About Grand Cholan Loughton
On the High Road in Loughton, Grand Cholan serves Indian food across a 39-dish menu, walk-in only. The Kashmiri Lamb Rogan Josh anchors the mains, alongside Dal Makhani and a Cholan Special Pakora to start. A basket of papadam accompanies the table, and the potato tikki chat rounds out the starters. The kitchen runs the full spread of a neighbourhood Indian restaurant rather than a shortened menu, giving diners a wide set of dishes to choose from in one sitting.
