About

Archana is a small-to-medium Indian restaurant focusing on Punjabi cuisine with a chic yet intimate ground-floor setting, plus a larger upstairs dining area. The menu includes a large range of vegetarian and clearly labeled vegan dishes such as dal saag, balti Punjabi Masala, and vegan naans, with prices starting around £6. Reviewers highlight attentive and friendly staff who accommodate vegan requests well, though some note occasional rushed service and a higher price point compared to casual curry houses.
