Standard Tandoori Restaurant in Islington

Este es nuestro restaurante indio local que utilizamos tanto para llevar como para comer. Tiene un ambiente tradicional que me gusta mucho. La comida es excelente. Todos los platos tienen una cantidad decente de ingredientes principales y no solo unos pocos pedazos nadando en salsas. El staff es muy amigable.

He estado yendo aquí por muchos añosTodo el personal es muy amable y las personas más agradables son negocios familiares.La comida siempre es constante y muy buena.Después de leer una de las últimas críticas, parece que fue un lugar diferente al que conozco, ya que voy algunas veces al mes, nunca tuve nada malo con el personal o la comida.Definitivamente recomiendo este restaurante y siempre tengo

I went to this restaurant with my family, for a late birthday meal. And it was amazing. The food was top notch. The staff were great. The food was value for money.

Aparecimos para comer después del espectáculo en Londres, ya que el restaurante parecía tranquilo y en camino a nuestro vehículo.Inicialmente, encontramos al personal brusco hasta el punto de ser grosero. Pedimos bebidas y pedimos específicamente agua del grifo para los amigos que conducían. Nos trajeron agua embotellada y tuvimos que preguntar varias veces antes de traer un vaso de agua del grifo. Fue cuesta abajo desde allí. . .Cuando llegó la comida, el pedido no estaba completo, y después de 15 minutos le preguntamos a un mesero cuánto tiempo tendríamos que esperar el resto de nuestra comida. Nos dijeron, en términos inequívocos, que estaría listo "pronto".Pensamos que era mejor estar callados y comenzar con lo que teníamos.Desafortunadamente, la comida estaba a la par con la actitud del personal, fue terrible. El resto de la comida llegó, pero lamentablemente era de calidad similar.Cuando algunos de nosotros comenzamos a terminar nuestra comida, el personal de repente se volvió receptivo y se movía alrededor de nuestra mesa preguntando si ya habíamos terminado.Al final, tuvimos que preguntar si estaba bien que los otros miembros de nuestro grupo terminaran su comida antes de limpiar la mesa.Tan pronto como los vieron terminar, apresuradamente despejaron la mesa, empujándose entre nosotros para llegar a los platos.Pagamos la factura y nos fuimos.Todos somos personas tranquilas, educadas y respetuosas, por lo que me sorprendió mucho la forma en que nos trataron. El personal fue grosero, y todos sentimos que no éramos bienvenidos en su establecimiento.Sumado al hecho de que la comida era terrible, hizo que toda la experiencia sea una que ciertamente no repetiremos.No nos quejamos de la comida en ese momento porque todo lo que parecíamos decir al personal se encontró con un nivel de grosería y parecía inútil, por lo tanto, dejar esta crítica.Pude entender que el personal se hartaba de grupos de personas ruidosas que tal vez habían tomado demasiadas bebidas de antemano, pero nosotros tampoco. Simplemente aparecimos para comer después de un espectáculo.Hay muchas buenas críticas para este restaurante en Trip Advisor, así que nos quedamos completamente conmocionados con el nivel de grosería y la calidad de la comida.Tal vez los atrapamos en el día equivocado, quién sabe. Ciertamente no fue porque estaban ocupados, ya que aparte de nosotros, solo había otros dos comensales en el restaurante.De cualquier manera, ciertamente no recomendaré al personal ni a la comida.

Pleasant staff, but the food didn’t taste like it had been made fresh. Many of the dishes tasted the same. Greasy and chewy onion bhajis. The naan bread was good.

Been going here for years Lovely people And the food it’s all very tasty Every dish tastes different not like some places

An unassuming curry house which offers both quality food, good prices and fabulous service. I never tire of this restaurant. Food is high quality whether you go mid-week or at the weekend. Go and find out for yourself. You won’t be disappointed!

Mi esposa pidió una comida para llevar de este establecimiento para un cumpleaños familiar como habíamos comido aquí a principios de mes. Pero después de ver lo que nos cobraron es decir 3. 50 envíos y precios superiores a los que figuran en el menú. Mi hija volvió a preguntar por esto y el hombre con el que habló también fue muy brusco y dijo que usted ordenó que estaba en camino Usted tiene que pagar. Dijo que es demasiado caro y no lo queremos y le dijeron a F @ • k fuera ¡Increíble no solicitará ni comerá nada de este establecimiento en el futuro! ! !

Todo lo que esperas en una casa de curry británica clásica está aquí, puppodum, cobra beer, raita, the lot. El servicio es eficiente y usted sabe lo que está recibiendo, ya que es más o menos lo que solíamos obtener en los restaurantes indios (técnicamente de Bangladesh) hace 40 años. Me encanta (ahora soy vegetariano pero no era así) y la gente con la que estaba me encantó. La mayoría de nosotros habíamos estado antes, y sabíamos lo que queríamos y lo que obtendríamos. Probablemente volveremos también (a menos que nos guste ir a Gujarati o al sur de la India o algo por cambiar) 25 incluyendo dos cervezas

No preocuparse cuando llames algo estándar, para no tener expectativas. Esto era muy medio de la carretera. El servicio era muy bueno, excepcional, de hecho. Muy amable.El restaurante parece viejo, pero está muy limpio, así que de nuevo, satisfactoria.La comida era mucho nivel y en verdad, podría haber hecho un mejor (en mi opinión) al curry en casa.Yo no tengo prisa en volver de nuevo, pero si era tarde con ningún otro lugar abierto, yo no puedo descartar tampoco.Me sorprende que un crítico sentí que era el mejor curry siempre debo de haber perdido algo o la cosa equivocada ordenados.Si la comida era mejor, podría fácilmente convertirse en un 4.

Been going all of my life, I'm 22, and nothing seems to reach the standard it has set, pardon the pun.

Un lugar para evitar Holloway Road

Prices are extortionate and portion sizes do not warrant the cost. That aside, the food was ok and I mean just ok have had many many better. Have learnt my lesson and will not return

Been lots of times Food always good Worth a try Nice and friendly helpful staff The mix grill is really good

We went to restaurant Food was good Prices steep as we didnt know about the surplus charge for football night and should have been told Service was slow due to high volume of people

Fuimos el miércoles después del partido arsenal v santos por un curry después del juego mientras esperamos el metro para moverte menos ocupados y para mantener fuera de la fría. (estaba lleno, así que nos dieron la última mesa) Cuando se presenten con el menú me pareció que parecía precios muy altos, ya que era de £1. 20 por cada Poppadum (teníamos 2) y luego una sala £1. 20 cada uno para tener el encurtidos/Chutneys. Pedí un cordero Madras (que era el cordero en una sopa de tomate picante semi) mi amigo tenía gambas de Madrás, teníamos una llanura arroz y uno Keema Nan y 1 botella de tinto de la casa de £15. 99 así que el total era 56 libras de comida, así que la comida era 40 libras! ! Yo estaba muy sorprendido no sólo en el gasto, sino también la calidad. Yo vivo en Yo lo intentaría así que estoy bastante estropeado por la variedad y calidad, pero habría sido más feliz si era realmente bueno, pero tanto curry era sopa. Más tarde he leído aquí que operen un partido precios menú del día y ahora puedo ver por qué era tan caro. Por la comida que nunca volvería, pero debido a la estafa de precios, he decidido escribir esta crítica. Da un mal nombre casas de curry que evite y tienen una hamburguesa! !

Tres de nosotros fuimos a la estándar Tandoori después de un partido en casa reciente jugó en Arsenal. En primer lugar, fuimos al restaurante y 4 horas después del partido había terminado. Había otras cuatro personas en el restaurante en el momento, así que el comercio de fútbol tenía bien y verdaderamente pasado.

Went on Match day Arsenal at home and menu price increased 25% rip off. Food average not impressed had much better. Service slow

Absolutamente atroz servicio. Nuestro camarero claramente debería retirarse, él era la persona más miserable, groseros y agresivos que nos hemos encontrado en un restaurante. Antes habíamos pedido, nos preguntaron si queríamos tener algunos poppadoms, les dijimos que sí, no esperábamos que cobrar £1 cada uno. Los poppadoms trajeron con chutney que no habíamos pedido, pero más tarde fue en la cuenta de una persona £1 (había 6 de nosotros). Si el camarero tenía informarnos que cobran por aquellos, no nos hubiera dicho sí. Cuando el camarero pedimos agua del grifo, caminaba en un huff y farfulló bajo su soplo que tiene que preguntar si nos puede servir agua del grifo - sólo para encontrar que en el menú cobran £0.50 para el agua del grifo. Antes habíamos terminado nuestra exageradamente caro chutney, fue tomada lejos de nosotros sin duda. La comida duró una hora y 20 minutos y a otras personas que vinieron después de nosotros estábamos comiendo antes que nosotros. Unos 40 minutos, nos había pedido el mismo camarero de cuánto sería, y cuando finalmente llegó, el camarero de manera agresiva poner la comida en la mesa prácticamente y cuando pregunté poniendo un poco mas de cuidado, nos dijeron que nos hambre. La calidad de la comida era normal en el mejor. Paneer fue quemada, Pollo Korma sabían como alguien había vaciado una bolsa de azúcar y el leche endulzada raita era. Para colmo intentaron cobrarnos 2 cervezas que nunca tuvimos. Londres tiene un montón de restaurantes de curry - hay que evitar esto sin duda, especialmente para aquellos con presión arterial alta.

The food, staff and service is awesome here! I can not recommend this place enough - go here and enjoy - you will not be disappointed!

Mejor curry en Islington! Gran servicio, deliciosa comida, personal amable, razonable, recomiendo encarecidamente

I really enjoyed the food. And definitely coming back.The service was also so attentive and friendly. The restaurant was not busy and I hope people o HollowayRoad give this place a chance.

Finished late in London and saw this restaurant on Holloway and thought l would give it a go. It was excellent. Had my doubts when l walked in as it was not very busy. Excellent service and food cooked exactly as requested.

Have been coming to this local Indian restaurant for years and the food and service has never let me down always consistently good, I recommend this local restaurant to everyone to try

Went in on the off-chance and was really happy I did. One of the tastiest kormas I've ever had, ditto the peshwari naan. I was pleasantly surprised by the price too, very good value for London. The staff were very pleasant, and the restroom was spotless. Will definitely go back when I'm in the area.

My wife and myself were walking along Holloway Road the other evening when we came across the Standard Tandoori. We both fancied a curry and we were delightfully surprised. Neither of us like hot curries so whilst our choices were on the mild side they were flavoursome and plentiful. The service received was good and the prices very favourable compared to some especially for drinks.We do not visit this area very often but when we do a visit to the Standard Tandoori will be on the cards.

Visited here when I was going to the Emirates to watch Villa play.Had poppadoms to start followed by chicken and spinach main with garlic Naan. Staff were very attentive and welcoming and food was fine if not exceptional. My curry was ok just seemed a bit watery the bread however was very good as was my draught lager.

Stopped here on way back to station after football match so we could miss the crowd home. Wish we hadn't. Rude and pushy staff, below average food and certainly not cheap. Final straw was when they tried to charge us for tap water. I pointed out that under Licensing Act 2003, restaurants serving alcohol has to provide free tap water (thank you money supermarket) and owner got very agitated and told me not to tell him the law. Definitely wouldn't go again.

We've been eating here for over 20 years. It's the best in north London. Always Cortez's great service

Really friendly staff, great food (take-away and eat-in) , having my third one in a week this evening.

I visited the Standard Tandoori and had a totally fantastic meal. The service was excellent, the food was superb and the bill was reasonable. I this cost I asked the waiter for a main course recommendation, a lamb and chicken dish which was excellent. Thank you for a lovely evening.

This is a long-established family restaurant serving good quality freshly prepared Indian food. I eat here frequently to the extent that I am recognised as a regular customer and always receive a warm welcome. I would particularly recommend Chicken Tikka as a starter.The service here is very efficient and attentive.Be aware that the Restaurant is very popular with Arsenal supporters and very busy on days Arsenal are playing home matches.

A local restaurant, and has been there for years. Great service from the waiting staff and from the boss himself. Food was cooked lovely, the restaurant has a nice cosy vibe to it, everything was spot on. We were even offered after dinner liqueur on the house. Don't give this place a miss if you're around the Holloway area!

Everything about the standard tandoori is spot on, from the service to the decor, not to mention the food. I have been a regular visitor of the standard Tandoori for 10 years and this long standing traditional British curry house lives up to its consistently high standards every time. Having moved from the area it is rare i get a chance to frequent the curry house, however whenever i am passing through i make every effort to pay them a visit. They always remember me and what my favourite curry is. I couldn't recommend this place any higher. I am thoroughly looking forward to my nest visit!

We accidentally ended up going to Standard Tandoori when we could not find an other restaurant on New Years Eve. The waiter was kind, the food was incredibly good, we enjoyed every bite of it. After talking to the waiter, he invited us to see the tandoori oven in the kitchen. The kitchen was very clean, it was great to meet everybody. At the end of the meal we got a New Years present - a bottle of wine and some after eight chocolates - it was an amazing experience! We left the restaurant extremely happy, the food was just incredible cooked, clean, good flavors, tender, juicy, just really, really good - one of the best east Indian meals we have had.

I received the poorest service I have ever experienced in this restaurant. It started with our waiter (called Matai) who decided to become snotty and make comments on the fact that 3 people were only ordering 3 beers, 5 poppadoms and chutneys, 2 currys and 3 assorted portions of rice. The currys arrived about 1 hour after I ordered, without exaggerating. My attempts to stop our waiter Matai fell through as he deliberately ignored any attempt, pretending not to hear us to the point that it was embarrassing for everyone.I eventually had to call another member of the staff, who gently apologised for his colleague (he basically admitted this other guy sometimes loses his head) and brought us our food 5 minutes later.Food is not bad, but there is certainly no lack of good Indian restaurants around here and I will spend my money elsewhere in the future.

The food is absolutely great and the staff incredibly kind. I have always ordered take away and I was never disappointed. I go back quite often and I definitely recommend it! Either if you like it or you don't you really should try any Sagg - prowns, chicken or lamb - it's simply perfect!

The first thing you'll notice is the really genuine & friendly service - always. The place is small & cosy, if a bit dated - but that just adds to the charm. The menu is standard & the food good, with some dishes being extremely tasty & just a bit different. Would not hesitate to return here or to recommend...would say it's a bit better than just standard!

Finding ourselves at Highbury corner and fancying a curry we had a check here and decided to go to the Standard due to the generally good reviews. As the average graders have said before we found our roshni chicken and lamb jalfrezi distinctly average - nothing to complain about but nothing to write home about. They simply don't have the depth of flavour that you can expect when you find a better than average restaurant. It's a shame as everything else about the meal was at least good if not excellent. The chicken tikka starter was a world apart, tender, perfectly spiced and so tasty. The naan's were fluffy and cooked perfectly (although the keema naan did need a tastier meat inside). The wine was good and well priced and the service was really excellent. If we returned we would definitely pick tandoori mains but to the restaurant - take the feedback and improve your main dishes as this place has the potential to be really excellent.

Been here lots of times and very consistentEvery dish tastes different unlike some other indian restaurantsStaff are really nice I would definitely recommend this restaurant.Just love there food

Had a meal there with a few friends on a Saturday all in all the food was average nothing to write home about, a bit on the salty side but all in all it wasn't bad but the only gripe I have is that the coke I ordered was flat I suspect it was from a plastic bottle rather than single serve glass bottles, I didn't request another glass because service was abrupt and un-genuine.

We came here on match night before the local football game, fairly close to kick-off after walking out of another restaurant up the road due to slow service. The restaurant was packed and we had a ten minute-ish wait for a table so it was even closer to KO but they acknowledged us as soon as we came through the door, found us a place to wait & allowed us to order while we waited so the food was almost ready by the time we got a seat, meaning we were out in time for kick off.It was one of the better Indian meals I've had, I'm still thinking of the nan bread (peshwari-was piping hot & really fluffy & tasty). I ordered the vegetable biryani which was brilliant. My husband (a sworn carnivore) tried it & then wolfed down the leftovers stating he might get that next time (a meal without meat-unheard of for him!!). He had the shashlik I think & enjoyed it.Would definitely go back here again, even on a busy match night as they seem to understand the desire of the footie fans to get out in good time for kick off.

After a long day in the city, I couldn’t be bothered with Hotel food so I ventured out to the Standard…. It was garbage, I love a good curry, but it didn’t hit the spot at all, nan bread could have been shop bought, the rice was lip and soggy and the curry literally had no taste. A complete waste of money.

Really quick service, very reasonably priced, great range on the menu and above standard if you ask me! Great chicken shashlik

Fantastic service and food that cannot go wrong with. The waiters in there are very gentlemanly and you get a much better service and care than all those horrible chain restaurants. They treat you very well and will try and accommodate you as best they can! I always get 'korma' boring I know - but sooo delicious with their amazing Peshawari Naans. It's so reasonably priced, cheaper than chain restaurants and always a place to sit. Simple and lovely!

In the area and needing somewhere to eat, we stumbled across the Standard Tandoori. Since there were a good number of diners already in the restaurant, which is normally a good sign, we popped in. Many of those already there appeared to be locals who had called in following Arsenal's New Year home game.The meal and service were fine but there was nothing special about the food, service or the place itself to deserve a higher marking than 'Average'. That said I would have no hesitation in going back there if ever in that area again.

Great food every single time I've visited throughout 2013 and 2014. The staff are extremely helpful and I can highly recommend this place for a lovely Indian meal in Islington.

I moved in to the area 5 years ago, with no crockery or cutlery to speak of at the time - Standard Tandoori was my first meal (and yes, they kindly did provide plastic cutlery for our meal once they learned of our situation!) I have loved it ever since and now that I'm about to move away from the area it will be one of the things I will most miss. It is the very best version of your typical Indian fare, with saucy curries and all the 'standard' mains and sides - it's not fine dining - but it is delicious - every time! I used to only ever eat spicier curries but after trying their Murgh Mukhani (butter chicken) I have never looked back - it is sooooo good! The service is always friendly, they chat to you, remember you when you come back, hold the door open for you as you walk out with your take-away, they're perfectly polite at all times and accommodating of any special requests - everything you would expect of really traditionally good service and more. I couldn't leave without writing them this review. I will be eating there again for my last meal in Holloway and will certainly be asking how far away they will deliver! To anyone reading: come and try a Standard Tandoori!

We have been going to the Standard for meals and take-outs for nearly 20 years. The food is usually excellent and has been very consistent over the years. The side dishes (vegetarian) are especially good - try the sag paneer and bhindi. Chicken tikka massala also recommended.

It is pretty standard.I don't know if the meat dishes are excellent - I guess they are as my carnivore friends love it & go there regularly. But the veggie dishes are - standard. Not such a wide variety as other places we go to regularly but nice enough. Good value too.Staff are very pleasant though and always great us all like old friends!

Been to this restaurant lots of times now and always really enjoy it. Food and service are great. Takeaway option also good. Will keep going back.

Moved to Highbury this year and have been very impressed with The Standard after a number of dine-ins and takeaways. The staff are lovely, always offering exemplary service and the food is delicious and really good value for money. I haven't found a better indian in the area.

Shared mix veg platter, two curries, one side, shared rice, two nans, 1 large beer, 1 regular beer, 1 large coke came to £45.Poppadoms and dips were decent enough. Plenty of dip and the quality was average.The mix veg platter was rather drab, one veg samosa and a onion bhaji which had been flattened. Definitely not fresh which is usual for this sort of starter but it also lacked much flavour. Disappointing.Things started to improve with the mains. The nan was fluffy and was a decent size. Curry wise the spicy Paneer we had lacked a bit of flavour and despite being labelled as hot, didn't have me reaching for a drink once - but it was nice. The Tikka Masala, sweet editable and reasonable. The cola out of a bottle which was showing its age - basically flat. Usual selection of beers. The curry sauce slightly too runny.I fancied a curry, we got a curry, I wasn't left excited though and I'd probably give another curry in the area ago before a repeat visit here.The food was reasonable and the staff friendly. A well rounded average restaurant.

A small group of us ate at this very reasonably priced Tandoori restaurant. Service was very good and staff very helpful. Food was ok but needed more seasoning. Dishes tended to be lacking in herbs and spices, salt and overall flavour. It would be so easy to make this place and it's food great.

The standard is a great local restaurant. food is unfailingly tastey, wonderful choice and really excellent service. Staff always friendly, we go every week and always look forward to it. I have been using the standard since 80s and it's never let me down.

I've been going to this restaurant since the mid-80s. The quality is constantly good. If you are in Islington and want Indian food, this is the place to go.
