Friends India Huntington is the Gordonton Road branch of a two-restaurant Hamilton operation, with lunch and dinner service as well as takeaway and catering. The dining room is fully licensed and also permits BYO, which gives family meals and group occasions some flexibility. Its deliberately broad menu moves across regional dishes, clay-oven cooking and Indo-Chinese favourites rather than centring every order on a single curry and bread.

The opening sections make that breadth immediately visible. Vegetable pakora, samosa and paneer tikka sit beside tandoori chicken, malai tikka, seekh kebab and prawns roasted in the clay oven. Punjabi choices include chole bhature and an Amritsari thali, while dosa fillings range from spiced potato to egg, lamb mince or chicken. Hakka noodles, Manchurian dishes and chilli paneer then bring a distinct Indo-Chinese turn to the table.

Curries are organised not only by protein but also by cooking style. Chicken, lamb and beef can move from creamy korma to sharper vindaloo, coconut-based Madras or spinach-rich saag, while Chettinadu preparations use black pepper, curry leaves, garlic and ginger. Goat curry stays closer to a bone-in traditional format, and the seafood section travels through Malabari prawns, Goan fish curry, tomato-based masala and jalfrezi with peppers and onions.

Vegetarian diners have a similarly developed route through the menu. Dal makhani and dal fry sit beside chickpea masala, potato-and-cauliflower curries, paneer in spinach, tomato or cashew gravies, and vegetable or paneer biryani. Fresh tandoori breads help shape a shared meal, while Indian sweets provide the final course. For larger occasions, the same broad repertoire can be discussed as catering for family, corporate or celebration groups.
