Richmond Park is one of the great London escapes — 2,500 acres, herds of deer, and (if you know which gate you came in by) a serious appetite by the time you leave. This is a local's guide to where Indian food fits into a Richmond Park day.
The Geography Most Guides Miss
"Near Richmond Park" depends entirely on which gate you used. The Ham Gate and Petersham Gate exits put you closest to TW10, which is where Jaflong has been serving the local community since 2008. Richmond Gate puts you closer to Richmond Hill and the town centre. Robin Hood Gate sits on the Kingston side — different postcodes, different options.
Post-Walk Collection: The Local Routine
The classic Richmond Park routine: walk or cycle, collect curry on the way home, eat it warm at the kitchen table. We've optimised our process for this — order ahead online, collect from Petersham Road, and your 10% direct-order discount is applied automatically. Place a collection order.
What Locals Actually Order
After 18 years we have a pretty clear picture of what regulars from Ham, Petersham and Richmond Hill come back for week after week:
- Chicken Tikka Masala — the comfort default, especially with kids
- Lamb Rogan Josh — slow-cooked, deeply warming after a cold walk
- Chicken Achanak — our signature dish, a regular reorder
- Mixed Grill — the post-cycle protein hit
- Mushroom Rice + Garlic Naan — the unkillable side combo
Family-Friendly Dining
Our dining room comfortably handles family groups including young children — high chairs available, milder dishes clearly marked, and trusted halal suppliers/nut-free kitchen which makes everything simpler for mixed-allergy tables. Book a table.
Other Richmond Park Curry Options
The Richmond town centre has multiple Indian restaurants — we'd genuinely encourage you to try a few. We've also written a Twickenham comparison and a full Richmond curry guide if you want a wider survey.
