Frequently asked questions
What type of food is served?
imli serves desi dishes built around spiced grills, curries, rice dishes, and naan-led meals. Guests typically browse signature plates first, then add sides or a deal.
What are the usual opening hours?
Most UK branches of imli trade through lunch and evening service, but exact opening times vary by location - check your nearest store before you visit.
Do they offer delivery?
Many imli locations support delivery through their own channels or major UK apps. Coverage and fees depend on your postcode and the branch.
Can I customise my order?
Yes - most imli dishes can be adjusted for toppings, sauces, or sides, though not every item is fully customisable.
Are there vegetarian or vegan options?
Vegetarian-friendly desi dishes appear across the menu. Vegan suitability depends on cheese, sauces, and kitchen practice, so confirm with staff if you need a strict plant-based meal.
Is imli halal?
This listing does not mark imli as fully halal. If that matters to you, ask the branch directly about meat sourcing.
Are meal deals available?
Yes. Deals such as Mild Spice Box Meal usually offer better value than buying the same items separately.
Do prices vary between locations?
Yes. MenuPick shows guide prices starting from around from £0.75, but city-centre or delivery mark-ups can differ by branch.
What should I order if I am new here?
Start with Chicken Pakora if you want a clear house favourite, then decide whether a meal deal saves more than separate sides.
Do I need to pre-order?
Walk-ins are usually welcome, and many branches also accept online collection or delivery orders. Pre-ordering helps at peak times.

Budget-Friendly Choices at imli
imli keeps everyday pricing approachable, though add-ons can push the total up. Simple builds and set deals are usually smarter than stacking every premium extra.
| Option Type | What to Expect | Smart Choice Example |

| Light meals | Simple single desi dishes | Vegetarian Biryani |
| Saver deals | Basic combinations without heavy extras | Rogan Josh (Medium) + drink |

- For budget-conscious users: A Vegetarian Biryani or simple custom build keeps spending low
- For quick takeaway: Standard picks like Rogan Josh (Medium) or Bhuna (Medium) are easiest to grab and go
What to Know Before Ordering from imli
Before you order from imli, remember that portion size and price shift with customisation. The menu works best when you keep extras intentional.
- Portion sizes can vary depending on the item and how it is prepared in-store
- Build-your-own or heavily customised orders can become expensive if too many extras are added
- Meal deals often offer better overall value than buying every item separately
- Some dishes like Dopiaza are very filling and may not need many sides
- Availability of specific toppings or specials may vary slightly by location

| Halal | Not marked as fully halal on this listing - confirm with the restaurant if needed |
| Vegetarian | Wide range of vegetarian-friendly options, including choices such as Vegetarian Biryani |
| Vegan | Vegan cheese, sauces, or plant-based swaps may be available in selected stores - always confirm preparation methods |
