Exception Curry

Tucked away in Rochester, Exception Curry brings proper tandoori cooking to the forefront. This is a kitchen that understands the deep, smoky char of a clay oven and the gentle warmth of slow-simmered spices. The menu stretches beyond the expected, with biryani and rice dishes sitting comfortably alongside the signature tandoori offerings. It’s the kind of place where the cooking feels intentional—each dish built around bold flavour rather than speed.

Think tender chicken tikka, blistered and fragrant, or a lamb biryani where every grain of rice carries a whisper of saffron and cardamom. The chefs here know their way around a marinade, and the results speak for themselves. Whether you’re after a quick collection or a relaxed meal at home, Exception Curry delivers that unmistakable taste of proper Indian cooking.
