I will admit to a complicated relationship with Indian food. I love the spices, the smells, the variety – but sometimes my weak palate says otherwise; many an evening has seen me wolfing down a lamb bhuna or chicken jalfrezi with tears streaming down my face, tall glass of ice water sitting faithfully by the plate. Despite this, I still continue this love/hate relationship and will never stop trying to finish my bhuna.
This is just a taster of the fantastic Indian cuisine available in Surrey & SW, and we know there must be those of you left amazed that your favourites aren't on the list - comment or tweet, and tell us what we're missing out on...

India Dining Warlingham
Having been named 'Best In Surrey' by Pat Chapman, founder of the Curry Club, Warlingham's aptly-named India Dining has a lot to prove, and does so with a unique menu that's been described as "Indian food with a European gourmet twist". Don't expect the usual here, but do expect food that lives up to its price.
