If you’re looking for something a little less traditional for this year’s Christmas bash, look no further than Sripur - a classic Indian restaurant and curry house in Tower Hill. Three decades old and counting, Sripur has built a loyal following of Londoners who come back time and time again for the extensive menu and typical Indian hospitality.
Well placed right near Tower Hill station and many historic London landmarks, Sripur is in an ideal location to get people together for a big Christmas party. Although you won’t be getting your usual roast turkey, what you can expect instead is comforting, sumptuous Indian cooking in the company of your closest friends, family or colleagues, and what’s more Christmassy than that?
Sripur’s chic, sophisticated interiors have something exotic about them thanks to the bamboo seating, warm wood detailing and abundance of foliage. The dining room itself is spacious, with plenty of room for large and small groups.
The huge menu has plenty to share between big groups. After the starts and snacks there are sizzling tandoori platters, loaded with lamb chops, chicken skewers, king prawns and more. From there, you’re spoilt for choice between searing hot naga chilli curries and creamy, comforting coconut-based dishes, and everything in between. Sripur cooks up regional specialities from all over India, whether it’s Bengali lamb shanks, braised for hours until falling from the bone, or a succulent Hydrabadi chicken in a sauce of coconut, yoghurt and onions.
There’s plenty of choice for vegetarians too so no-one gets left out at Sripur, and the restaurant is licensed so you can buy beer, wine and other alcoholic drinks on the premises.
