From a reviewer’s perspective, the menu at Cafe Nawaz presents a fairly traditional South Asian selection with a clear focus on familiar starters, tandoori grills, and rich curry-style specialities. The starter section includes Onion Bhaji, Mix’d D’ouvre, and ALOO TIKKI (D, VE, GF), alongside seafood options like Salmon Samosa and AMRITSARI FISH CUTLAT, offering a balance between vegetarian bites and spiced fish-based appetisers. Moving into the tandoori range, the menu highlights grilled classics such as Tandoori Chicken (Half), Chicken Tikka, Lamb Tikka, as well as skewer-style options like Paneer Shashlik and King Prawn Shashlik, reflecting a standard but dependable selection for tandoor lovers. The speciality mains lean into creamy and spice-forward sauces, featuring dishes like Chicken Tikka Masala, Monsuri Chicken, and Butter Chicken Srpreme, which appear designed for a rich, comforting dining experience. More heat-driven and aromatic options such as Murgh Tikka Jalfrazi and Garlic Chicken Tikka round out the menu, suggesting a spectrum from mild, creamy profiles to sharper, spicier flavours. Overall, the menu reads as consistent and familiar, prioritising well-known favourites over experimental offerings, with clear emphasis on grilled meats, indulgent curries, and accessible Indian takeaway-style dining.
