Dhaka Tandoori in Waltham Forest

Food is fantastic (i had the tandoori mix grill) , needs some ambience

It is not very large so I recommend that you book. Prices were reasonable.

It is a gem in E17! Delicious food served on tables with white cloth and napkins. Efficient service, reasonable prices.

Excellent food at a reasonable price. Highly recommended

Visited several times,food and service has been great every time. Inside is a little cramped in places but has a great sheltered outside seating area.

Amazing service, lovely staff and great atmosphere. Refreshing to see an authentic Indian restaurant in the heart of Walthamstow. Could not fault anything. Thank you for the hospitality.

Surprisingly good restaurant! Delicious food, friendly and efficient staff. Easy 5 stars.

Had been before and had felt the food was good and good value for money HOWEVER, on this recent visit I was shocked at the quality of food and the service was poor. More than half the dishes came barely warm- all meat dishes were over cooked - rice, naan bread also served cold. Service was slow. I wished I'd read all the reviews before - as it really seems like its a 'roll the dice' experience at this restaurant. Would not eat here again. Was not worth the money and very poor food.

This is my favourite Indian Restaurant for over 20 years. I moved from the area 12 years ago and was driving by and decided to pop in. I wasn’t disappointed, the food is still amazing, yum, yum, yum!!!! I’ll defo be back again, a small resistant but great food, great atmosphere!

Lovely cosy restaurant with an authentic feel. Delicious food! Would recommend the rogan and Korai, as well as the butter chicken and chicken tikka curries. Absolutely fantastic service too. A gem.

Great food lots of good selection the best thing has to be the butter chicken. The prices are really reasonable, been coming here for all my life 100% would recommend.

Lovely food with lovely service. The vegetarian sides are great, especially the dhal masala. Absolutely recommended.

Best Indian I’ve had for a long time. Chilli salmon was superb!!! Great range of food for pescatarians/vegetarians/vegans.

Excellent atmosphere with a thoughtful menu. Good for business, family or dates. Willing to give you proper spice, not softened for the Brits.

Brilliant service good vale for money very help fulll service Staff had a very good attitude ………………………………………………………..

The food was good :five the service was quicker then usual There wasn't much of a vibe could be abit of an improvement . The collage student (waiter) jahzar was a very friendly block

OMG fantastic meal, old school too some I suppose but I had popadoms with pickles, Chicken Tikka Jalfrazi, Sag Aloo and pilau rice, impossible to improve upon To start…even the pickles were top notch then the mains…well, maybe I’ve eaten 100 Jalfrazi’s (I’m old!) but this was as good as any, as was the Aloo, perfect chilli hot as it should be….and was in the east end of the 70s and 80s….chicken moist and tender and big portions, I’m buzzing! Get there if you can. (Indian beer also btw!)

Cannot speak more highly about the service and food at this place. The server was lovely and very accommodating, the taste of the food was amazing, and was very reasonably priced. Would recommend to anyone

Dhaka tandoori is the best. Specially their food items such as chicken tikka masala, chicken Korma, pasanda are most delicious. Then their Service men all are well experienced.. As well as the cooker Mukit Ahmed is the best shape cooker.. His cooking always good. I love all of them and their food.. I will suggest to all go to Dhaka Tandoori and enjoy the best food items..

Regularly eat here and get takeaways. Reliable service and great curry.

Wow, very impressed with the food, we grabbed a take away for New Year’s Eve and it was incredible.

Eaten in and had a good experience before and was excited to order a delivery. Sadly the food was a bit underwhelming. All the curries tasted the same even though we ordered a lamb jalfrezi and a chick madras. Garlic nann bread was a bit flavourless and felt like it had been microwaved. The baji's were really greasy so that the bag was fully translucent. I'll not order again and a shame but probably put me off visiting the restaurant too for a while. A bit of a disappointing experience.

Usually the best curry in walthamstow, what I received tonight was just a box of red water with a few tiny bits of chicken, the chef obviously run out and added water to stretch it out. the guy on the phone would not deliver a new one, you lost a regular customer due to laziness

I like coming into this place but delivery is awful - each time we’re told an hour and it’s nearly two hours. End up eating so late and when call up there very unhelpful - a shame as it’s really nice when there but delivery service doesn’t work.

Hasn't let us down in over 30 years. Favourites are the Dhansaks and the Quorn & Butternut curry.

Absolutely awful. Terrible service. Over an hours wait for food. It came up cold and tepid. When I asked about the cold starter, he said it's because the plate is cold and the salad is cold. The korma was spicy. The bowl was hot, and the chicken tepid because the food was microwaved and not cooked fresh. On my way home, I was sick as I got off the bus. I brought up the stater as it was red. Once I got indoors, I was sick again, and the chicken came up. I only ate half the food as I was so hungry. I would not recommend.

The restaurant was not busy and I was with four friends who had arrived before me. There was over an hours wait for the food. The starters were ok except they were cold. I spoke to the server his response was the plate and salad is cold. The main course was very slow in coming. Korma is a mild chicken, theirs was spicy. The bowl was hot but the chicken and sauce were lukewarm. The rice was lukewarm too. Again I spoke with the server who made no comment. The Nan was hot but only half filled with meat. I asked for the service charge to be removed due to the slow service and cold and tepid food. He said I’ve worked here 20 years. The food was not fresh cooked just microwaved. I was so hungry I ate half the chicken and half the Nan. On the way home as I got off the bus I was sick bringing up the starter food as it was red. Once in doors I was really heavily sick bringing up the chicken. I would not recommend this establishment.

This place keeps calling my phone, despite never having been a customer; primarily due to living in Yorkshire and never having heard of the place!

Vi var de eneste i rastauranten, fik en mixed platte med 6 forskellige veltillavede gode retter.

After looking and trying different places with Indian cuisine I tried this one and my hopes were low but after trying and 6 different dishes I order I really enjoyed it. Lovely food, staff was very welcoming and helpful and double checked order with me to reassure that everything is 100% good. Waiting time was shorter than they told me and over all very pleasant experience, reasonable price and tasty food 👍👍👍 well done guys, keep up with good job

Really tasty food. They do a great veggie thali. Also really accommodating and friendly; I needed 4 paratha (nothing else) the other day they were happy to make them within 10 min for me to pick up. Much appreciated.

Loved the food! Small but good atmosphere and attentive service.

Excellent takeaway from Dhaka tonight. Everything hot and fresh, pathia particular highlight. Haven't eaten in there in a long time but will certainly do so soon.

Ate here on the 10/3/2023. Had a vegetable biriany. Amazing food, lovely wine, great service. Price very reasonable.

The food was very nice but chicken chilli was not spicy apart from this enjoyed it

My friends go here regularly and highly recommended. So I ordered a takeaway. Arrived 20 minutes earlier then expected. Such a friendly greeting at my door. Absolutely fabulous starter, assorted Indian hors d’oeuvres, I highly recommend. Then the keema Nan was the best I’ve ever tasted. Full of tasty meat. The chicken Korai was tender and so tasty. I will definitely be visiting the restaurant in the near future.

Very good chicken tandoori and really friendly people running it - I woke up hungover the next morning with a vague memory of agreeing to go to Bangladesh with them on holiday. Was boiling hot inside when we arrived, but they turned the heating off which was really kind. Cobra beer isn't really my beer of choice, but it actually worked quite well with the chicken tandoori. Would definitely visit again.

Used the garden option which is newly opened. Great food. Nice to be outside.

The best food for miles. Anyone looking for a restaurant you will love the dhaka

Excellent food, great veggie and vegan options

Tagged along to an invite to The Dhaka garden located in Walthamstow behind DhakaTandoori restaurant. We loved the Bengali inspired menu, ranging from shatkora chops to tamarind Naga wings and fuchka 😋 everything tasted sooo good, especially the bindi fries which was battered and deep fried 🤤 loved the outdoor atmosphere too, where they also allow you to order curry into the garden if you're feeling that.

Serving took a while, maybe due to food being cooked fresh ?? Taste was ok, prices good fer london, parking a nightmare.

Food is lovely but unfortunately they are TERRIBLE for delivery. The minute you order online you are told it will be 15 mins late but it actually arrives over 45 mins late if you’re lucky. It recently took 2 hours and 15 mins to arrive. We will not use again unless they bite the bullet and use Deliveroo or Just Eat.

Went to the newly opened Dhaka Garden in Walthamstow behind Dhaka Tandoori. It is In a warm and cosy covered area with a stunning menu with many Bangladeshi inspired food items. If your not feeling there garden menu you can order from there curry house menu to the garden. Deffo a spot to go back to!

Best Indian in Walthamstow, our go to for guest entertaining or a night in. Really tasty food and lovely staff. Highly recommend!

Used the garden option which is newly opened. Great food. Nice to be outside.

Quick takeaway, delicious, great price. Great vegetarian dishes.

Superb food and excellent service. Particularly enjoyed the whitebait and the house specials. Poppodums were lovely and fresh and all courses were piping hot when served

I like the food. Service is OK... But they either overcharged me or there was a hefty service charge. I think takeaway is a better experience.

Used to be one of the best curry places in E17 but the delivery is awful now. Been waiting for 2 hours for our food and still no sign of it. Won't be ordering again sadly

Great food. Customer service needs a bit of work. One guy is just a bit miserable for the front line work. The rest were very pleasant

This place is a Covid den. the tables are laid so close to each other that you could almost breath people's breath sitting at the surrounding tables. The restaurant staff decide where you sit and usually they put you very close to other people. The food was very disappointing too

Waited over 2 hours for our food!! The staff are VERY rude as the food is bland to say the least ! will never order here again avoid at all costs!!!

Food was lovely, service was not exactly friendly though!

Excellent meal last night at Dhaka. Food was delicious, service great. Can highly recommend the Bangla fish!!!

Hadn't been here for years having visited previously. Always had find memories of food being good. On the revisit I must say that the food was as good as I remember. Good work. 5/5.

Please avoid this restaurant- nothing I can say is positive about this restaurant. I have recently had surgery, every Friday evening myself and husband go out for a meal, we have been trying to find a nice comfortable regular restaurant to go to, my husband spotted this one a dew days ago and so we thought we would give it a try. From the moment we arrived the customer service was terrible, but me being me wanted to give them a chance. First of all We checked the menu and as I have just had surgery I am only eating very small portions, I explained this to the person taking the order, the response I got was unbelievable.. he started explaining that this is not allowed and I need to order a full main course min even tho we had ordered drinks, starter for two, my husband a full main course, all I wanted was rice and curry sauce, the guy started to explain this is not allowed due to the cost of linen, service, washing etc .. I was amazed, I explained that we ate ordering a main for my husband and tried to explain I can only eat little, but he was having none of it and said if you were on your own this would not be allowed. He eventually took the order but was not happy about it. The guy then came back to the table and just threw the knife, fork and a spoon on the table, 2 mins later came back and took the wine glasses off the table and again threw the napkins on the table. I have never ever had this level of poor customer service anywhere. We ordered 2x drinks, pineapple juice, beer, 2x starter, lamb and Tiger Prawns,1x main meal, for my main main I just wanted 1x rice and 1x curry sauce. We decided to leave after the starter and take the rest as a takeaway, as I felt so uncomfortable there. Total was just over £46 - we gave £50 and did not even receive the change, I told my husband to go and ask for this but he just wanted to leave. Very very rude staff, poor customer service and food is okay but not great. Seriously they need to improve in so many ways if want customers back to eat at the restaurant, I for one will not be recommending this place!!!

Really good little restaurant, very tasty chicken tikka dhansak.

The biryani is very bland. The staff were rude and not informed about the menu. When I asked them questions about the dishes they just say they do it their own way. Which is fine but doesn't give an indication if they make it traditional or not. The waiters continiously would speak to us across the resturant loudly rather then coming to our table and speaking to us normally. When our food came they brought us the wrong food. I did explain that some of the food isn't ours and they made a mistake. Wasn't sorry or anything about it. I think they were trying to charge us double. I had to force them to go check our order and only then did they go, which I shouldn't have to do as a customer. The Lemonade I ordered was also flat. I'm pretty sure they poured it from a bottle and charge double. Wouldn't go again as it wasn't worth it at all for the overall experince as they need to train their staff better.

AVOID!!! BE AWARE!!!!! STEALING DATA FROM YOUR CARD…. The most disgusting place you can ever get the food from as well as the staff are very rude and do not speak a word of English properly because they took card numbers more than three time and other details and apparently they were writing down on the piece of paper and not entering in the machine which could be tampered with. Also my card information could also be stolen by a member of staff to use for other sources and do fraud against my bank account which seems to be very unsafe to order from. Because I asked why they’re taking card details many time they declined the order and cancelled the whole order and wasted 15 minutes of my time trying to take the order. The worst people to deal with lucky I did not order I just looked at a few reviews which really put me off so please be aware before you make any order because very high-level off unprofessionalism will be placed against you. Please avoid this place at any cost and don’t even think of making any orders because of how they manage your data. Writing down my card information which is very sensitive which could be reach of GDPR regulations and be prosecuted by local authority so be aware of giving any of your details to them. The guy on the phone started getting rude soon as I asked why they taking details more than once and also I questioned if they are writing done my card details or not then the guys answer was that they know better than I do when myself work with FCA regulated products and services which is highly monitored and filtered with customers data

In spite of the fact I pre ordered my meal was an hour late, and to make matters worse the delivery man dumped my food on the floor of the communal hallway to lazy to climb two floors to my door making me come down bare foot to retrieve it, the food was cold and the meat tough, I did have an account on thier app needless to say I have deleted it, as there is plenty of good curry places in my area of Walthamstow, a very bad experience not to be repeated.

Even though I pre ordered during the afternoon my food was an hour late, to add to that the delivery man dumped my bag of food on the floor of the communal hallway, to lazy to walk two flights of stairs forcing me to come down bare foot for it, the food was cold and the meat tough, I had an account on there app which needless to say I have now removed, there is so much good competition for curry in the area I'm voting with my feet.

Ordered on line, waited 2 hours, called them to ask where our order was and they told me it would be at least another 30 minutes. Cancelled my order. Disaster. Would strongly recommend not ordering on line from these guys.

3 1/2 hours for the food to arrive. 2 times called up told 30 mins both times. Rude workers,, Won't be going back and don't advise it.

We had an excellent takeaway from Dhaka. By far the best place we’ve tried in Walthamstow. Chicken was tender, sauces were flavourful. It was good value compared to other places nearby. We ordered on their website and our order came exactly on time. 5 stars!

Customer service is terrible and food was not fresh, I tried their mix grill and it was terrible. However, their biryani was fine.

Customer service is terrible and food was not fresh, I tried their mix grill and it was terrible. However, their biryani was fine. Persian Biryani is excellent.

Really poor, don’t attempt takeaway. These guys give an estimated time and then keep adding to it. A 35 minute order has taken over two hours and the food when it arrived was cold. When called they kept saying it was ten minutes away. Avoid at all costs.

Lovely food but not sure if I am prepared to wait 2 hours for it. Their website says delivery 45 to 50 minutes which is about average for most deliveries. Was quite a large order no apologies when I phoned after waiting 1 hour 25 minutes was told my food would be sent soon then turned up another 35 minutes later not very hot.

Really great takeaway - Thankyou

Customer Service - zero :-( My wife and I prebooked for a table for two at this restaurant and upon arrival, we were told to wait for another 10mins for some other guests to leave. After being seated, we waited for another 10mins and observed as a new set of guests arrived, got seated and provided a menu before we were even considered. I had to go up to the bar area to request for a menu which should have been a no brainer and that turned up 5 mins later. After waiting 45mins or so the food arrived a good 20mins after the other guests received their meals. Overall, we were made to feel unwelcome and the cheek of it was that Service charge was applied to our bill when the service was very poor. Regret to say that this restaurant can forget about my business and future referrals. The staff clearly need Customer Service training and I cannot see them surviving much longer with this awful service experience in such a competitive restaurant market. I do not recommend this restaurant unless you are looking for a painful experience.

The food is tasty, the staff is friendly when you get to know them :). Highly recommended.

Visited on Monday at 6pm when they had just opened for the evening. Had a Chicken Tikka Masala with rice and a garlic nan. Very nice and had half the bill bill reduced thanks to the Eat Out to Help Out offer. The restaurant is small and cosy so it helps to book.

Some of the most wonderful salmon I have ever tasted! The whole restaurant was such a lovely vibe — really calm, quiet and clean — with very friendly service and the most tender salmon main with lovely classics of chicken tikka and onion bhaji for starters too. 10/10 recommend!

Esta fue una maravillosa experiencia de restaurante. Personal amable, tranquilo y limpio, con un servicio rápido. Me encantó el entrante clásico de cebolla bhaji y pollo tikka y luego mi salmón principal fue uno de los mejores salmones que he comido en mi vida; ¡se derretía en la boca y tenía mis sobras en cajas para llevar a casa! 10/10 lo recomendaría.

I have been in Dhaka Tandoori Walthamstow many times and never been let down by their freshly prepared, delicious food! The portions are generous, flavours are full and food is always fresh. Whenever I have guests from abroad visiting me, I offer them this type of kitchen and food was never disappointing. Rich flavours, nice and professional service, decent prices, place is always spotlessly clean and table clothes immaculately white and ironed. This is authentic Bengali and indian kitchen. Genuine place run from 40 or more years by same owners. Thank you for amazing service and food in Dhaka Tandoori and see you again!!!

Open for takeaway. Great food. Mutton Balti was very good and Vindaloo curry was very spicy and quite tasty.

Glad the Dhaka have opened now for takeaways

We no longer go there. On two occasions the nan bread wasn't cooked ! When I pointed this out to them and demonstrated by stretching the dampish dough they were very sulky. No apology. Took ages to get another (which they insisted on) by which time we'd virtually finished eating our meal. They still charged for the nan, despite the inconvenience caused! On.anothercasion, the tandoori chicken wasn't cooked through! Once again they were sulky when this was pointed out.

Great little curry house. Nice menu tasty food good selection

Persian biryani was excellent, it’s a good portion and fresh cooked. I would recommend go there and eat because I like hot food.

Good choice and great prices. Always a good night out.

It's ok. I don't really stray from poppadoms, keema nan, prawn korma and rice. So a bench mark for me. Nothing really hit the spot. It was very busy early on, it was valentine's night after all, so service was slow, a little erratic - but they shouldn't have been 'caught out' by a surprisingly popular night for dinner! Anyways, not rushing back. Meal for 2, couple of beers, plus tip £40.00.

Was really good. Nice taste. Very good. Only thing is the cost was a bit high, could understand it's London but yea, slightly a bit high. But good food.l and nice treatment. Very happy about today's dinner here.

Comida demasiado condimentada sin sabor, pero si haces un comentario, te traen la factura de una manera que te diga que vayasNo tienen idea de cómo recibir retroalimentación si no es de su agrado, solo puede irseLo tienen tan mal

Fantastic food and great service. We're veggies but they always please. Everyone in there obviously loves it too. They overcharged tonight but were very apologetic and reissued the bill.

Great flavour and portions. Service is slightly slow and could be sometimes a bit frustrating, but the food is worth it

What a gem of an Indian in Walthamstow. Food and service great. Packed on a Saturday which is always a good sign. Will be back

Haven't been to this place for over 10 years, but glad we came back. Food was very tasty and good portion sizes. Small restaurant with friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Chocolate and hot towels after the meals was a nice touch.

Venue is well put together and inviting. The service was exceptional; the waiter was personable and helpful and advised on the menu. The food was served after a perfectly reasonable wait, and was delicious. The house specials come highly recommended.

Staff rude. Website encourages to order via their app. Did this then app notifies of big delay to food but says call restaurant if you want to cancel. Called restaurant - deny any ability to deal with app. So staff member denied me a refund which seems illegal. No apology. Avoid like the plague and take your money elsewhere

Personal grosero. El sitio web alienta a ordenar a través de su aplicación. Entonces, esta aplicación notifica un gran retraso en la comida, pero dice que llame al restaurante si desea cancelar. Restaurante llamado: niega cualquier posibilidad de tratar con la aplicación. Entonces un miembro del personal me negó un reembolso que parece ilegal. Sin disculpas Evita como la peste y lleva tu dinero a otra parte

Nice small quick service good atmosphere

Decent food but staff need to address their attitudes. Takeaway orders are prioritised over seated customers, leading to long waits. The waiter and manager were rude and defensive - they need to staff up or stop answering takeaway calls if they're at capacity.

Food was nice, air conditioned (very nice to get out of the heat!). But did wait over an hour for our meal even though there was only another couple in the restaurant. I guess they priorised making the takeaway meals that evening!

Food is great, staff is not so polite

Good ambience but very slow service. Food ok. Not that good but not bad either.

The food is tasty, and they were very accommodating when I wanted food delivered out of hours for a family get together on a Sunday.

Si está buscando un menú sólido a un precio razonable con los clásicos platos indios, no se sentirá decepcionado. Si bien no me quedé impresionado con la comida, todavía era muy buena, y el servicio estaba bien.Es un restaurante muy típico de la India, pero es bastante pintoresco y lo suficientemente bueno.

Han sido clientes leales desde que se mudaron a Walthamstow. Lamentablemente, esta noche me decepcionó muchísimo. Pedí una comida para llevar en una hora. No llegó. Le pregunté dónde estaba. El hombre que hablaba por teléfono era muy grosero y dijo que no había pasado una hora (que había terminado). Dijo que sería otra media hora. Una hora más lo escuché en el fondo, comprobando dónde estaba, ni siquiera había empezado a cocinarlo. Se rechazó un reembolso y ahora sigue esperando la comida.
