Merstham Tandoori in Reigate and Banstead

Prompt service, pleasant staff, food was good, particularly my choice of panneer shashlik and sag aloo was good size portion and well cooked and presented, peshawari naan was sweet and tasty. Nice location for family get-together. Restaurant want busy which seems a shame as definitely good quality and value for money

Excellent place for a curry. Great food, especially the peshwari naan, and friendly staff. I now come with my friends every couple of weeks. Would recommend to all!

After a couple of delivery issues recently the restaurant made changes like double lidding the food - which worked- well done Mertsham Tandoori - will definitely continue to use you.

Ordered takeaway for delivery at 7:37.. phoned at 8 and told it was being packed up and sent for delivery. Still not arrived half an hour later. No answer on the phone. Drove to the restaurant to wait in a queue with others complaining of the same poor service. The food did arrive whilst I was waiting, but it was cold. At this point I could hear, on the phone, the driver shouting at my wife. I waited to complain to the staff. The manager/owner was incredibly rude, not apologetic for the exceptionally long wait and cold food and told me he was ‘too busy to talk to me’. I eventually left with a partial refund, did not eat until gone 9:30pm. Shocking that a manager/owner behaves in this way and that the driver thought shouting at a customer was acceptable. Have used them before for takeaway and eat in but will not do again, truly awful experience.

Good quality food, will definitely order again

Great food and always delivered on time. Will be ordering again soon.

Amazing food! Fresh and more meat than sauce which was amazing!

Amazing food. Ordered to Dorking and the food was just the right temperature. And so tasty. Prices are reasonable

We've never had a bad meal! My husband, Mr Russ and our family thoroughly enjoy our meals everytime we order! Top rate Indian meal with a great owner!

We use this place very regularly. The food is incredible, bringing our own wine makes it affordable. We absolutely love it! Would highly recommend the king prawn zafrani !!! Never been disappointed!

Food was barely warm and our drink was forgotten. Not sure if this was the restaurant or the delivery persons fault.

This was the first time I tried Merstham tandoori and it was the best curry I’ve had in a long long time, and the onion bhajis are the best I’ve ever had. Arrived quickly as well! A+!

We love our Indian food, and always have one on a Friday and this is our go too, always great food and excellent delivery and service!

Second time there has been bad spillage due to delivery - also portion sizes for main dish seem smaller - quality of food always good but will stop using if keep getting spillage!

We placed our order at 18:45 and received a delivery time slot of 19:35-19:55. Our order had not arrived by 20:10 so I called the restaurant for an update. I was told that our order had already left for delivery. The order finally arrived at 20:40, over an hour late. The driver said he'd been given 7 orders to deliver by the restaurant and apologised for how long that took him! Food was luke warm at best.

Sadly Disappointing. * Elements were good: vege samosa, chutneys, popadoms, mixed rice, egglantt side * Main dishes: Lamb and chicken were very tough. The lamb in particular. * Delivery: Advised a 30-40 min timeline. Turned up 110 mins post ordering. No expectation management/tracking so no idea if food was ever coming. Unhelpful.

Great food friendly staff, great value for money.

Great food, fast delivery, would recommend. Also

Amazing as ever, love this place!!

Excellent curry as always, my favourite in all of Redhill/Reigate/Merstham

Food is always hot and delicious. Delivery is often quicker than the predicted time., as it was last night. Can highly recommend Merstham Tandoori.

Food is exceptional, and the service is even better. Royston is a legend!

Good was exceptional. Very friendly staff and owners. Quality food at tremendous prices. BYO - coop across the road - sensibly priced. Highly recommend- my only regret is that it’s not in my village.

Celebrated my sons birthday with family in the restaurant, lovely food, best chicken balti I’ve tasted by far

I have no idea where my food is and the just eat app is saying that it has been delivered and it hasn’t arrived and my food is 30 minutes late

The best Indian I've ever had! The portion sizes were more than generous. The food was cooked perfectly. It's the most authentic Indian food I have ever experienced.

Ordered a garlic naan, got to say it’s the worst I’ve ever had. It was so thick I thought it was 3 in 1. Never again

The food was very bland unfortunately but the elderly man serving was shockingly rude seemed as if he hated being there.

love their food. absolutely delicious 😋

Burnt poppadoms and bland chicken

Our family has come here for decades but recently the food has been much better than a few years ago. It used to be too much oil and sauces tasted the same. But big improvement thanks so much

Amazing place with Rois the entertainer 😃. I’ve gone there with friends who’ve I’ve not seen for sometime and they drove from Billingshurst. Rois is a well known character and I guess that’s the reason people love his food and charisma to Merstham Tandoori. There is a car park at the rear of restaurant which is great . We’ve order King Prawns , Mushroom Biryani , Duck Bhuna , Tarka Dall with rice and nan bread and poppadums and chutneys as appetites. The food and service was excellent as usual by Rois and his amazing staff. The only thing is he doesn’t sell alcoholic drinks but has a great range of non alcoholic drinks on the menu. If you want alcohol, there is a Coop opposite where you can purchase and I think Rois allows you to drink with your meal ( please ask , as we’ve not had to drink any alcohol and there maybe a corkage charge ?) Overall our trip to the retail was great so recommend you make a visit if your in Redhill or Merstham for work or catch up , fir me it was work and catchup 🤣

Just had Tarka daal today ,daal look nice as they done tarka with butter , but after few bites ,feel daal was off not fresh and taste was sour , shame how can you serve food that not fresh and few days old . Never ever even chapaati or naan . Should complain to food authorities Its -☆☆☆☆☆ not plus

Friendly and efficient service, good food. No alcohol licence to BYOB.

Went here last night for a meal. It was wonderful, so tasty. Service was excellent. Didn't feel rushed in anyway. Was a lovely place to go to to finish off our trip to this area for a family occasion. Thank you. The Mitchells

Our favourite curry house in all of East Surrey (for take out).

This is not a licence restaurants, but BYO. Friendly staff. Food average, small portions.

The owner/ manager. So rude! It's locally to us, which is a shame because we won't be going back!!! The manager, takes our plates away when we haven't finished eating. When I said I haven't finish, he's saying something under his breath. Trying to get rid of us by turning lights off when though it's no way near closing. Been a few times because the foods nice, so such a shame for us.

Great food, just a very long delay in it arriving. I will order from here again tho

Consistently high quality food.

Great Dansak, nice and spicy. Garlic naan was lovely, could really taste and smell the garlic.

Wow, what a pleasant surprise this restaurant is. . The food was excellent, the portions were generous, and the bill was the lowest bill I've seen for sometime. We paid less than 25 a head and to be honest we went a bit over the top, you can probably eat for 20 or less here.

when the food arrived it was cold not sure if the driver got lost.

The chicken Madras had huge pieces of meat in that were tough -and not a nice taste. Had to throw away.

Have used a few times. Tonight’s meal wasn’t great. 2 chicken dishes, Chicken tough and dry.

Food was amazing. Good portion sizes and was freshly cooked and hot. Would recommend the butter chicken and the chicken tikka masala. We will be ordering from them again. 10/10.

Nice meal with free delivery. This is a nice restaurant which we have now used a number of times, with no delivery issues, despite being a few miles from them and with difficult access. Tandoori is real! and well presented.

Simply one of the best Indian takeaways. They consistently deliver superbly tasting food and it arrives promptly still warm. Highly recommend!

Delivered an hour after the expected time, food with sauce had leaked over literally everything, wrong naan bread delivered and no papadums. Food arrived cold and had to be heated

A great night celebrating a joint birthday, the food was so good - best curry I've had for a long time, first time visit but will be back. Staff friendly and attentive, a really good night - recommend the exotic garlic chicken, beautiful

Terrible meal. Chicken karahi had tough reheated tandoori meat added to a bland gloopy sauce. Tarka dhal was watery and flavourless. Chana masala was bitter and tomatoey. Rang to complain but could not get a refund, just next meal on the house, but we will not be risking ordering from here again. Really disappointing.

The service is excellent, with staff being lovely. Food is also consistently delicious and reasonable for the quality. 5/5

The lamb in the buns was tough and chewy

Really nice food friendly atmosphere bit pricey though

Food was so good. Will definitely be ordering there again

Amazing service and food. Always come with my family and it is always great! Staff are very welcoming and friendly

Very poor and the quality of food and meat is very poor. Lamb oh my god you can break your teeth and the style of cooking is not Indian food what so ever ..

Could of been warmer the food and more meat for what I paid for the food

The last 2 orders from here have been poor, will leave it a while before ordering again

Great starter but Chicken Tikka Biriyani was the worst ever tasted - just ate the chicken and some rice - no offer for discount or another meal either ! - sauce tasted of aniseed which is fennel and no curry in it at all - tasted better ready meal from Sainsburys ! - won't be returning any time soon - need training by chef at Taj Mahal in Addlestone which is the best !

Really tasty food, ordered a burger for my daughter and the curry got to us 1st

As always the best cuisine from India and Bangladesh.

The food was delivered late I had to call the restaurant and they said the driver left 45 mins ago and would see where he was an hour later the food arrived stone cold and was disgusting

Food & Delivery always excellent

Our first order, the food was hot and very tasty, thank you for the extras too, we will order again. 😊🙏

The food we ordered tasted really good. Everything arrived hot and in the timeframe given. Would recommend.

Food was very nice but bottle of drink was missing from order

Very nice food, fresh and tasty! Would recommend :)

Failed to deliver after 2 hours of waiting then pretended to be a laundrette absolutely disgusting behaviour and laughing from staff down the phone

Food is nice and tasty, well presented, delivered on time and still warm despite a couple of miles distance from the outlet. Has become our "go to" Curry place!

The food was so tasty! I’m so glad we ordered from them and will continue to order from them. The food was still hot and arrived earlier than estimated. Everything tasted great. They even gave us freebies which was a nice surprise. Couldn’t recommend them enough we will definitely order from here again

Great, would highly recommend!

The delivery was late, the food was cold and had to be reheated and it was very greasy, altogether unsatisfactory.

absolutely excellent service & food! :)

Tried some diffeent things this time. King Prawn Dhansak excellent! Chicken Tandoori still a little dry, unfortunately, but for the most part the meal was very nice, and thanks for the Popudoms! More menu to explore too..........Will order again!

Ordered loads to save for tomorrow nights’s dinner but 1/2 has gone in the bin. It was the most putrid, watery tasteless excuse of a curry that I’ve ever had the displeasure of. I will not be wasting my money there again.

First time used, nice food quality, and found the address easily despite some distance from the restaurant. One improvement would be a bit more description on the site for the dishes, which were nice quality. Will definitely use again!

Arrived 30mins late and food was cold a waste of money

Delivery driver was polite the food was excellent and good price. I will be back!

A pleasure to deal with , very enjoyable meal .

Great food as always. Will use again and again.

Food was excellent and tasty, the service was good and attentive. We will be back.

Fatty lamb. Really disappointing. Would not order again

Nice curry options and had an online ordering service. On of my faves

Reasonably good food but the place is a bit characterless and grumpy staff.

Merstham Tandoori is the best Curry Take Away Place / Restaurant in the area. I've actually moved further away since discovering this place, but still find it's worth the drive when I fancy a curry. Highly recommended! More people (myself included) need to dine in though. It would be a shame to reduce it to just a take away venue.

Engagement Party Delight - we live near Nutfield Road Merstham and even though there's a local Indian takeaway, the food has been a real let down (dry shish kebab, fatty chicken etc) and then we discovered Merstham Tandoori and after a few takeaways we decided to use them for our engagement party of 30 odd guests. The food turned up hot, on time, individually packaged so guests could take what they wanted, good quality without any shortcuts and we would use them again for such an occasion so thank you.

Merstham Tandoori always provide excellently prepared food. Really enjoyed our meal. thank you.

Absolutely delicious food. Great portions too. Our favourite Indian takeaway

Never buy Paratha.It was totally over burned which cannot be eaten Also Paratha tasted extremely sour

Never buy from here especially take aways... They serve rotten food

Foods always been great, never kept waiting for collection

Lovely food, clean and with friendly staff that had just the right amount of attentiveness - not intrusive but very aware and reactive - and definitely a restaurant I'd return to. I forgot to take pictures of the food, but I'll do that when I return.

Delivered slightly earlier than expected, which was a lovely surprise. Very good quality food. Delivery guy friendly. Very satisfied customers!

Both curries were very sweet, almost as if sugar was used instead of salt.

Very tasty meal. Couldn’t fault it at all. Large portions. Extremely cheerful delivery driver as well, who was slightly earlier than expected, which is always a bonus! Thank you. Would use again x

Good for just Biriyani, the rest was too sweet and nothing close to actually what the dishes tastes like….

The restaurant were accommodating when we requested to changed one curry from chicken to paneer. The food arrived on time, but was quite cold. The curries were very sweet and we couldn’t eat all of the sauce. We got a free poppadom.

I honestly don't do this, but I have to say this was one of the worst curries we've experienced in a long time. The Biryani was burnt...literally the meat was burnt and dry. The Medras had a terrible sauce, which I wanted to scrape off the chicken. Mushroom rice was okay, Saag Aloo was good, poppadoms too, and the starters were okay, but kinda basic. Buy, honestly, the mains were terrible.

Simple, it's the best restaurant and takeaway I've ever used. They have a great range of Bangladeshi dishes including the fish recipes traditionally eaten in that country. All of this alongside the range of meals found in other Indian and Tandoori restaurants. Outstanding!
