Curry Heaven Newtown serves lunch and dinner from its place on Riddiford Street. The dining room offers a warm setting for an unhurried meal, but the restaurant also handles takeaway for evenings when eating at home is the priority. Table bookings make it easy to plan a group dinner, and the breadth of the menu means a mixed party can move between meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan choices without narrowing everyone to the same style of curry.

The opening plates range from crisp snacks to food from the tandoor. Onion bhaji combines spiced onion and chickpea flour in a starter that is also suitable for vegan diners. Chicken tikka, fish tikka and seekh kebab bring different proteins to the clay oven, while tandoori chicken is marinated before roasting and served with salad and a mint or tamarind sauce. Those dishes can be shared at the centre of the table or used as a smoky lead-in to the curries.

Curry Heaven's mains cover familiar comforts and sharper alternatives. Butter chicken pairs pieces of tandoori chicken with a creamy tomato sauce, while vindaloo supplies a more forceful route through the menu. Lamb, beef and seafood have their own sections, and the vegetable side is more than an afterthought: dal makhani, other vegetarian mains and a distinct vegan range give plant-based diners several ways to build a complete meal rather than relying on accompaniments alone.

Rice, breads and finishing dishes complete the Newtown experience. Biryani can be ordered with chicken, lamb, beef, king prawns or vegetables; the vegetable version combines saffron rice with fruit, nuts and coriander. Raita and chutneys allow diners to adjust richness and heat around the table. For dessert, gulab jamun offers syrup-soaked sweetness and mango kulfi brings a cooler finish, with mango lassi or spiced chai available alongside the meal.
