Ferry Indians is a Woolston restaurant with separate lunch and dinner service and enough range to support both a quick curry and a long shared meal. The Ferry Road dining room accepts table bookings, while takeaway gives local diners another way to use the same menu. Meat, seafood and vegetarian dishes are treated as equally substantial parts of the selection, making the restaurant practical for groups whose preferences do not neatly align.

The tandoor gives the starters much of their character. Haryali chicken tikka is marinated with yoghurt, coriander and spices, lamb chops spend the night in mustard oil and yoghurt before cooking, and lamb kebabs use finely minced meat seasoned for the grill. Vegetable and mixed platters combine samosas, onion bhaji, aloo tikki and bhutte ke kebab, while tandoori prawns and fish offer seafood alternatives for a table building its own shared first course.

Curries move well beyond one universal sauce. Bhuna gosht uses lamb, fenugreek, tomato, yoghurt and coconut; lamb Anarkali brings nuts, onion and pomegranate into the gravy; and Goan or Malabari fish dishes pair seafood with ginger, garlic, coconut or dry spices. Paneer, black lentils, chickpeas, eggplant, cauliflower and soya chaap receive dedicated preparations, so a meat-free meal can have the same variety of textures and regional flavours as the rest of the menu.

Biryani, tandoor breads and set banquets make the extensive list easier to navigate. Chicken, lamb, vegetable, prawn and bone-in goat biryanis sit beside naan ranging from plain and garlic to keema, paneer and Peshawari fillings. A banquet combines starters, a chosen curry, basmati rice and naan, while mango or pistachio kulfi and cardamom-scented gulab jamun provide a traditional sweet finish after the spice and char of the savoury courses.
