Strand Tandoori

I don’t understand the negative reviews! This is possibly the best curry I’ve ever had!! The menu is extensive and it’s hard to know what to choose ! On this occasion I had the lamb Biryani which is so delicious! I asked for it without coriander and this was no problem for them! Most Indian restaurants have pre made sauces they use which contain coriander- the curries here are made freshly and it shows! Served with a delicious vegetable curry it’s my go to dish! My friend tried the tikka duck biryani which looked equally delicious! Very generous portions with absolutely loads of tender meat - delicious!! We ordered an additional portion of chicken korma and a vegetable Nan - we were absolutely stuffed but ate it all!! I’m sure anything on the menu would be as delicious. Very friendly service from the Boss! The only negative that could be improved upon is the tables are very tightly packed in ! This is of course a testament to their popularity but the dining experience could be better with a little more space! That said I’m already looking forward to coming again! I live in Southampton but this is my go to place when I want a curry in London! Excellent for pre theatre though they don’t open in the day so no good for pre matinee but do try for afterwards! You won’t regret it! Yum 🤤

Having had many Indian foods from many places around my area in the US, I had heard London had some good Indian food and this is one of the places! Compared to home this was hands down the best we ever had. It's a nondescript hole-in-the-wall joint, but don't let it deter you. We had lamb Tikka and butter chicken with basmati rice and the flavors were unlike any we've experienced before. Mr. Miah recommended eggplant vegetables to share. I don't like eggplant and I loved this side dish! Also ordered the Peshwari Naan which was great as well. For Americans just letting you know that you do not get complementary Naan and rice does not come with dinner as most Indian places in the US offer. It is À la carte here so be prepared to spend a little more. Also the chutney are not the same as in America. We didn't much enjoy the chutney provided here, but that was fine as the food didn't require any chutney. Aside from the last couple points we will definitely be back when we return to London in the future!

Food was delicious. service was great. would 100% go back. If your expecting a large room to dine then you will be disappointed... this restaurant is small but so lovely... there isn't loads of space but it's perfect for couples and small groups. don't let that turn you off as their food really is amazing.
