Tiffin Indian Restaurant is a Kingsland dining room built around the generous scope of Indian restaurant cooking. Its New North Road kitchen serves lunch on selected weekdays and dinner through most of the week, with both reservations and online ordering available. Fresh ingredients and practiced handling of spice underpin the approach. The broad menu suits a quick curry and bread as comfortably as a table that wants to linger over several starters, mains and rice dishes.
The opening section moves easily between street-food flavours and the heat of the tandoor. Pani puri fills crisp semolina shells with potato, chickpeas, tamarind and tangy spiced water, while bhel puri brings another chaat-style route into the meal. Samosa, onion bhaji and vegetable pakora cover familiar fried snacks. From the clay oven come yoghurt-marinated prawns, seasonal fish, chicken, lamb seekh kebabs and house-made paneer, giving a group plenty of contrasting textures before the curries arrive.
Those curries are distinguished by more than their choice of protein. Chicken can be paired with spinach, creamy cashew gravy, hot Goan vindaloo sauce, coconut-rich Malvani masala or the tomato depth of tikka masala. Lamb rogan josh, goat curry and lamb kofta extend the meat selection, while prawns and fish appear in coconut, tomato-tamarind and masala preparations. The menu's regional cues make it possible to move from gentle, rounded sauces to sharper chilli, vinegar and spice without treating every curry as interchangeable.
Vegetarian diners have a similarly developed selection, including tempered yellow lentils, slow-cooked black lentils, chana masala, palak paneer, malai kofta, okra and Goan-style paneer. Basmati rice, vegetable or meat biryani and breads from garlic naan to paneer kulcha and keema naan complete the table. For larger parties, mixed platters and banquets organise those choices into a shared progression, including starters, several curries, bread, rice and, on one banquet, pistachio kulfi to finish.
