The Old Lion

In Rugby, The Old Lion has become a steady local for anyone craving a proper curry. The kitchen turns out the classics, but also shows a knack for dishes that feel a bit more considered than your average takeaway fare. It is the sort of place where the rice and bread get just as much attention as the main event, which tells you something about the care that goes into the cooking.

Expect generous, deeply flavoured curries that arrive looking as good as they taste. The menu covers the expected bases, yet each dish comes with its own character, from rich, slow-cooked sauces to perfectly spiced vegetables. Whether you are after a fiery vindaloo or a mellow korma, the consistency here is impressive. Order online for delivery or collection, and you will see why this spot keeps its regulars coming back.
