Located on Prospect Hill, Indian Street Kitchen brings the vibrant energy and bold flavours of Mumbai’s street food scene to the heart of Douglas. Opened in November 2020 by local restaurateur Shri Naik — also the owner of the popular Kurries and Steaks — this casual eatery was the first of its kind on the Isle of Man, and continues to be a go-to spot for flavour-packed, fast, and fresh Indian cuisine.
Inspired by the lively food stalls of Shri’s hometown of Mumbai, Indian Street Kitchen offers a more relaxed, street-style dining experience, perfect for lunchtime bites, quick dinners, or casual catch-ups. The vibe is informal and friendly, with counter service, dine-in tables, and a full takeaway menu available for those on the go.
The menu is full of authentic Indian street food with a creative, modern twist. Standout favourites include express rice bowls with tender pulled pork or spiced chicken, and open flatbreads filled with creamy butter chicken — dishes designed to be quick, satisfying, and bursting with flavour. These are balanced by lighter options, vegan-friendly dishes, and plenty of vegetarian choices, ensuring there's something for every appetite.
Indian Street Kitchen also serves up Indian-style all-day breakfasts, a unique offering on the island that blends traditional flavours with morning staples. And for those after something refreshing, the drinks menu includes classic Indian soft drinks like Thums Up and Limca, alongside a variety of hot and soft drinks.
The restaurant is especially popular with Douglas office workers looking for a fresh and filling lunch option, but it also attracts locals and visitors in search of something a little different — casual, fast, and full of flavour. With its mix of Indian staples and influences from wider Asian cuisine, the menu is as diverse and dynamic as the city streets that inspired it.
Behind it all is Shri Naik, a Mumbai native who moved to the Isle of Man in 2003 and has since become a respected figure in the island’s hospitality scene. Indian Street Kitchen is the second restaurant under his care, following the success of Kurries and Steaks — and it reflects his passion for creating spaces that feel welcoming, energetic, and true to their roots.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite on your lunch break, picking up dinner on the way home, or dining in for a relaxed meal with friends, Indian Street Kitchen offers a delicious, authentic taste of India — served fast, full of flavour, and with a personal touch.
