Sonali Tandoori in Lewisham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Scheduled an order for 8pm at 7pm and it didn’t show up until 8.50, despite calling twice and only living 10 minutes away. The food was poor, a layer of oil on every curry and they all just tasted of sugar. Very disappointing and have received no money back for the order being late. Don’t order from here!

Do not be put off by it's small and dingy premises - this place is by far the best Indian in the area. Great flavours, plentiful vegan menu with mock meats and authentic level of spice. Nice service. Very impressed that they have a vegan section on the menu with lovely choices and not just the usual vegetables. Great portion sizes as well. Our favourite local.

amazing food every time highly recommend these guys .

Definitely not for me, not much flavour. Chicken tikka very pink in colour. . Just not my taste but I'm only one person. Thank you

Food was excaellent but i preordered for 7.20pm and it arrived an hour early! Was a good job i was home but my husband wasnt & that was why i ordered for a certain time. I think when an order is for a certain time then you should make sure you deliver at that time & not an hour earlt!

A proper curry house with a great range of traditional food.

Usual excellent quality and service

Great variety of vegetarian and vegan options the latter of which use some surprisingly convincing mock meats. Each dish had a distinct flavour unlike some other takeaways which seem to use the same sauce in different dishes. Lovely friendly service and an accurate estimate of how long food would take which is rare and much appreciated. No sit-down dining - this is a takeaway only.

Amazing traditional curry house, recommended!

This place was recommended by a friend, the Tika Masala is out of this world best I have had in a long time.

Bhuna was excellent, as was the naan. Onion bhajis were a little dry, but this might've been because they were so big.

The balti was greasy.. oil floating on the top. I could have extracted enough to run a tractor on. The flavour of the Baltic was good. The rest of the meal was good too. Very nice portion of complimentary poppadoms too

Really enjoyable food, we've been using Sonali Tandoori for many years always been satisfied with what we've been served thankyou

Very good curry, the lemon rice was really good and I loved the fact that they gave me free poppadoms. 100% would order again, the peshwari naan was one of the best I have ever had, to top it off the driver was really professional.

Ordered online as usual, but they forgot an item again. I let it go last time but called up this time. The moment I said they’d forgotten something the hut apparently couldn’t hear me. So I called back and the hung up on me instead of speaking- they have number recognition. As they’ve dealt with this so “well”, coupled with the fact they can’t seem to get orders right prior to the above 2 incidents , I won’t be using them again.

Food was very late and stone cold. When I rang to complain, they lied to me and then put the phone down on me.

Food was gut-wrenchingly amazing, banging mate

Really enjoyable curry and top delivery.

Perfect dishes have used Sonali for years and always satisfied

Lamb Dhansak was way below its normally high standard. Surprised as it’s a great takeaway.

Food quite average. Menu says curry is "hot" and it's actually a soup of oil and tomato with few pieces of meat. Not even hot at all. Not even a piece of chilli. Diluted and tastes very very average.

Fantastic food in every way 🏆 They accommodate to taste and for children, if you call them - which was the perfect touch for us 🤩 Will definitely order again soon 🏆👍

Sonali are 100% back on track! We used to be very regular customers but more recently felt that the quality had dropped. This has completely changed - we just had the most incredible meal and are really happy that they’re back! Thank you for a fabulous meal!👏👏👏

The food was amazing very tasty ,hot and very favourable great meal can recemend.

1st time at Sonali. I enjoyed my meal so I'll definitely be using them again.

my order never showed up and i did wait and today i decided to write a review

We have been using the Sonali for many years and never had a bad experience. The food amazing and always delivered hot and on time.

DISAPPOINTING! After waiting 1hr20mins, the food arrived cold and lacked taste!

First order late food OK. 2nd order accepted then 10min later they cancelled. 3rd order same thing. 4th order they accepted. 10min later they call requesting £5 delivery claiming I'm too far away? They didn't charge me £5 delivery on my first order until they saw a B___k face. Very disappointing.

Me and my wife was blown away by how nice the food was here. We normally use a different one. So thats why we decided to try Sonal. Now this is definitely our go to.

Absolutely banging food from here!!!

Food was sooo tasty this will definitely be my go to Indian from now on....food came hot and fast

Ordered a salmon tikka and there was four tiny, v. Small pieces of salmon swimming in sauce. Disappointing as this usually is a delicious meal but now won't order again for the price it was and the amount received. Very bad

Great food at good prices. Would definitely make it my go to take away Indian

Always a favourite for many years. The assorted starter is a must!

Excellent food, exceeded expectations. Definitely recommended!

Perfect Indian food best curry in surrounding area. We have been regular customers for years. Thank you for your reliable service Sonali.

Delicious 😋 really nice flavours.

Always come back here! The delivery man is always polite and friendly with a smile on his face! outstanding delicious food too, can’t go wrong !

Nice tasty food. Jalfrezi cooked exactly how l like it with extra chillies. No complaints at all. Great service

Delicious food as always, thank you

Always good food won’t go anywhere else

Driver was very nice and polite, even got a Xmas card. One of the best I’ve had in ages. Will definitely return and wow! Extra popadoms Thank you 😊

The best like always ! Fresh food! And great people! Thank you.

Biriyani is not as you may know it

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! Haven’t ordered from here in a long time clearly standards have dropped. The food had previously been frozen. It was obvious. Chicken tough as old boots grey on the inside. Everything tasted watered down. Food arrived so quickly the app didn’t have a chance to update. Honestly the worst food I have ever paid for. Never again. Food went in the bin, requested a refund via just eat.

Driver was rude, don’t accept the order if it’s too far instead of telling us not to order from them ever again !!

Order hasn't arrived, cannot get though via phone call as it says the line is busy. Avoid this place!!

It is not biryani,! Smells like rice cooked with cauliflower. Chicken was hard as rock. It is not biryani folks

The food was amazing!! Definitely recommend it ☺️

Always our go to take away curry. Good food and friendly service.

Have never been disappointed by the taste of food or delivery service!

Very disappointed. Order came late. Food was cold and had a layer of oil over from the slow delivery. Delivery driver was very rude and made it very clear I should not order from them again due to my location, even though they happily accepted my order. Very unhappy

Lovely service and chicken tikka was delicious friendly staff nice experience here

Have ordered from here a few times and it has always been delicious!

Delicious, hot, fresh, tasty food as always. Sonali is our go to place. We love it!

Great service always! Superb food . Cannot fault. The go to restaurant if im ordering take out.

Great meal! Delivery was super quick!

The tikka meat and paneer was nice as was the vegetable dhansak. Chicken and lamb curry dishes were a little bland. Lack of spice & heat. Vegetable side dishes were also lacking flavour and spice. I’d order grilled tikka meats next time. Delivery on time.

Food was decent and tasted as always. The delivery guy is something else though. Whenever this particular guy delivers, he’s always on the phone, talks loudly and you can clearly hear the other person on the other end. He was asked to keep it down. Which didn’t work incidentally!! So rude. When did customer service t a runner??!!

Delicious food. Would order again.

Delicious as always, lovely fresh and tasty ingredients.

Lovely as always & polite delivery men

Everything was perfect and tasty.

Delicious food and large portions! Highly recommended.

Great food as always, deliverEd fast

Best indian takeaway in south east by far!!! Good food, polite and always on time and hot 🔥

The driver was very friendly and polite. We also was given a Christmas card. Thank you.

I ordered a home delivery last night and the food took over an hour and half to arrive and when it did I was charge full price but there was a dish missing. When I phoned to inform them there was a dish missing I was told that it was my fault, even though we ordered through the website and had the full order receipt in front of me which included the curry which was missing. I was hung up on and then received a text message saying ‘can I call you later’. I rang back myself and was told they are making it now and it was delivered about half hour later. No apology and no money back as way of an apology. I have been using Sonali for 20 years and this is the worst service I have ever received from them. And did not expect it being such a regular user of the takeaway. Very disappointed and am thinking about going elsewhere now.

Best Indian cuisine in the area

Everything was swimming in oil/ghee, all the meat tasted the same and odd, was also overcooked. The curries along with being incredibly greasy were completely lacking in flavour with no discernible difference between the two (got the meat thali), zero spice and I say that as someone who struggles with spicy food usually. The poppadoms tasted like they were cooked in old oil. One small savour was the naan which was actually lovely. With it arriving 20 minutes after a long wait time and no response to my request for an update, this was really an expensive let down that mostly went in the bin.

Great service, food was hot when delivered couldn’t ask for more!

The first curry I ever had back in the 00s. A lot has changed but it is still good.

The driver was so rude and the food ain’t worth the money missing item too

Always excellent. Food fresh and hot. My guests were all pleased. Good value for money.

I tried in on the spur of the moment, and was very impressed with the polite service and the very tasty dishes, I had the Bengal curry and rice portion size was very good and again very tasty.

Always was delicious but today lemon rices had big pieces of lemons and was too bitter. Also shatkora dish had different taste than usual.

Very tasty staff friendly well worth a look

Honestly the most disgusting food I have ever ordered. Everything was reheated the chicken tasted awful! Mint sauce was sour. Health risk do not order from here

Great flavours best we've found

Delicious food! Not at all oily, couldn’t fault anything we ordered. Exceptional!

Overall very tasty, but the chicken vindaloo gravy was a bit tasteless. It was missing the vinegar.

Just realised they forgot my bread with the grill mix,🤔

Was recommended by a friend and would recommend to others

Great food, good delivery time. would order from again.

The tandoori wings were amazing, will definitely order from here again

Best Indian I've had in a while, Chicken Tikka massala was delicious, the delivery driver was also extremely friendly. Only let down was the poppadoms were slightly soft. Will definitely order from here again

Tasty & delicious. Very pleased.

Very tasty and excellent quality food! My family and I enjoyed it all! Thank you!

Just moved to area and tried sonali,well worth the call.lovely food and delivered exactly as quoted,will deffo use again and again

Been coming here for years highly recommend

Fed was excellent as always. The delivery was very polite and professional. Complimentary poppadoms were first class. Prefer to wait and have perfect meal.

Food didnt meet my expectations , Sorry Guys...

Absolutely disgusting service. Ordered food at 5.20, asked for an update for The restaurant at 8 to be told they would deliver by 8.20 sorry for the delay. Phone was off the hook the entire time. Ended up going to The restaurant at 9pm to be told my food was still in the kitchen waiting to be delivered!

Decent Regular Takeaway. Good clean tasting food and tastes quality the next day. Staff are very friendly and orders alway come correctly

i ordered korma as thats all ieat but not sure whaat meat it was but it ended up in the bin it was either stale but it wasnt chicken

Although the onion bhaji was a little dry, the taste was good and the rest of the food was great.

Unfortunately they said they delivered but never did. Kids were very excited to get their take away. Very disappointing after such a long wait. So there is your review that you have asked for.

Driver was rude telling me not to order because it’s far for him

Delicious as always! Thank you !
