Heritage Cuisine of India is a Kingsland restaurant led by chef Jaswinder Kaur, the third generation of her family to work in food. Guests can book an ordinary table, order online or arrange catering, while private events have two distinct scales: a larger area for groups of up to 45 and a smaller room seating 16. That flexibility gives the restaurant equal relevance to weeknight dinner and organised celebrations.
The starters reveal how much of the menu passes through the tandoor. Paneer tikka and charcoal mushroom tikka give vegetarians roasted options alongside onion bhaji, samosa and paneer 65. Meat and seafood choices stretch from tandoori chicken, chicken tikka and malai tikka to lamb seekh kebab, lamb chops, fish and prawns, making a mixed platter an effective way to compare marinades and char across several ingredients.
Curries move through both recognisable favourites and more specific house choices. Butter chicken and chicken tikka masala sit beside Lucknowi methi chicken, homestyle chicken and rara chicken, while lamb can be ordered as rogan josh or bhuna lamb and goat has its own curry. The seafood section is similarly developed, with fish masala, fish madras, butter prawns, prawns Malabari and butter scallops rather than a token single option.
Vegetarian cooking reaches from pindi channa and slowly cooked dals to palak paneer, navratan korma and malai kofta. A separate Indo Chinese section adds chilli paneer, vegetable Manchurian, Hakka noodles and fried rice, giving groups another set of flavours to share beside biryani and breads. Gulab jamun soaked in syrup, frozen kulfi and warm mung dal halwa close the meal with three very different sweet textures.
