"The Tamil Crown, from the same people behind The Tamil Prince, is down a leafy road in Angel that would get Richard Curtis going. It’s an excellent neighbourhood pub and Indian restaurant, pulling a great pint of Guinness downstairs and serving heaving platters of button-loosening Sunday roasts in the polished upstairs dining room. Perfectly tender lamb shank or moist, roasted masala chicken with charred skin are offered, with deep-fried cauliflower, jade-green beans cooked in creamy coconut, and shimmering gravy surrounding the main event. There’s a vegetarian sambar roast option too." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
