About this menu

Grand Cholan in Loughton is an Indian restaurant on High Rd, and its food runs from starters through curries to rice, naan and a range of sides. The starters include a basket of papadam, potato tikki chat and chicken tikka, while the curries bring together Kashmiri lamb rogan josh, Red Beryl butter chicken and mango king prawn curry. Rice and naan sit alongside, so a main course can be matched with whichever bread or rice you prefer.

Anyone ordering for the table can begin with chicken tikka or the basket of papadam, move on to a curry, then add rice or naan to go with it. Visitors who want a smaller order could pair one starter with something from the sides, while a fuller meal can be built around a curry with rice and bread alongside. The sides section, Accompaniment / Sides, lets each person adjust the table without changing their main course.
