A small, traditional and authentic Indian​ restaurant. Friendly meals are described as traditional and authentic. Lots of vegetarian options - but you may need to ask if for certain dishes that are not on the menu. I had delicious aubergines here! Only a few tables so may be good to book. Open 6.00-11.00 pm. A five minute walk from my place. Take the short cut - past the New Quay, along Gales Hill, and down Sun Lane. Turn right.

Getting Around

The main line North and South and is a 10 minute walk on the flat through the town, from my place. This is highly recommended way to travel locally. The journey from Teignmouth to Exeter is very scenic, as the train hugs the coast, the red cliff, goes past Powderham castle with it grazing deer. Get to the small historic city of Exeter in 30 mins (get off at Exeter Central for the city centre). Or travel south to Totnes (around 15 minutes) or Plymouth (about 60 minutes).
