From north to south, Indians follow many different cooking styles and there are no prizes for guessing that the tandoori style is most certainly the best known. In Mount Street, Nottingham, the Laguna Tandoori restaurant pays homage to the traditional clay oven it calls 'the most versatile kitchen equipment in the world'.

Diners from Nottingham and beyond enjoy home-style food from the North of India in a spacious and tastefully done up interior. The dishes are created using fragrant herbs and spices and have a distinct aroma that cannot come from commercially available curry powders.

A meal there could begin with tandoori starters of seekh kebab, fish tikka or succulent tandoori chicken. Among main courses, the 'delicacies for the connoisseur' section presents the exotic lamb Shahjehani created with assorted fruit and herbs, while the chef's recommendations include a buttery chicken makhni. Close to ten different traditional Indian breads complement the food.
