Mahatma Tandoori in Greenwich

Dreadful. In all honesty the worst Indian I’ve ever had. Staff rude Take a dump on a plate it’d be better in taste and appearance

Can’t believe it’s been about 25 years since we used to visit this restaurant weekly (my parents moved quite a way away so our routine and area changed) I had poppadom, prawn purée pilau rice and Chicken Shashlik it cost me about £20 so I thought that was a very good price. Really tasty great value for money very friendly staff atmosphere is lovely and I have got to say I’ll definitely be going back 🙏

Dreadful, I see him picking his nose and eating it. Dirty dirty dirty disgusting waiter. Nope never again

The staff were very accommodating, warning me beforehand to book for an evening. When we arrived, we were quickly shown to a table, as it was early. When the restaurant became busier, another waiter appeared so service did not slow down!

You cannot buy better food either take out or eat in at this restaurant fantastic staff and top quality food

Good Indian food, friendly staff, established 40 years ago. Have used this restaurant for many years

Good food good service will be back

Excellent Indian always come here Never had a bad meal Great food and service Nice cold cobra But did use get a free drink at the end

Had to wait quite a while for our food to be served but worth the wait as delicious. Can get quite loud on a Saturday evening if full. Good value for money

Really good food, good size portions and reasonable prices, definitely going back

The food was great, atmosphere was good.

Wow!! What a night. I got taken to this restaurant months ago by a friend and thought it was great. Food was fantastic, service pretty good. I went with a friend tonight and it was an absolute joke. I will start by saying the food was amazing, however the staff not so. We arrive at 9.15pm, wasn’t allowed to order a starter because they shut at 10pm. We ordered our main meal, but constantly got reminded that we need to be done by 10pm. The food came out, and it was great but at 10.15 was basically told to finish our drinks outside because they needed to close. I will visit again , but only to abuse the very rude waiter that served us . I look forward to seeing you again very soon, you extremely rude Indian chap 😉

Good Service by the people and we liked the food a lot Thank you team Mahathma for the great service

A very good example of great tasting Indian food. I found this restaurant about a year ago and have used it ever since. The restaurant owner has been there since the 80’s! I had a chat with him one evening whilst waiting for my takeout. Proper old school decor - but nice really, The food itself is just really very tasty, each time we’ve ordered from there it has been the same, consistent, good food full of flavour. Not often I add reviews, but this one is worth the chatter!

We are regulars at Mahathma Tandoori, takeaways and eating in. The staff are always courteous. We miss the cloth napkins, which used to be a nice touch. The price is spot on, not the cheapest, but reasonable. The atmosphere is determined by other patrons, so never the same. Our only concern is that even when we chose a 3 chillies dish it was bland (lacking in flavour) and the portion of the cauliflower bhaji was half the size of the aloo gobi (as if the potatoes were just removed from an aloo gobi side dish but still the same price). Unfortunately just an okay (slightly below average) experience, a shame as we have been coming here for absolutely years.

Fabulous food. Great atmosphere and brilliant service. Highly recommended

Fantastic value and whole family enjoyed

Visit here regularly for years, food,service excellent and great price, clean restaurant no rushing you to eat up and leave

Came here for a curry with friends one Friday evening. It’s a traditional family run curry house. There’s lots of selection and the prices were very reasonable. We all had a good meal and a few beers

Best authentic tandoori! Fantastic food, good prices and great service.

Great food and service! Very welcoming and attentive staff. Food is good quality and very reasonably priced. Take away is available at 10% discount to eat in prices. Plenty of parking outside. Best to book in advance for weekends.

Booked here for a Saturday night dine-in. Lived in the area for years but never visited here Firstly, booking was a must!! Place was very busy, always a good sign! Service was quite slow but not sure if they were a staff member down. When the food did arrive it was absolutely delicious and well worth the wait. I had a lamb madras, the lamb was so soft and tender, very tasty!! Other half has a Dhansak which was outstanding. Mushroom rice served with both was also great. We had a great meal with some of the best Indian restaurant food I’ve had. There’s a reason this place has been here for so long!!

Worst restaurant of all times. Very horrible staff. Didn’t like anything here. It’s a scam restaurant.

Very nice takeaway. Chicken in the curry's was tender and nice. First time trying would definitely come back!

Never had a bad meal, excellent

We booked a table last minute and we were able to secure a booking for dinner. It was extremely busy. Poor staff were run off their feet and occupied by a steady stream of customers who had booked takeaway meals. Unfortunately, it did effect our service as it was quite a while before we were offered a drink, and even longer for our order. But the food was nice when it finally came and it didn't spoil our experience. Would I dine in again? Probably not, but I might get a takeaway!

Nice local Indian resraurant. Traditional decor, all your favorites on the menu. Very good value for money. We went with a group of friends during the heatwave and it was very warm inside as the air-con either wasn't on or wasnt working, but it wasn't unbearable and everyone enjoyed their meal.

Lovely little restaurant, tasty food and great service, the young man helped my wife choose her main because there was soo much to choose from, great choice. Happy wife, happy life! Only thing the wine list needs an update, a lot more wines out there, old school list But will be back!

Excellent place to dine with family & friends. The food is above par with friendly staff, would recommend dining in over takeout if you have time. Extremely busy, make sure that you pre book your table

Food is amazing here, and the times I've gone the atmosphere has been really pleasant, the staff don't hang around staring at you but are within easy reach if you need anything. Some of my group have some allergies and the staff and chefs here will go out of their way to help which is lovely. Prices are actually good from my experience but I stick to pints of coke which is never cheap in any shop ever. Food prices are decent and I've never left feeling like I've spent more than I gained if that makes sense so very happy here too. Overall definitely somewhere I will (and have) come back to time and time again.

Go here its great, i can not rate it highly enough, the service is top class, the food is fantastic . Simple, you want a curry, go to Mahatma Tandoori.

By far the worst Indian experience I’ve ever had after entering the EMPTY Restaurant Was given a takeaway menu Then given plastic take away tubs for our dips/ starters So questioned this with Waiter Even he agreed They saving on washing up What a joke or a place! Then given two flat pints Ask to change the waiter then sticks his finger in beer Swirled it around in the glass Telling me it’s not flat Even tho he don’t drink!!! Told me it’s not flat and refused to change At this point we walked out And Was asked to pay £5 for the privilege Very rude Very uncomfortable experience Vile Avoid!!!!!!!

Old fashioned place and decor but good old traditional food. Limited drinks menu. Not expensive at all

Amazing food! Can always rely on this indian restaurant for a fantastic, tasty meal. The staff are great every single time without fail and cater to your needs. 100% recommend.

U fortunately, after lockdown was eased,the normal Sunday buffet was not reinstated,but the a la carter meal was nice and not too pricey.Although it was quite busy the second time I went,service was good. I was even offered a complimentary drink the second time!

Local and friendly atmosphere, food great, staff great 👍🏾

They’re doing the eat in for half price & we turned up without a booking but they squeezed us in !! Fantastic service, great food ,cold lager & excellent value - can’t ask for more !!

We have been going to the Mahatma for over 25 years and it is always our go to restaurant. Authentic Asian cuisine , brilliant friendly staff, nice atmosphere, reasonably priced. It ticks all our boxes. There is no silly gimmicky dishes , no crass overdone decor, it's the place to go for a tasty Indian meal with family and friends.

Just had a very tasteless meal, not the usual standard. Onion Barjee very hard, Chicken Tikka Marsala very watery, chicken korma tasteless and so were the Bombay potatoes.

Buen valor para el dinero. Difícil de superar el precio del buffet.La mayoría del personal es amable, a excepción de un camarero que lleva años allí.La decoración es un poco anticuada, pero los muebles son muy cómodos. Los precios de las bebidas son razonables. Solía recibir una bebida gratis con pedidos para llevar, pero lamentablemente lo han detenido en el último año. La comida para llevar puede ser impredecible. A uno de los chefs parece gustarle ahogar la comida en aceite.

Usual popular Indian dishes. Excellent service and food at a reasonable price. Mainly use it for take away which is cooked to order. Not aware of delivery service though.

Food was good and they remembered that I have an food allergy good service polite and professional lovely relaxing eve out

Very rude staff, hung up on me when I called up to order. Finally got through and was told they didn’t have a table for the buffet until 10pm. I drove there and the place was empty. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

Best Curry House ever, top rate food and service too.

Been visiting here for years it's always lovely, tasty food, great value for money (especially the buffet) lovely staff and nice ambience. Highly recommend it for a good local curry.

Great food. Great service. Exceptional value too. We are never disappointed.

This is a very good takeaway restaurant. In the week the food is better than at the weekend. The service is very fast and the food has always arrived hot. All the items ordered have always arrived. Telephone manner is very good also.

Fui y cené esta noche, ya que he comido desde aquí antes y es realmente agradable. El curry de vegetales que recibí estaba absolutamente nadando con aceite y simplemente no tenía la consistencia adecuada para un curry de vegetales. No lo comí pero comí el resto de la comida y fue bueno.

Good place to go to get a bad throat

lovely food friendly staff nice atmosphere this is one of my family is locals

After a meal with a friend Tonight we were disappointed with the service, i have lived in Avery Hill for 50yrs, we decided to try a sit down meal instead of a take away but the waiters were so miserable and made us feel very uncomfortable, not a smile in sight, took our curry sauce away while we were still eating. very noisy and far too small to have a help yourself behind the chairs making customers very HOT from the steam from food. They didn't even acknowledge we were leaving. Won't be back.

I have used this restaurant for over 30 years. The same owners, the same outstanding quality of food. The prices are ridiculously cheap by comparison. A decent curry is getting harder to find but look no further than this place.

Great Indian food very good value for money

The most traditional Curry and tandoori dishes you could eat we go there many times and they achieve perfection every time and great value for money .

Delcious food. Always used to go here as loved the food. We returned after 4 years as now moved away from the area but found it as tasty as it has always been. Very good value for money, would still recommend.

Delicious food as always and excellent value for money. Returned after 4 years as now moved away from the area but still found very tasty. Will always recommend.

I have been eating at mahatmas for about 15 years now and I can honestly say you will not find a better Indian restaurant the food is exceptional all of the staff are welcoming and friendly ..... I would definitely recommend 👍👍👍

Wonderful food, large portions, and very reasonable priced. 8 of us, and no complaints at all. Friendly service, will go again shortly. Ample room, did not book.

Buen restaurante.La comida es muy buena, 4 de nosotros tuvimos el buffet (se trata de nuestra 4ª visita durante el último año) y era muy sabroso, caliente y justo.Come todo lo que quieras, sírvete tú mismo. Un excelente precio también. . . no romper el banco para una comida decente.Un buen lugar para reunirse y charlar con una comida india tranquila.

Great restaurant excellent service and price. We love it.

Nice staff and good and well priced food. Only downside was the music they played. I rather have no music than repetitive royalty free 'music'

Been coming to this restaurant since 2008.. tried may others but this Indian is good honest food for the price, no airs or graces but a good traditional Indian restaurant

El camarero fue extremadamente grosero conmigo y mi amigo a pesar de venir varias veces. El servicio es muy malo, la comida es cara por el precio que tiene que pagar. El camarero con una gran espalda ama lamer la parte trasera de la gente blanca, es su hobby. Sin embargo, si eres de color, te tratará muy mal. ¿El camarero necesita sacarse la nariz? de la parte trasera de la gente blanca, trata a todos por igual. Por favor evita mucho mejor comida india a 5 millas de distancia.

The food was amazing, and the prices are good, but the place was really hot, but everything else was excellent

Este restaurante me lo recomendó mi hijo que viaja desde Blackfen para llevar aquí es el único restaurante que usará. no nos decepcionó la buena comida, han pasado años desde que tuve un curry de esa calidad,. Teníamos pollo Korma, pollo Rogan Palau arroz y una niñera cocinado a la perfección bien vale la pena una visita. .

Glasses were dirty and had bits in. The food was okay although the naan and bajis were least fresh I have had at a curry house since I can remember. Very bad service and extremely rude waiters, although they were seemed strangely nicer to other customers in the restaurant. Waiters routinely stared at us and our food while stood still with nothing else to do, gossiped and traded smirks between each other. Unpleasant dining experience, would not recommend.

He estado aquí muchas veces con mi familia. El personal es siempre amable y educado. Soy vegetariano y tengo el vegetal, chana balti marsala, pan Naan y arroz y siempre estoy muy contenta con la comida que reciben. Lo sabe muy bien y tiene una buena relación calidad-precio. Si estás en las inmediaciones y algunas buenas curry, este es el lugar para ir!

Been going to the Mahatma for 20 + years and the quality of food is still excellent.

Friendly staff, plenty of room off peak. Food as good as anywhere and not to expensive. Comfortable and the tables are pushed together for larger parties.

Very well priced and food has always been good. Occasionally been given a complimentary beer on collection of my curry. Very quaint and traditional inside.

The staff here need to be sent on a course to learn how to serve customers, they are not polite or attentive,the restaurant needs a total revamp,tired and grubby.The food is actually quite good & seasoned, but can be greasy at times.

Food is not great. And they have twice as many waiters as seats, which can be creepy at times.

Popped in for buffet and loved it. Always good here eatin or take away. Buffet had enough range to keep your tongue tingling.

I have been coming to this restaurant for 20 years+ with my family and the service and food is always good. It has the best onion bhajis!!!

Good food and service, not over joyed with buffet a bit hot and spicy . Service good menu better food from menu then buffet t

Después de haber visitado el buffett había falta y estaba tibia. Tuvimos que pedir más comida salida y llegó en dribs y drabs. Refrescos de una botella y plana. He estado enfermo durante 4 días ya no ha sido capaz de comer. Nunca volveremos de nuevo

Ordered for a family (takeaway) Asked for tikka starter plain with no spice for our baby which was no problem for them. Very reasonably priced and food was lovely. Will be ordering again.

Location is not the best but food is excellent and we go here to eat. If we want to be in and out in 40 mins and know we will be very satisfied we go here. Takes a lot of beating for quality versus price...

I went to this restaurant with my wife and my parents, the food was actually good but the fat waiter had an attitude problem, me and my wife finished our starter and the old plank of a waiter, just chucked down a clean set of knives and forks without placing them in front of us nicely, one word for this is "appalling" I was actually livid with this, if it wasn't for the fact I was with my parents, then I would have lost the plot, and also to add they tried to stitch me up for a pint of carlsberg I never even had.... I'm not a happy bunny it ruined our evening.

Rude staff, when there with my wife kids and brother. The waiter recommend us to get a take away as he did not want to dirty the table cloth😡😡😡😡 his exact words

food was excellent, best curry ever! definitely recommend it, for price and taste no doubt about it, a good experience.

When getting a take-away or eating in at the restaurant mahatma never disappoint. Service and food are great. You won't find better in the area. Highly recommended!

Amigos y familia jurar -- siempre buena comida, bien cocinadas y muchas opciones diferentes de lo que se suele ver en restaurantes indios. Y todo a un buen precio. Totalmente recomendado.

food was tasteless and the staff were not friendly, we went to celebrate our daughters birthday and because one of the staff was grumpy it spolt it for us

Have lived locally to Mahatma for 19 years and have been eating there for as long. It's appeal for me is that it hasn't changed much, love the old style decor & service. Food is always excellent & good value. Can get busy at the weekend so booking advisable

This is the nearest Indian Restaurant to my home - and in a way I am loathe to let everyone know how good it is in case it gets difficult to get a table.We went for a Thursday night buffet.It is a very relaxed atmosphere one of the 'old school' Indian Restaurants,in terms of décor - making for a cosy atmosphereVery good value for money - not at all over priced. The buffet is plentiful if you opt for that but other items on menu equally goodSeating very comfortable - parking usually bang outside.Ours was a 'low key' celebration and it ticked all the boxes.

I took my family and we had a great meal we had a variety of dishes and they were all enjoyable, this is an old-fashioned Indian restaurant in the best sense of the word and the bill for six of us, including drinks, came to less than £80, this was excellent value and the adults were given complimentary brandy or baileys and after dinner mints.

This restaurant offers excellent food, excellent value, and exceptional service. It's tucked away in a parade of shops with free parking across from Avery Hill park. You'll get a warm welcome and you'll be surprised at the good food and exceptional value for money. Lovely family restaurant.

I have eaten at Mahatma several times and there is always a welcome and friendly atmosphere. The décor is a little old fashioned but reminds me of many curry houses I've visited over the years. The food was exceptional, all dishes very tasty and the service excellent. I had chicken tikka masala and it was outstanding, my son had tandoori butter chicken and really enjoyed it. At the end of the meal I was given a free whisky. If you like a traditional curry then I wholeheartedly recommend this to you.

A very good restaurant serving good quality food. The pricing is extremly good with great value for money. The staff are friendly and helpful.

dhansak is lovely but if you have a birianni or a curry its not hot at all and not much taste the price is excellent and they give you an orange to cleanse you palette and a complimentary drink when you pay, the restaurant is a bit dated but very clean

I live very close to this restaurant and order a take away at least every month (they even recognise my voice on the phone) and eat there every two. Ideal menu for both new to Indian food and the more experienced. Exceptional value eat as much as you like buffet menu which changes on certain days. A good local curry house, booking advised Fridays and Saturdays.

Extremely affordable with generally good food and service. The look of the resteraunt is nice although the decor is slightly dated. On the whole it is a nice resteraunt and is excellent value for money!

Rather dated decor but homely. Friendly service but not intrusive. Good value. Usual Indian menu nothing out of the ordinary. Msybe not for a very special occasion but great if you can't be bothered to cook on a Wednesday. Easy to park. They usually offer a free digestif drink after meal. Eg brandy or baileys I feel comfy there. You don't have to dress up! Rarely busy but msybe book Saturday evening.
