The Village

Locals in Birkenhead know that when a craving for properly layered biryani strikes, The Village delivers. This Indian and tandoori spot has earned its reputation through consistently robust cooking that treats each grain of rice with respect. The menu leans into the kind of slow-cooked, spice-forward food that rewards patience—marinated meats, charred edges from the tandoor, and biryanis that arrive fragrant with saffron and cardamom.

The biryani here is the headline act, but the tandoori offerings are just as compelling—think smoky, yoghurt-marinated chicken and lamb cooked until the exterior blisters. Each dish comes with the sort of deep, unhurried flavour that suggests proper technique rather than shortcuts. Whether you’re ordering for delivery or collection, this is the kind of cooking that makes a midweek evening feel like an occasion. The Village understands that great Indian food is about balance, and they get it right every time.
