The Temple Monkey in Upton Park offers guests cosy comfort with a relaxed and unpretentious setting. The Indian cuisine selection reflects contemporary culinary sensibilities, promising diners an enjoyable evening meal. A takeaway service provides more convenience. 

The menu comes alive with individual flair, offering an array of chicken, meat, seafood and vegetarian items, some familiar and others new. If chicken wings tempt you, it delivers them tossed in salt and pepper, with barbeque sauce and honey as well as crispy fried and tandoor baked. Curry lovers can set their palates alight with king prawn or chicken Chettinadu. Of South Indian provenance, both dishes have plenty of red chilli masala flavoured with mustard seeds and curry leaves. Mild lamb korma and murgh darbari, chicken in a cashewnut based gravy, present a study in contrast. Chicken dopiaza and lamb mince with peas, both from Hyderabad, as well as sesame fried prawns, ginger chicken and tilapia fish tikka provide more food for thought. Vegetarians can feel at ease with sizzled chilli paneer, tossed garlic mushrooms, chickpeas curry and sautéed potato and cauliflower.
