Paramount Indian Restaurant

Good eats, good price — in Wood Green?!! Who knew

Good local food. The restaurant décor is ‘old school curry house’, with table cloths and dark wood. I visited on a Friday night and the restaurant didn’t have many diners (a handful), but busy with people waiting for take out orders.
I opted for the take out service. Strangely, the garlic nan had a sweet taste — it was pleasant but just not what I had expected — I didn’t detect any garlic at all! It could have been an error to my order but I wasn’t complaining as it tasted good regardless. The mushroom curry was very flavoursome. The lamb rogon looked enticing and got the thumbs up (although I didn’t try it). I’d definitely use their service again.
Be careful as you enter — there’s an immediate step down!

It’s easy to find a mediocre Tandoori restaurant — there are half a dozen in every square mile, but the Paramount is a cut above the rest in this part of town.
Despite the tacky décor and the unnecessary fishpond, the place consistenly delivers quality Indian cuisine. The food is prepared with care and packed with flavour. On our most recent visit we ordered the king prawn madras, murgh (Chicken) tandoori, chicken rogan and rice. The spicing is superb, the sauces are not overly greasy as can happen in lacklustre places and the helpings are generous.
Nothing annoys me more than having to sift through your chicken curry to find the odd bit of meat as it’s all sauce and padding — not a problem here. The chunks are tender, well spiced and delicious.
Myself and my wife will continue to go back here and have learned to steer clear of the less impressive rival places in the area.

This place is an absolute gem. The Paramount doesn’t do English Indian — it offers real Indian. Everything is cooked to order and every dish is amazing. The don’t deliver because they don’t have to — the place is always full. However
they do offer a good collection service. If you’re in the area, don’t bother trying any other Indian restaurant!

Located just a minute walk from Wood Green tube station, Paramount is an award winning restaurant, which has been run by the same family since as long as I can remember.
I have been going here for years with my parents, and have even taken the odd date there. My favourite Indian meal is the chicken Korma, so that is what I usually get, but every dish in there is brilliant.
Another thing that really puts Paramount on a pedal stall for me, is that the waiters have been there for so many years too. So they don’t just look after the customer, but they look after their staff.
I have been here countless times and have recommended it countless times, and everybody says the same thing, its brilliant. Who needs brick lane when you’ve got Paramount!
ps, it also provides a takeaway service, pick up only.
