About Nandita
Hi ! Being born and raised in Punjab, food was celebrated in our household every single day . It was an expression of the different weather and moods ~ rainy days call for a hot cup of chai and pakoras and winters would mean mustard greens for breakfast with hot paranthas! Living close to my grandparents was a treat growing up as we sat around the table as one big family and lunches and dinners were always a big spread!
My urge to recreate my grandma’s and mum’s recipes rose when I was 18, freshly moved out of my home-country India, to the UK and living the student life of beans on toast back in the day. I would spend hours with my mum on the phone trying to perfect the lentils, curries, staple veggies and even the way she would cook her rice! Fast forward to when I got married and lived in the city, worked long hours, coming back home and cooking a steaming hot Indian meal became therapeutic. It was only when we moved to the countryside a few years ago that my love for cooking actually got direction and Curry Nights was born, in an attempt to introduce our fellow villagers to what we have grown up eating, flavours that are so close to our hearts. This passion to bring you the best of dishes from our motherland is fuelled by the love we got and continue to receive from people.

About Curry Nights with Nandita
Curry Nights started back in 2021 over a casual dinner table conversation as we had recently moved from near London where we lived for over a decade, to the countryside with no accessibility to Indian food nearby. That led to a strong desire to bring our heritage food to everyone in our community and before we knew it, we were catering to not just our village, but also to the lovely people up in Middle Barton and Dunstew too. Our Curry community has since grown and we now have a long established weekly takeaway trade operating from Heyford Park, just up the road as well as doing supper clubs and private events.
Having Punjabi roots, our core food flavours are very authentic to that region and all our recipes have been passed down generations ~ special thanks to my grandmother who even after she’s gone, continues to influence the way I cook whilst staying true to my roots!
We hope you will join us on this culinary journey and taste the culture of the east through our food.
We can't wait to cook for you!

My family and I are huge fans of Nandita's delicious curries! You can taste the love, care and attention that goes into every dish. The authentic Indian cooking and mouth watering spices will keep you coming back for more! The curries are heavenly and home made samosas are the best that I have ever tasted. "Curry Thursday" is becoming our favourite night of the week! Thank you Nandita!

My family and I absolutely love Heyford Curry Nights! Thursday evening has become one of the highlights of our week. Quite simply some of the best curries we've ever tasted. The whole family have become Curry Nights addicts. We eagerly await the menu being published on Tuesday and look forward to our Thursday treat. Superbly balanced spicing and perfectly cooked chicken or paneer!
If you're more familiar with to take-aways, prepare for a great surprise - Heyford Curry Nights has the perfect combination of home-cooked warmth and professional attention to detail. Tip for any first-timers: don't overlook the side dish of the week and samosas! They are always amazing and a great contrast to the main dish.
