Clapham Tandoori

We went there last night of the Wednesday banquet. £14 for a starter, main, rice/naan and a side dish. Not a bad price on the face of it.

However we were charged over £12 for popadums, which we were led to believe were complimentary, (only 5 of us eating) and £4.5 for one still water!!

Average food with hidden prices and unprofessional service

By far and away the worst curry I have ever eaten in London. I have no idea how anyone can give this place a good review for its food. Despite ordering a dish on the menu described as hot, it was one of the blandest things I've ever eaten.

Great quality food and great service. If you want a tasty meal at a reasonable price this is a fantastic place to go. Service was quick and the atmosphere relaxed. This restaurant has been well styled, so you can enjoy a great meal in stylish surroundings .. not your average tacky indian restaurant interior. Highly recommend it.

I am genuinely staggered by the positive reviews of this restaurant. This was without doubt the worst Indian food I’ve ever had, and I’ve eaten Indian food in Italy. The poppadoms were soggy and the accompanying pickles watery. Each of the main dishes arrived covered in a disgusting oily slick and were completely bereft of any hint of herbs, spices or flavour. Despite the fact that two of the dishes were advertised as “medium-hot” there wasn’t the slightest bit of chilli either in the taste or visible in the sauce. Even the rice was poor – luminous yellow and overcooked. From other dinners’ reviews I can only assume I caught the kitchen on a bad day but I certainly won’t be risking another visit.

I love this place - we have takeaway from here about twice a month and I ate in for the first time recently and it was even better! The staff are really friendly as well as the food being delicious.

The best Indian Restaurant I have ever been to! The staff are very friendly and helpful, the food is fantastic and the new menu includes the classics with some really interesting new additions. We recently went to another restaurant in the area (just to see what it was like) and left after our starters as the ambience and service wasn't a patch on CT. We love it!

This is a great restaurant as well as very handy location. Not at all your traditional red velvet-type curry house, it is very modern (with Bollywood movies playing on screens round the walls) but very atmospheric. The food is delicious and the staff are always helpful and friendly.

Quite possibly the best Indian in London.

Not generally a big fan of 'modern' Indian restaurants but, was genuinely surprised.

Thought the food was excellent as was the service.

Looking forward to a repeat visit and have recommended it to many people.
