The Marigold Tavern brings a fresh take on Indian dining to Peterborough, combining the welcoming feel of a traditional pub with the vibrant flavours of authentic Indian cuisine. Located in Eye Green, the spacious restaurant offers a relaxed setting that's perfect for family meals, celebrations, casual dinners and catching live sport in the bar area. With plenty of free parking, friendly service and a menu that's packed with freshly prepared dishes, it's become a popular destination for both locals and visitors.
The menu begins with a tempting selection of starters that showcase the kitchen's attention to flavour. Crisp onion bhajis, flaky vegetable and meat samosas, spicy chilli paneer and golden chicken pakora are ideal for sharing, while seekh kebabs, lamb chops and fish pakora provide a hearty introduction to the meal. Fresh poppadoms served with a traditional pickle tray offer a simple but satisfying way to start, while chilli king prawns deliver a warming kick for those who enjoy a little extra spice.
The restaurant's tandoor plays a starring role, producing smoky, succulent grilled dishes including chicken tikka, lamb chops, paneer shashlik and tandoori king prawns. Mixed grills arrive loaded with expertly marinated meats, making them a great choice for sharing. Alongside the grills, you'll find an impressive range of house specials, from creamy butter chicken and the ever-popular chicken tikka masala to rich lamb jalfrezi, fragrant garlic chicken, slow-cooked goat curry and traditional biryanis layered with aromatic spices.
Every curry is best enjoyed with freshly baked naan, whether you choose classic garlic naan, cheesy chilli naan, keema naan or the house special. Fragrant pilau rice, mushroom rice and coconut rice complete the meal, while side dishes such as saag paneer, bombay potatoes, chana masala and masala chips add even more flavour to the table. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite, a relaxed evening meal or drinks while watching the match, The Marigold Tavern serves generous portions, authentic Indian cooking and a warm welcome every time.
