A Land Where Spices Speak

North India is known for its royal flavours, creamy gravies, and bold spice mixes. This part of India brings you food that feels grand yet comforting. Think of buttery curries, soft naan, sizzling tandoori kebabs, and slow-cooked dals. It’s a place where every meal feels like a feast!

From the streets of Delhi, the heart of Indian street food, to the farms of Punjab with its rich butter chicken and sarson ka saag, to the heritage kitchens of Uttar Pradesh known for their kebabs and kormas—each region adds its own charm. The common link between all of them? Spices.

And these aren't just any spices. They’re carefully handpicked, sun-dried, roasted, and ground at home—with love, patience, and age-old techniques passed down through generations. It's this mix of Mughlai richness (with dry fruits, cream, and ghee) and homemade warmth (like garam masala, jeera, dhania) that gives North Indian food its unforgettable flavour.

At Sherri’s in Slough, we bring this magic straight to your plate—staying true to tradition but made fresh for today’s tastes.

Cumin (Jeera): Adds warmth and a nutty flavour.
Coriander (Dhaniya): Mild and citrusy—perfect for balance.
Garam Masala: A special blend of spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. This is the soul of North Indian curries.
Turmeric (Haldi): Known for its golden colour and health benefits.
Kasuri Methi (Dried Fenugreek Leaves): That magical finishing touch that adds aroma and a gentle bitterness to dishes like butter chicken.
Red Chilli Powder: Adds just the right amount of heat.

These spices don’t just season food—they tell stories.

Food That Warms the Soul

Let’s talk about a few iconic North Indian dishes you’ll find at Sherri’s, made with authentic spices and pure love:

Butter Chicken

A global favourite that started in Delhi. The juicy tandoori chicken is cooked in a rich, buttery tomato gravy, laced with cream and finished with garam masala and kasuri methi. At Sherri’s, we slow-cook it the traditional way for maximum flavour.

Dal Makhani

Made with whole black lentils, simmered overnight, and cooked with butter, cream, and just a hint of cloves and bay leaves. It’s comfort food at its finest.

Paneer Tikka Masala

Chunks of marinated cottage cheese grilled in the tandoor and tossed in a spiced gravy—perfect with naan or rice.

Spices – Not Just for Taste, But for Health

In Indian kitchens, spices are not just about flavour. They’re also about well-being:

Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Cumin helps digestion.
Ginger and garlic are natural immune boosters.
Cinnamon helps balance sugar levels.

At Sherri’s, we honour these age-old benefits by staying true to traditional cooking methods. No shortcuts, no artificial flavours—just pure Indian goodness.
