Saka Maka

Saka Maka is the kind of place that locals in Hither Green will tell you about with genuine enthusiasm. It’s not flashy—the grey tiger wallpaper and faux stone give it that classic takeaway feel—but the food punches above its weight. The Prawn Koliwada is a standout: crispy, juicy, and served with a tamarind sauce that elevates it beyond typical starter fare. For mains, the Zafrani Murgh is well-cooked and colorful, though some might find it slightly less creamy than expected. The garlic butter naan is solid, and everything comes fast with a friendly smile. It’s a solid choice if you want good Indian food without paying London prices or dealing with a crowded restaurant scene.
