Tandoor Chop House in City of London, Westminster

They don’t serve fine dining or any Indian style curry except roti All they have is starter , which taste ok ok. We even asked at counter but they don’t clarify it. Overall not as expected May be you go for drinks and enjoy starter But not Indian style

Lovely place, value for money, but was hoping for a kick out of the food, the spice level was very mild.

Slightly overrated place. But convenient for office lunches in the Charing Cross vicinity

Very warm welcome, very good service, very good food! If you are passing through London I recommend this restaurant!

The food is delicious..note that they only have halal chicken

He estado por aquí durante mucho tiempo y he estado en muchos restaurantes comidas, etc., este lugar es tan refrescante, sin pompa, sin circunstancias, un entorno básico, pero la comida está en un nivel diferente, la guarnición de pollo miel es para morirse y toda la experiencia fue absolutamente preciosa, mantenlo

Delicious food, friendly staff and great value for money. Highly recommend!

Limited menu, Overpriced, more of Tapas joint with influences of the Indian sub continent than anything else...

Good food. Friendly staff. Good location for the train station.

Listen, Two great things combined doesn’t always work. Joggers and leggings both work. Jeggings? Something’s been lost in the amalgamation. Smashing a good old English chop house together with a tandoor oven does feel like a no brainer though. Large pieces of meat on bone, slathered in Indian spices, burnished in a 500 degree tandoor oven. Is a review even necessary? Annoying bits first. QR codes for menus are nonsense. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Restaurants, stop it. We prefer to gaze lovingly at a piece of paper so we can map out our meal in a more tangible way. Call it a life pleasure. After much scrolling and squinting we deduce the menu is fairly small. A few meats and fish from the tandoor. Four sides and a selection of naan, that’s the gist of it. Something of a relief if choice fires a bright beam of light to your bunny eyes. I crave simple almost as much as I crave curry so we’re in a good place here. We order the lamb chops and tandoori chicken from the tandoor along with some black dal and a tomato, cucumber and onion kachumber. My reflex ‘rice for the table’ is swiftly rebuked by our helpful, knowledgable server. ‘This is North Indian cuisine’ we learn. I like that he was steadfast about their preference for naan, of which there were a few to sample. But first some nibbles. An impressive looking stack of onion rings that weren’t impressive in any other way. Soggy batter and the onion still raw inside. The smoked aubergine raita was nice though, and my index finger an adequate carriage. Cauliflower bites were more successful. The subtlety of the cauliflower brought out with sensitive spicing, they were at once crispy and soft, the raison d’être of a croquette. The rest arrives soon after and is a pleasing array. Tandoori chicken comes with the breast separated from the thigh and leg. I wonder if they cooked it this way too because both pieces managed to retain some of their juice. Skillz to the operator of that piece of kitchen equipment. 500 degrees can do bad things to a chicken breast but this one was plump and pleasing. Spicing wasn’t too dissimilar to many other tandoori chickens I’ve eaten and that’s a compliment. That there is a universal flavour to this dish gives hope that the collective unconscious can indeed make the world a better place. Jung would be delighted. Lamb chop spices leaned more towards the pepper and clove end of the scale and were a pleasing contrast. The tandoor is a lot kinder to lamb. Outsides are allowed to be burned. Insides actually benefit from a lack of prolonged hear. Something the Chop House exploits well. Black dal came as expected. Plenty of it. Nice and creamy. Perhaps not as sugary as the daddy at Dishoom. Onion and tomato Kambuchar did its job of lying to the brain that this was indeed the right amount of green to be putting in the body. Breads worked well. Bone marrow naan was a plain naan spread with a good bone marrow sauce. Never seen that. Would order it again. The naan were thin and not indelicate. The thinness made it feel like these were to be enjoyed in their own right rather than just to fill any last remaining pockets of air in the stomach. My companion in this latest culinary adventure came all the way from Portland. An old friend lost to the brain drain. I wanted to remind her what she was missing in good old Blighty and all I could think was ‘curry’. The marriage of the old English chop house provided a relaxed, informal, sturdy setting in which to gabble, gossip and grab at food. The Tandoor Chop House does what it says on the tiffin. Meat and spice in an English Indian canteen. Simple. Effective. A good marriage. Like a spork. Prices are steep though, perhaps as a consequence of being slap bang in the middle of the world’s capital. Nonetheless, in this age of divorce, a successful marriage of ideas which I hope lasts until my Portland pal pops by again.

Comida increíble, porciones generosas, gran relación calidad-precio. Diez de cada diez. Muy recomendable! Fantásticos sabores, nuestros huéspedes quedaron impresionados.

Attended a Christmas function here and the whole experience was phenomenal. Great, friendly service. The restaurant is small and cozy. We had the festive set menu which was incredible- the food was hot, beautifully presented and perfectly spiced. The coconut ice cream dessert rounded the meal off on a happy note! I will definitely be back.

always awesome. we are regulars and the only problem is pacing ourselves... so good

Great service and drinks However the food ain’t to the standards we, punjabis would eat. If you want flavourful Indian this ain’t the spot. None of the food hit and it seems to be aimed at the non Indian audience. Real shame as the Instagram hype brought me here.

Really bad place. We got the wrong naan bread and then when we asked for the right one we got a burned one. The tandoori was grilled chicken with dip. We have been to india and this was just really bad

Delicious tandoori cuisine with a modern twist. Succulent chicken, moist and fresh naan in a cool vibe room

Was on the hunt for the best Indian in Soho/Mayfair/Covent/etc and this place absolutely delivered on the lamb chops. Added an extra one for 6£ and only wish I had added two. Brilliant chops. Had the chatt and green chilie naan, all wonderful. Tried a drink and the white elephant IPA, all good.

Cosy atmosphere and some traditional vibes with the massive ovens that are visible. The food was not bad, service was pleasant. They accommodated for extra time on a weekday evening. Expect a service charge on the bill. The spices are not going to be very spicy and we requested some sauces to make it less dry as it didn’t come with any. Overall it was decent, can’t complain. Butter chicken naan didn’t have the same effect as eating butter chicken, would be good to see this on the menu as it is a bit limited. The tandoori was good though and cooked. Everything else I would say was ok.

Great place with outstanding chicken and lamb from the Tandor. Fries and Dahl were also very good.

Superb Indian food in a warm, welcoming environment! The owner and his daughter took clear pride in their work; we did the sampling menu so got to try an assortment of dishes that were all explained to us in detail as they were served. Really looking forward to returning here again.

This place was the best. I’m not an Indian food lover but I must admit that this place knows what they are doing. The onion rings, chicken, lamb, naan and bah was amazing. The service was fast and accurate. To see the cooks/chiefs in action is always a plus. They know their food. Highly recommended.

Brilliant food! Recommend getting the lamb chops!

INCREDIBLE TANDOOR CHICKEN. oh my god i was licking the scraps! naan is amazing too! the service was great the staff was very attentive. nice dim lighting, i loved it.

Cerca de Covent Garden este restaurante indio pequeño, pero muy agradable. Acogedor, buen personal y sobre todo deliciosa comida. Buen sabor, buena variedad, algunas buenas cervezas y una pequeña carta de vinos. Sin duda una buena opción, volveremos.

Amazing meal! We pretty much ordered one of everything, special mention for the bone marrow naan, black daal & masala rib eye. Wasn’t a huge fan of the chaat and their version of an onion bhaji just tasted of oil, but overall a very nice meal!

Loved the ambience, watching the open kitchen with tandoor with a British classic pub feel. The honey honey chicken with pickled onions was full of flavour. Tangy, sweet, sour and a hint of spice. The butter chicken sauce was sweet and creamy however, could have had more body to it. The naan was loaded with butter and was unleavened but still soft. I would have preferred less butter. Would be back to try other things on the menu.

A great place, good food and service. Watching the chefs cook was brilliant, especially the talented Naan making chef!

Yummy! We were there at the end of September 2024, the rib-eye steak was incredibly tender and well seasoned. The spicy chicken dish was also great. Don't be confused, everything looks "grilled for a bit", but it's all perfect. A variety of naan breads are also a specialty there (unfortunately not gluten-free). But be sure to reserve.

Came here with my wife and two young children. Very welcoming restaurant, very playful with the children, and the food was FANTASTIC!

Consistently great food and great service. Creative and well executed British Indian food with excellent vegetarian and vegan options.

Love it here. The decor is lovely. You can see the kitchen & chefs working. Thank you to the team for squeezing us in. Best to book in advance but the team are accommodating. Food is delicious. Lamb cutlets cooked to perfection. Beautifully pink inside. The house chicken was delicious & tender. Definitely order the black daal. The food is full of flavour & a fun fusion between Indian & British cuisine.

Tasty food quick service and lovely staff

Amazing food came here from NeoTaste and did not disappoint! Hocine and diskha served me they were amazing !! 100/10 would recommend !!!!

Had their honey buttermilk chicken (heavy flavour wise but very tasty), had their bone marrow naan - HIGHLY recommend - with a side of buttermilk sauce. Delicious !

I really liked it. Service is a bit impersonal... reference is made to the small menu that can be accessed by telephone. Cozy with flair and great food.

Amazing food! Service was fabulous, especially Hocin 😊

Welcoming and smiling team for delicious cuisine... To do

Wow what an amazing place. The food was incredible with some great recommendations from the manager on what to try. He was also great fun and made the evening for us. It’s not your traditional Indian food but wow it was so flavoursome. Will definitely return here when we’re back in London

There were two of us there. The food was a dream, as was the selection. I love it when I can see the kitchen and here you look straight into it when you come in. The service was super nice, we felt very comfortable. We had the cauliflower, the paneer, naan and dal and everything was delicious.

Lovers of oriental flavors, we were captivated by the quality and flavor of the dishes. The view of the open kitchen is a plus. Nothing to say about the service.

The chicken tendori is excellent, like everything else on the menu. I highly recommend for a quick and quality meal.

Este restaurante tenía un buen ambiente y estaba muy ocupado la noche que visitamos. Nos dieron una buena mesa y nuestro camarero era muy agradable y eficiente. La comida llegó rápidamente y era muy sabroso. Sentí que las porciones podrían haber sido un poco más grandes por el precio. En general, muy agradable y probablemente volvería cuando vuelva a Londres.

Really tasty tandoori food. Well done.

An enjoyable meal. It was our first time at Tandoor Chop House and we were impressed with the food, very vibrant and very tasty. The staff were accommodating, too. The only thing is the music was so loud and they were playing pop songs. It didn't feel very authentic at all. It would have been nice to listen to music which felt more authentic with the food. I would recommend for the quality of the food!

The food and service were great.

Phenomenal food, excellent wine and staff were on point. A must for anyone visiting the Strand.

I wonder why there seems to be no curry to choose during dinner. Waiter took the plate and sauce too early

I recently dined at Tandoor Indian Restaurant and had an incredible experience. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked. The service was equally impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, and accommodating, making sure everything was just right. One thing that really stood out was how quickly the food came out, which was a pleasant surprise. Even better, I was able to make a small change to my order with no hassle at all. The restaurant has a great atmosphere as well – warm, inviting, and perfect for a cozy meal. Overall, Tandoor is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys Indian cuisine. I highly recommend it!

Hosain was very friendly on arrival, food was delicious, we really enjoyed the experience and will be returning!

Great atmosphere, great dishes and a great waiter who advised us on lots of great things and who took the time with us. Honestly a great restaurant

Excellent !! 10/10 Very warm welcome, impeccable food quality.

Cosy, wood panelled dining room tucked away behind one of London's busiest attractions - this place is a real gem. We booked a table here via OpenTable because we were in the area, and meeting a friend for lunch. In my reservation I requested a high chair and when we turned up at the restaurant, sure enough one was waiting at our table. Courses were served quickly and staff were able to recommend dishes and answer questions. We were all very impressed with the level of service and quality of the food, considering the prices which are very affordable / reasonable, especially given the famous location.

A bit overpriced + the waiters didn’t react in any way to hearing us getting engaged the same day and ordering sparkling wine with the food

Refined Indian food, friendly and attentive staff

I love everything about this place!

Love love love this restaurant. Everything was delicious. Some stand outs was the cod and lamb chops for sure. And naan!!! The chicken Caesar salad was so delicious A perfect combination of sweet and seasoning. Dreaming about it.

Excellent food. Never had a duff meal here!

Group of six tackled three thalis. Delicious food at a good price - authentic Indian food. All meat dishes were good alongside the bread selection, paneer and black dal.

Very nice place to dine. Food was very good, staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very nice. Make sure you make a reservation to be on the safe side, it was quite busy the evening we went, so you may not have a spot. Absolutely recommended if you are in London!

Very good. Beautiful environment and very good service THANKS

Fantastic service and food. This is a must visit. Best lamb chops I’ve ever had 👌

Delicious unique food, highly recommend!

Inventive and delicious modern South Asian food. Lovely staff. Book, and don't be late... Rightly in demand. Perfect location for National Gallery.

Absolutely the most delicious Indian food we had in London. We went in at 3pm or so after many hours of touring after a friend recommended this place to us. Very happy we found it and went in. The lovely hostess recommended these dishes to us and every last bite was so flavorful and scrumptious. Highly recommend if you like Indian food flavors!

If you are reading this, then I highly recommend trying this restaurant!! It was so good we plan on going back at least once, if not more, before we depart London!! We had bhel, black daal, Amristsari lamb chops, Mamapen naan, and nimbu masala fries. Finger licking good!!

Been here a few times on Sunday for the Thali. It USED to be great. Last time we went the Thali had been replaced with a set menu “feast” costing more and containing mainly salads and cauliflower.

There was a delay getting our table, but the staff were good enough to offer us free drinks for the inconvenience. We went for the big feast. It was excellent with incredible flavours. Massive portions and good value considering how much we ate. I'd definitely recommend

What a supreme delight....wow. I don't think any other establishment I've been to including a fair few Michelin star/s restaurants can pull off such yummy naans like The Tandoor Chophouse. The seekh kebabs also top, kashmir side potatoes waahhh!!! I loved the butter chicken naan and chickpea chart....my only gripe is I didn't have enough room to try more delicious food. Excellent service and the food is the bomb 💣 👌 😋. Lovely history to the place and lively atmosphere....put it on your list and go there.

Went twice in 3 days because the Naan and black pepper tandoor chicken was so damn good.

The food was great, service was excellent and the atmosphere was perfect

Was truly an amazing mea! There was two of use and we did big feast. It was so much food but it was delicious. I'm dairy free and they accommodate to the best of their ability

We had a mighty Sunday thali at this place for a group of 4 people. The quantity was apt for us and it left some space for the dessert at Covent garden after. All the dishes are super tasty. Specially Butter chicken Naan, dal makhni & surprisingly Paneer Malai tikka. However, they gave grilled pineapple in dessert which is not a great Indian dessert option. For the price, they can do better on dessert.

Buscando algo un poco diferente. Gran comida, especialmente las chuletas de cordero. Ambiente agradable y personal amable sin duda recomendaría una visita. Sin duda volveremos la próxima vez en Londres

Gorgeous food, great atmosphere, lovely service and a beautiful setting.

Is it a 2 or is it a 3? Does it matter? I will let you decide Tandoor chop house Covent Garden is on a bit of forgotten real estate off Trafalgar Square. Not the nicest street scene. However, it’s smart and when you enter is remarkably refreshing from what you might expect of an Indian restaurant. Only downside was the booth tables are a little low and not huge legroom between them but overall a nice welcoming atmosphere. The team running front of house were really good. Polite and welcoming and genuinely interested in looking after you. The food tho was the challenge. Onion ring bhaji just too much onion dripping in fat. The seekh kebab roll though was excellent - lovely level of spice and just really good. We went for both the tandoor specials honey chicken & lamb Sali. Both were disappointing for me (my friend liked the lamb). The honey chicken just too sweet and sticky. The lamb I thought just a bit over cooked. Both could do with rice - particularly the chicken which I think would have helped balance the sweetness. Unfortunately rice isn’t available. The garlic naans were a bit too oily for me - fluffier would be better. However the black dhal was really good. This could be a good challenger to your classic Indian but only if the food is balanced better. Early days I hope. Will I go back? Possibly, I will check and see how the menu develops.

The tandoori chicken I ate in Korea was… It wasn't tandoori chicken. As soon as I ate the chicken here, I was impressed by how delicious it was. The service is also great. To the clerk who said he wanted to visit Korea someday, Korea will always be waiting for you :) I recommend it!

I’ve been in London 5 days, and I’ve had ok meals, good meals, but this was the first great meal. The whole tandoori fish was super delicious, dhal and naan were also terrific. Great service and friendly staff

Amazing food and excellent customer service 🥂 Loved the flavours and cocktails

Completely mid restaurant considering the price point

Best meal I’ve ever had in my life. This place should be rated higher in my opinion. Truly incredible food, service and atmosphere. A MUST!!! Get the lamb chops!

Went for the thali on Sunday. Was nice. But nothing special. I won't be back in a hurry.

The food was super tasty, I had the ribeye which was really tender and full of flavour. Masala fries and black daal were also delicious. Service was very good and food came quickly, would definitely recommend.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at the tandoor chophouse, a restaurant that served the most exquisite Indian dishes I've ever tasted. The hot honey chicken was a perfect blend of sweet heat, with tender, succulent meat that just melted in your mouth. The lamb shoulder was equally impressive—slow-cooked to perfection, it was incredibly flavourful, with spices that were both bold and beautifully balanced. The Peshwari naan was the perfect complement to these dishes. It was soft, warm, and wonderfully fragrant, with a subtle sweetness from the coconut and raisins that provided a delightful contrast to the savory dishes. Each bite was a harmonious blend of textures and flavours, making the entire meal an unforgettable experience. This is a place where the food isn't just cooked—it's crafted with love and an evident passion for flavour. I can't recommend it highly enough! Thankyou tandoor chophouse!

Die Speisen waren stark überwürzt und die Qualität des Fleisches lässt zu wünschen übrig. Das Servicepersonal lustlos und unfreundlich.

Fantastic tandoor oven cooking based style. A great fusion moment and a huge meat and veggie menu. Very cool and shabby chic interior. Good service. The chicken is brilliant and the black Dhal is a delight. Quirky, fun, delicious, and definitely worth a visit. My fourth booking and I will definitely be back for more.

We got the cheddar naan, butter chicken naan, hot honey chicken, and onion rings! Everything was delicous! The hot honey chicken was super yummy! Only thing missing was some rice to go with it

My girlfriend booked for her Birthday a week ago and the guys made all amazing with a good atmosphere! Unfortunately I don’t remember the name of the guys I know that one was a supervisor/AM and the server was a girl, short with black hair. Even the Moroccan guy in the kitchen Wa very friendly! Thank you so much for everything guys!

Very rich food, it's unlikely you will feel great the next day. It's also quite expensive. But if you like this sort of food you will enjoy it and the atmosphere is really good.

Delicious food, attentive quick service. Lovely decor. Highly recommend. The hot honey chicken was my favourite

I recently dined at an amazing British-Indian pub-style restaurant in London, and I can't praise it enough. The grills were superb, and vegetarians will be delighted by the wide range of options available. Every dish was exceptional, and the Lychee Martini was a standout. I was truly blown away by the quality of the food—I'm at a loss for words to express how much I loved it. I highly recommend this restaurant and would give it a 7-star rating if I could!

Fresh yummy food with amazing staff. Will come back again for sure.

Great experience for traveling through town

Good service, and the tandoori chicken are big, the taste is good,

Food was good. However the service was not. The bill already included a 12% service and nevertheless they charging me another 12% on top for service (58 GBP) Thank Got I noticed the extra charged and ask to get a full refund. The manager didn’t even appologized!

It is a must visit place for tandoor lovers We tried tandoori chicken which was juicy and nice, it comes with a green chutney which you can refill

The food was delicious and the decor is excellent; my favourite place. Gabby, the managress, really sets the standard for her team and she was simply fantastic.

Great food really. Was pleasantly surprised that from chicken to paneer to their potatoes all were so tasty. Definitely recommended!

Best Indian food I’ve ever had! Absolutely delicious, great service, good prices and better drinks. Do not miss!

The food in the picture is all delicious, except for the flower balls, which are less than normal

Love love the food (mighty thali, masala chai and kulfi) just love the whole experience
