Curry Time Redwood has been part of Main North Road since 2007, giving the restaurant a settled neighbourhood identity rather than the feel of a passing takeaway counter. Its contemporary dining room opens for both lunch and dinner, seven days a week. That schedule works equally well for a midday curry, a family meal or a relaxed evening with several dishes shared across the table.
A meal can begin at the clay oven. Chicken tikka, tandoori chicken, lamb chops, garlic kebab and herb-marinated hariyali tikka can be ordered separately, while fish, prawns, mushrooms and paneer also take on the tandoor's char. Mixed platters bring several of those preparations together; a dedicated vegetarian version combines samosa, onion bhaji, tandoori mushroom, paneer tikka and paneer-and-potato tikki with mint and tamarind sauces.
The curry list moves well beyond a single creamy house style. Butter chicken or lamb combines tomato, crushed cashew, spices and butter, while anaari uses pomegranate for a fruitier edge. Achari draws on Indian pickle and ginger, and dhansak brings yellow lentils and pumpkin into the sauce. The range lets diners choose between richness, tang, sweetness and earthy spice without simply treating heat level as the only distinction between dishes.
Vegetarian diners can turn to black lentil dal makhani, spinach with paneer, malai kofta, cumin-tempered tarka dal or a vegetable korma enriched with cashew and dried fruit. A varied bread list includes garlic naan, layered lachha paratha, lamb-filled keema naan and Kashmiri naan with coconut, nuts and raisins. Gulab jamun makes a traditional finish, while chocolate naan offers the restaurant's more playful dessert option.
