Christmas Dinner in Fleet Street

Why Choose an Indian Restaurant for Christmas Dinner in Fleet Street?

An Indian Christmas dinner offers a flavourful alternative to the traditional festive roast. You can enjoy sharing starters, fragrant spices, freshly cooked curries, rice, and naan while spending time with the people who matter to you.

At The India – Fleet Street, we focus on traditional Indian cuisine and warm hospitality. Our restaurant provides a comfortable setting where you can enjoy your festive celebration without the work of preparing a large meal at home.

Our Crane Court location is particularly convenient for people working near Fleet Street, Temple, Chancery Lane, Blackfriars, and the wider City of London. Whether you are arranging an after-work Christmas dinner, catching up with friends, or bringing your family together, Indian food offers plenty of choices for different tastes.

What Is Included in The India Fleet Street Christmas 2026 Menu?

Our published Christmas 2026 menu features three festive set-menu options, including a vegetarian selection. Each menu has a minimum requirement of two people and includes a sharing starter, a selection of main courses and sides, plus rice or naan.

A Christmas set menu is a planned selection of dishes prepared for festive dining. It helps you understand the available choices and pricing before arranging a celebration, which can be especially helpful when organising a meal for several guests.

Please note that the published Christmas menu states that some dishes may contain nuts and a suggested gratuity of 12.5% will be added to the bill. Speak with our team about dietary needs, your preferred menu, and the final arrangements before confirming your booking.

Which Indian Dishes Should You Try This Christmas?

Our Christmas 2026 menus include a range of creamy, aromatic, mild, and richly spiced dishes. You can choose familiar Indian favourites or discover something different for your festive meal.

Some dishes worth exploring from our published festive selection include:

• India Special Tandoori Platter: A sharing starter featuring chicken tikka, lamb tikka, tandoori king prawns, and salmon tikka.
• Lamb Chaap Handi: Lamb chops slowly cooked in a handi with aromatic spices and North Indian influences.
• King Prawn Malabar: King prawns with coconut cream, mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chillies, and spices.
• Butter Chicken: Tandoori-grilled chicken tikka served in a mild, creamy sauce.
• Shatkora Chicken or Lamb: A richly flavoured curry featuring shatkora, a distinctive citrus fruit.

If you prefer milder dishes, Butter Chicken or Tikka Masala may be appealing choices. If you enjoy stronger or more distinctive flavours, ask our team about the other options. You can also explore our complete Indian restaurant menu for more information about our food.
