5 Restaurants in Swindon

There are plenty of restaurants in Swindon town centre catering to lovers of Asian cuisine, including several which offer a choice of exotic dining experiences under one roof. Expect varied menus, lavish buffets and interiors decked out with lanterns, carved screens and roomy, crimson-upholstered banquettes that make ideal seating for large parties or family outings. Familiar starters of spring rolls, onion rings and the like lead on to popular mains such as Kung Pao chicken, roast pork with plum sauce and crispy shredded beef. Non meat-eaters meanwhile can opt for a vegetarian stir fry or Szechuan-style bean curds.

Likewise, there's no lack of buzzing Swindon restaurants rustling up Indian cuisine, whether you want to snack on a plate of mixed kebabs or savour a signature dish such as a whole chicken cooked in a traditional Tandoori clay oven. Curries run the gamut from mild, creamy tikka passanda to hot, spicy pathia and perspiration-inducing vindaloo. Their handy central location makes these establishments a good option if you want to combine a meal out at one of Swindon's restaurants with a visit to the town's clubs, bars and nightspots.
