Caversham Tandoori in Reading

Please tell me one thing, who adds coconut to butter chicken - why would you do that to people?. Butter chicken tasted like a dessert with grounded coconut in it , had to throw away the whole thing.

Awesome curry, nice friendly owner. The food was beautiful. Will be back for more.

Love this place- have been getting takeaways here since 1990, and it's always great. Love the veggie versions of dishes they do ! You usually get a small discount if you go in to collect it yourself. Large portions as well !

10/10 food and fantastic friendly service!

Ordered a takeaway meal for 2 persons to be delivered at 7pm. The restaurant website offers 10 minute delivery intervals. The food was delivered at 6pm, before the other person was even in the house to eat it, so I sent it away. You can probably guess the rest - it was redelivered at 7.20pm. Fairly obvious why - didn't have anything else to go out for either side so they made me wait until the driver had 2 or 3 jobs to deliver to. Won't be using again. Which is a shame, really, because the food was actually quite good.

Thank you for a beautiful daal with fresh green chillies

For me, Caversham Tandoori is the best Indian take away in Reading. Having tried most of them over the years I would only use Caversham Tandoori now for take aways or deliveries. The food is amazing and always delicious. The delivery is very quick and the food is well priced compared to other take aways.

One of the worst curries I’ve ever had…chicken was so tough I could barely chew it

You guys have done so well . Hard to beat 👊🏻 Cracking food.

Great value for money , tasty food really enjoyed it

The food was perfect, ordered for the family. They were really quick on the delivery too. Would come back again and highly recommend it!

Absolutely amazing food. Would recommend coming back here. Service was great and efficient.

Tasty food and always friendly service

Raw onion Bhaji, very oily , no taste just chilli , worst curry ever. Tried for the first time . Never again .

amazing cuisine whole family absolutely loved it and at great prices as well, no where better in Reading.

Surly staff gave slow service. Food was bland and had no garlic, chilli or spices and herbs

Been going for years. Never had a better curry, be it takeaway or restaurant. 10/10

First time we have ordered from this takeaway. Ordered online but weirdly you then have to call them to pay so what’s the point of ordering online? You might as well order when you call them to pay. Anyway, called to pay and they had no record on my online order (even though the website confirmed an order time; 17.11) so I had to place the order verbally. They said they were busy and advised a delivery time of one hour. It arrived after one hour 15 minutes so that’s fine. It was all nice and hot and the various dishes we ordered were all okay; nothing special but perfectly acceptable.

Very disappointed, with all the good reviews it had we expected a good meal, our meals tasted reheated the onion barges were hard and not tasty and the rice was dried out. We won't go there again.

I have been coming to this take away for nearly 33 years. It's always been consistent and the food and service is top notch. I will highly recommend this place.

Awful had the worst food poisoning I've ever had never going back there it was really good until it was by the bina tandoori they have also increased prices way over top

I get very nervous trying new Indians but caversham tandooris is my absolute favourite! Not too greasy, great spice level, lamb in any of their dishes is too tender melt in the mouth! I'm working my way through the menu but my favourite has been having a masala daal in this bad weather and stuffed paratha 😍 the team seem so lovely and friendly!! Also for the price I think it's amazing!!

Onion basis were absolutely crisp and not dense inside. Spot on. Lamb in the lamb balti was melt in the mouth. Very enjoyable

The food arrived 2 hours late after multiple phone calls to ask where it was. Each time I was told it would be 2 minutes. I called 3 times, each time 30 minutes apart and kept being told the same thing. When it eventually arrived it was cold and the popadums were soggy. I wrote this review on their website and they decided to just delete it instead of addressing it. Avoid this place.

Ordered Chicken Tandoori. It was pathetic. I don’t know how it got so many positive ratings.

Food great. Nice helpful guy. Waited outside because of Covid. Lost a star as food wasn't ready when they said. No Vegan Naan.

Great food been going for years now. Service is excellent, friendly staff. Would highly recommend won’t be disappointed as is case with other places

Top quality food, polite, efficient & friendly staff, not had a better curry anywhere in reading starters amazing too.... highly recommend

This is the second time, I have orderd from this place the food was amazing with lots of rich flavour in the chicken tikka dansak. I will be using this place as my regular indian from now on. I will highly recommended this place to eveyeone. Thank you caversham tandoori for the excellent customer service and food during these hard times we are facing.

Consistently good and good value.

Love to have their food. I have had takeaway food. Good packaging. Being an Asian I can recommend their food to Brits as they are not too spicy to handle. We had a lot of dishes and were able to taste loads of flavours!

I really love this place. For the price, they offer generous portions and always provide complimentary extras. I usually get my takeaway delivered but sometimes collect it. Will keep coming back and I definitely recommend to others!

Great quality food and service. Best biryani in town.

Best Indian in the area so far, generous portions, tasty food, always putting poppadoms and chutney extra, great service and on time. Love it

I have used this Indian take away for many years!!!My family and myself have never been disappointed , it is always fresh, hot and definitely one of the best curries in Berkshire! The management and staff are extremely friendly and polite and I would definitely recommend to friends and family!

I had the best Indian take away ever from Caversham tandoori. They Really put love into there food and service you will not get a better place like it the chicken tikka balti and the chicken tikka mirchwala was fantastic with lots of rich flavours. lovely people good food cant wait to order from here again. I highly Recommended a million times over.

Ordered from them today and the food tasted great, everything came on time and freshly made. I would 100% recommend this takeaway place

I've been ordering from here for the past 20 years. Compliments to the chef Bosour. They are very professional especially the chap at the front. The food taste great and authentic. I hope to be ordering my weekly food from here soon.

what can I say about this place, I've been coming here for years and must say LOVE this place..love their food, customer service and love the menu..love the prices, whats there not to love. One the best Indian take away going. I highly recommend this place.

order from here all the time. The food is great and delivered quickly. Friendly delivery and always a smile.....

Llegamos a este lugar para una reunión. mi amigo recomendó este lugar. Bueno, fue todo un éxito. El personal nos recibió con una sonrisa y tuvimos una excelente sensación. La comida estuvo deliciosa. Nos encantó mucho este lugar y definitivamente volveremos. Recomendamos encarecidamente este lugar.

This was impressive. You can realize Tha taste, the flavors, the live in every dish.. Most take aways is about the chefs, and there ego is cooking. Here, the flavor, the food is tge star⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely amazing takeaway. Really recommend the onion bhaji (huge crispy balls!) and the king prawn dhansak - definitely my favourite dishes. Really good friendly service too. Best Indian in Reading!

Great food, never fails to disappoint. Ordered a few things from here. The biriyani is great, generous portion and is really nice. Has to be one of the best takeaways in Reading for Asian food. Highly recommend.

¡El chef aquí es el mejor en Reading! no, espera, ¡lo mejor de Berkshire! ! los sabores explotan en tu boca y te dejan con ganas de otro bocado. Llevo años viniendo aquí y nunca me decepcionan.Recomiendo especialmente el Achari o el Mirchwala. La forma en que cocinan estos 2 platos no se puede encontrar en ningún otro lugar.Aquí hay platos que llevan el nombre de las mujeres más poderosas de Bangladesh. Khaleda y Hasina. Ahora, si eso no le permitirá cruzar la puerta, ¡no sé qué lo hará!

No sé por dónde empezar. He estado buscando comida india para llevar durante los últimos meses en Reading, que pueda hacer comida india original sin comprometer la calidad y el precio. Me alegro de no haber pasado más por la idea de pensar en dónde ordenar. Excelente servicio que siempre pone a sus clientes primero y los chicos no se dejan engañar por el frente de la tienda, este lugar es definitivamente una joya en el área.

Excellent food. Excellent service. There was so much that we wanted to order from the menu that I would definitely go a second time to try some of the other stuff from caversham tandoori. Overall a very good take away . I Strongly recommended.

Great Indian take away, we’ve been their customers for many years. Their excellent food comes in big portion and the people that run this place are lovely. Many vegetarian options.

This is the best Indian takeaway I have ever had the food is so good and the service is excellent, the delivery guys are always so happy and polite.... deserves every star :)

You can't go wrong with this place, it is a must try. Every time I have been here they never seem to disappoint. Compliments to the chef!

Such yummy food! My biryani and aloo curry came nice and hot, having loads of flavour. The gent on the phone was friendly & very helpful. The best popadom sauce (mango) I’ve had! Would definitely recommend.

First time using this place. The food was excellent and customer service was brilliant. The best Indian take away in caversham.

This is by far the best takeaway in Reading for Indian food. Can't beat it!

Such yummy food! My biryani and aloo curry came nice and hot, having loads of flavour. The gent on the phone was friendly & very helpful. The best popadom sauce (mango) I’ve had! Would definitely recommend.

The nicest curry I’ve had in a long time.Fantastic. Great friendly service. The rice was nice and the nan bread fresh.

Ordered for the first time today, and I genuinely couldn’t fault the meal at all.Everything was piping hot, and tasted very authentic. Wasn’t the usual greasy Indian takeaway you’d get. Will definitely be ordering again. Thanks for the lovely meal!

Great quality food with amazing staff, would recommend to eat here

The food was great and the staff are friendly aswell as very kind welcoming people loved the biryani and omg the mint sauce those guys do are to die for I tell ya habit had a sauce that good in a long time everything was 10/10

Honestly the customer service is outstanding. my food came quick and it was still pipping hot. I would say this is one of my fav Indians in Reading by far!

The customer service was great, good communication, the food I received was fresh and nicely done, was done right on time. Would highly recommend eating here

Very fast service didn’t have to wait to long , excellent customer service staffs were very polite and excellent tasty food.

I have Ordered from this takeaway for years and the food and service is always outstanding!

I've been coming to this takeaway for a few years now and i honestly cannot fault it, the food is always amazing aswell as the customer service has never let me down!

Absolutely fantastic food, and the customer service is excellent . The vegan curries we had picked were some of the best ever tasted, and were definitely on a par with the ones we had on our travels around India last year. Couldn't have picked a better take away on our first visit to this area...if you are ever in the area, you must try it.

One of the best Indian take aways in the Berkshire area. I've been coming here for nearly 5 years now. The food is consistent and great excellent customer service.

Very good customer service and the gentle menat the front helped me pick a few dishes that he recommended. The food was 10/10. This will be my regular Indian from now on.

Caversham tandoori has never disappointed me it was always spot on with the taste and service I will definitely recommend this Indian cuisine to my friends and family this is a must try takeaway it will not disappoint you

The best curry we have had so far in Reading - by a long way.

Good food, friendly staff, Sunday buffet

I've just ordered from just eat. I'm in actual shock. I've never had a Indian so bad. I literally am in total shock. The yoghurt was off. Bitter and watery and off. Just no other words to describe. It was out of date. They served me that?! Heavily pregnant so that's dangerous. Awful. I ordered a prawn korma it was like water. And I'm not exaggerating I've ordered from every Indian going and I've never had one like this. The rice was hard and they sent me half of a popodom. Ok the popodom was free but they sent me half of one ? I dont understand. The food tasted so awful it was inedible. This is not an exaggeration. I don't know what happened tonight but I'm extremely upset that I wasted my money. I've literally had Tesco ready meal Indians that were better this is not an exaggeration. This was the worst of the worst. Sorry but I cant say anything other than that.

Timely delivery for collection. My family likes fried rice from this restaurant

Best takeaway in Reading! Go there every other week when I visit my parents. Love it!

Delivery on point, Driver very pleasent and kind. Food was very tasty, I would definitely recommend to family and friends

No tuve nada que quitar por un tiempo, de parte de Caversham tandoori, así que lo intenté una vez más. Para ser honesto la mayoría de los comentarios, son impredecibles.El pollo tandoori, estaba muy seco. La salsa de madras estaba bien, mi ajo nan, casi no tenía ajo. Tal vez un chef diferente esa noche.

Best curry house in caversham, hands down. Good quality and friendly staff.

El pollo dhansak era débil en sabor. Tandoori cordero tikka estaba seco, recocido. Pollo passanda fue el mejor plato de la noche, pero de nuevo el pollo estaba bastante seco. Tarka dhal era un sabor encantador, pero el dhal no estaba bien cocido y el plato estaba demasiado aguado. Un resultado decepcionante para un nuevo takeaway. Estaba bien en el mejor de todos. No volverá a usar hasta que se haya solucionado algo de consistencia. PROMEDIO.

We are quite new to the area and had tried two Indian takeaways before tonight...both were awful. So we tried Caversham Tandoori and were very impressed- much better than the others we had tried. The food was great and also really impressed with the delivery service. Didn’t have to wait too long at all despite the really heavy snow and treacherous roads! Thanks to the delivery driver!

Great food! Fast delivery! Friendly staff!

Has been my regular source of curry for years now. Food is always good, staff are always friendly. Highly recommended

Been using this place since before I can read. Family fave!

Very nice curry we both enjoyed, beautiful naan and poppadoms to dip in. Would recommend to all! :-)

Hemos tenido curry de Caversham Tandoori antes y nos sorprendió gratamente.Sin embargo, la última fue un poco decepcionante en antes. No ricos sabores, arroz frío contra físicamente hot curry arroz platos significa que probablemente fue pre-hechos y no calentado lo suficiente. Platos principales (curry de pollo Pollo Tikka Masala, y cordero con espinacas Jalfrezie) eran inusualmente sosa. Aunque el spice caliente como esperaba la Jalfrezie no tenía el sabor rico que estamos acostumbrados.En el lado positivo, el servicio era bueno, entrega inmediata y sin sorpresas, excepto un agradable de algunos poppadoms que estaban y salsas de la casa.Venga chicos, sabemos que se puede hacer mejor.

Llamó y pedimos una entrega y desde el principio hasta el final, eran amables, educados y serviciales. Bueno cuando llegó y dijo que aunque yo diría porciones bastante pequeño comparado a otros que era muy bonito.Nuevo!Gracias por una cena!

Have been ordering on a weekly basis for many years, never have experience any issues with the food or service. I highly recommend you to try them.

I tried this for the first time and i have to say i will be returning. Food & service was 10/10. I tried the lamb birynani. Perfect amount of spice and not oily. Definitely recommend.

Really nice place. Brought a biriani and I loved it. All the food is decent. Friends didn't complain. Recommend.

Very small, Bina tandoori is better customer service and looks better

has something gone wrong here...used the takeaway for fifteen plus years... ordered a family meal tonight just short of fifty pounds. .lamb rogan hardly any meat and what was there very poor quality ..and a chicken shashlik which turned up as a chick tandoori and totally burnt ..so somebody missed out !! good luck everyone but I couldn't risk this takeaway anymore. .😕 poor poor

So upset they got rid of the happy nights. Doubled the price n didn't double the quality. Maybe even lowered their quality.

You never no what to expect sometimes very nice, sometimes so bland and oily its just a waste of money. Bombay potatoes always very nice. I think depending who is working on the night = the quality of food.

Definitely the best Indian in Reading. Promised to deliver at 8, delivery guy was outside the house at 7.59pm. You should try the saag aloo!

The food is good but it's hit and miss if you get everything you ask for. On 3 different occasions we were missing something from our order, to be fair if you ring them up, they do bring out the missing items as soon as they can which is okay if you don't mind having your dinner in two sittings.

I have used the Caverham Tandoori for a couple of years and the food is always consistently good. The currys are packed with flavour and the meat is succulent. Overall the best Indian Takeway in Reading and they also deliver!

This is a takeaway and not a restaurant. I picked up a byriani for tea. Firstly I noticed it only has 4 hygiene stars and the decor was pretty faded and poorly furnished. The staff were miserable. The food was pretty poor quality in my view. The vegetable dish was swimming in oil. Not a pleasant first experience and I won't be going back. I usually go to the bina a couple of doors up on the same street. It's more expensive but the quality is what you should expect from a restaurant. Sorry but a disappointment

By far the best Indian in Reading.....wouldn't go anywhere else :)

Food was disappointing and service poor. The same sauce was used in all the dishes we ordered, some were vegetarian and other meat.

This was my first experience with this place and I can say that they have worst food you can imagine. I had ordered reshmi kebab,chicken korma and caversham special dish . Food was yucky and I threw everything in trash .real real bad.

We get take away from here at least once a fortnight. Best Indian food in Reading

I have always had a good take away from this place and would gladly recommend it to others. Price is higher than some other takeaways but so is the quality of the food and cooking so don't mind paying for it.

after reading so many positive reviews about this takeaway I decided to get a takeaway from here to see how good can it be. Although I have been living in Reading for many years I had never ordered food from here upto now and now I realise it was a good decision.
