Curry India Tandoori
Quick info
About Curry India Tandoori
On Crouch St in Colchester, Curry India Tandoori serves Indian cuisine in the evenings only, Tuesday to Sunday, with Mondays closed. The restaurant operates on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. The kitchen draws on the tandoori tradition its name reflects, working from the same evening-only schedule each open day. Guests arrive and are seated as tables become available, fitting the pattern of an after-hours dining spot rather than a lunch destination. The address places it among the row of businesses on Crouch St, and the closed Monday gives the schedule its one fixed break in an otherwise six-day week.
