door with a smile by smart waiting staff in waistcoats and there’s plenty of cosy tables and booths for family meals, a romantic date or a night out with your mates. The menu is innovative and brings together flavours you know and some that are a little different. There are plenty of the classics available, from big, juicy chicken tikka to expertly cooked biryani. I would definitely advise you try out some of their Specialty dishes, the Eso Jhol is bursting with spices and will tantalise your taste buds. I can never resist a plate of Nepalese Momo, a traditional dumpling, or the street food favourite Samosa Chaat. There is a whole host of veggie options available too, the Nizami Paneer is perfection! Gorgeous food in lovely surroundings, what more could you want? If you can’t make it to the restaurant, do not fear! You can order takeaway on their website and enjoy the Blue Monk experience at home.
