Tandoor Chop House in City of London, Westminster

Naan lamb chops and Nutella naan good

The best tandoori chicken I had in my entire life, and the lamb chops were magic. Friendly staff and very nice location. Highly recommended!

Amazing food and friendly service

Ribeye was buff but the bone marrow was a but meh

Amazing food, great ambience and lovely service. Overall had a great time dining here

Excellent food. Quality and reasonably priced. Bottle of wine, 1 starter and 2 mains with 3 side £90. Best food tasted in a long time. Highly recommend

I recommend the hot honey chicken! best Indian dish ever tasted!

Lovely food, had the set menu for two with a couple extra dishes for 3 people and it was all delicious

Food is amazing and the staff are great!

My husband chose Tandoor Chop House for his birthday lunch out and it was amazing! Being able to see the food being cooked in the Tandoors is lovely to watch and really found that part interesting. The food itself was SUPER tasty. There was spice so if you’re bothered by that deffo watch out. My fav was the onion ring bhaji, the chicken tikka and the bone marrow naan. We also had a non alcoholic pina colada which was really tasty & a Diet Coke. The bill was around £80 with tip which I think was worth it for what we had. Would highly recommend as portions not small at all and food super tasty!

The food was delicious I personally liked the ceser salad and the chicken was very tender….

Vine aquí el fin de semana pasado para una sabrosa comida antes de pasar al Cirque du Soleil en el Albert Hall. No es nuestra primera visita a Tandoor Chophouse, pero tan bueno y mejor que antes. Enorme selección para compartir, grandes sabores, todo perfecto. Personal informativo muy justo, hospitalario, eficaz y atento. Genial. Nos empujaron un poco por el tiempo, pero rápidamente envolvieron y encajonaron varios platos que no habíamos terminado. Desafortunadamente cuando llegamos a la RAH, probablemente predeciblemente, nos dijeron que no podíamos dejar o almacenar temporalmente nuestra comida en ningún lugar o incluso traerla al edificio. Realmente deberíamos haber elegido tan efectivamente como pudimos en el camino. Nadie a quien culpar por haber malinterpretado la situación. No lo haré de nuevo. Pero estaremos de vuelta en la casa de chuletas de nuevo v pronto. Muy recomendable.

I have been here twice now before going to evening events in central London and at the Albert Hall. The food tastes great, portion size is very good and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. I love being able to see the Tandoori ovens and the stage were very helpful for my wife who is gluten intolerant. There's a nice vibe about the place and I will go back again soon.

Great food, great price and really nice staff and atmosphere. Will definitely return

Finger licking good Indian food in beautiful dining room with a full view of the tandoor. Lamb chops, tikka both top notch.

Two of us, pre-theatre at 6pm, on a busy Thursday. We hadn't booked but they found us a table. The food was mixed. The onion bhaji was fabulous, the cauliflower croquettes were a tad dull. The dhal was good if not to the same level as Dishoom. Our main compliant would be £16 for three (largeish) pieces of paneer seems very steep. Think it would be much better for meat eaters than veggies.

Did not realize this place existed. Great find. Loved the menu. Perfect if you're not into saucy curries but grilled meats and veg. Awesome naans. Great quality ingredients. Service was good too.

Highly recommend the food was lovely and the staff friendly really enjoyed our time here.,

I enjoyed every bite. It was incredible.

Consistency is key and Tandoor Chop House has always lived up to expectations, a truly enjoyable meal!

A delicious spin on some dishes, but the flavors remained familiar. The first time we went, we only ordered a few dishes - so we felt like we needed to come back to try more! The second time around, we ordered the roasted cauliflower again, but it was waaaaaaay spicier than the first time... If you're sensitive, then it might be worth a mention to your server.

A fantastic experience - we came to celebrate an anniversary and we're met with an attentive team and delicious food. Thank you!

I recently visited Tandoor Chop House after seeing some great TikTok videos, but sadly, the experience fell well below expectations. While I appreciate the idea of offering a unique twist on the traditional tandoori concept, there were several disappointing aspects of our visit. Firstly, the lack of vegetarian options was a real letdown. The beetroot kebab, one of the few choices available, was awful – it had a strange aftertaste and felt raw. It seemed like little thought had gone into catering for vegetarian diners. Secondly, the service was subpar. The staff seemed uninterested, bordering on miserable, and gave the impression they were just there to pass time and collect their wages. When we asked questions about the menu, they merely pointed at it and said, “what’s there is there.” When we inquired about the Thali, the only response was the price – no effort to explain or engage. It was disappointing, especially after the buzz created by their TikTok presence. To top it off, the toilets were atrocious. For a restaurant aiming to position itself as trendy and high-quality, this was completely unacceptable. It’s clear that basic maintenance and hygiene need much more attention. Overall, this was a very disappointing visit. There’s potential in the concept, but major improvements in food, service, and facilities are urgently needed to make this a place worth visiting again.

Beautiful food, all served piping hot and full of flavour. You must try!

Went for «sunday thali» which was really good breakfast. But had to wait almost 50 min before the food arrived.

Gabriella y el equipo dieron un servicio excepcional para nuestras celebraciones de Año Nuevo. La comida era muy sabrosa y agradable para tener una variedad de diferentes platos tandoor para elegir.

The food and service were great neither are the reason for the low rating! Service charge was added to the bill- no problem there. The customer is then encouraged/shamed into leaving an additional charge with the assurance that the staff will actually receive all of the additional service charge(not quite the flex the restaurant might think it is). I’m sure many customers, especially tourists would be unaware that they have already had service included in the bill. If that wasn’t bad enough,there is also a check out fee for the privilege of actually helping the restaurant by paying by QR code! In conclusion,the sour taste left after the meal had nothing to do with the food!

Intimate and quaint venue. The food was incredible. The server helped us out with a few recommendations and the food...the food was awesome. I definitely will go back.

Loved this place. My daughter has a nut allergy, and the restaurant was so accomadative. At every stage, they kept us informed about the food and its allergints. Knowing the restaurant was so busy, still staff took time to keep us informed. The food was really good. we ordered butter chicken and other vegetarian options, which was really nice. The first time ever, my daughter had butter chicken and kulfi in a restaurant that didn't have any nuts! The only downside is that the restaurant didn't serve rice dishes or plain rice. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The restaurant is near trafalgar Square and is a perfect place for indian dining.

They don’t serve fine dining or any Indian style curry except roti All they have is starter , which taste ok ok. We even asked at counter but they don’t clarify it. Overall not as expected May be you go for drinks and enjoy starter But not Indian style

Lovely place, value for money, but was hoping for a kick out of the food, the spice level was very mild.

Slightly overrated place. But convenient for office lunches in the Charing Cross vicinity

Es Londres, un montón de buenos restaurantes indios. Este restaurante está cerca de Trafalgar Square, así que si estás en la zona, échale un vistazo. Sí, el nombre debería darte una gran pista de que este es un tipo especial de restaurante así que una vez que aceptes el hecho de que ninguna chica tiene derecho a las cosas realmente buenas. Ensalada Cesar de pollo de coronación o croquetas de coliflor picante o papas fritas de masa ninou para bocados pequeños. Uno en nuestra fiesta tenía el pollo Tandori (por supuesto), pero lo más destacado fue la chuleta de cordero Amitseri (s). Fuera de este mundo delicioso. Un montón de naan o roti en varias iteraciones. Buen servicio por varios camareros. No ruidoso y mesas para no amontonarse.

Absolutamente LAS mejores chuletas de cordero tandoori de la HISTORIA. Curiosamente no puedes tener arroz aquí, pero lo que hacen es excelente y bastante buena relación calidad-precio para Londres. Me encanta este lugar y vengo cada vez que estamos en Londres.

Very warm welcome, very good service, very good food! If you are passing through London I recommend this restaurant!

The food is delicious..note that they only have halal chicken

He estado por aquí durante mucho tiempo y he estado en muchos restaurantes comidas, etc., este lugar es tan refrescante, sin pompa, sin circunstancias, un entorno básico, pero la comida está en un nivel diferente, la guarnición de pollo miel es para morirse y toda la experiencia fue absolutamente preciosa, mantenlo

Delicious food, friendly staff and great value for money. Highly recommend!

Limited menu, Overpriced, more of Tapas joint with influences of the Indian sub continent than anything else...

Good food. Friendly staff. Good location for the train station.

Listen, Two great things combined doesn’t always work. Joggers and leggings both work. Jeggings? Something’s been lost in the amalgamation. Smashing a good old English chop house together with a tandoor oven does feel like a no brainer though. Large pieces of meat on bone, slathered in Indian spices, burnished in a 500 degree tandoor oven. Is a review even necessary? Annoying bits first. QR codes for menus are nonsense. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Restaurants, stop it. We prefer to gaze lovingly at a piece of paper so we can map out our meal in a more tangible way. Call it a life pleasure. After much scrolling and squinting we deduce the menu is fairly small. A few meats and fish from the tandoor. Four sides and a selection of naan, that’s the gist of it. Something of a relief if choice fires a bright beam of light to your bunny eyes. I crave simple almost as much as I crave curry so we’re in a good place here. We order the lamb chops and tandoori chicken from the tandoor along with some black dal and a tomato, cucumber and onion kachumber. My reflex ‘rice for the table’ is swiftly rebuked by our helpful, knowledgable server. ‘This is North Indian cuisine’ we learn. I like that he was steadfast about their preference for naan, of which there were a few to sample. But first some nibbles. An impressive looking stack of onion rings that weren’t impressive in any other way. Soggy batter and the onion still raw inside. The smoked aubergine raita was nice though, and my index finger an adequate carriage. Cauliflower bites were more successful. The subtlety of the cauliflower brought out with sensitive spicing, they were at once crispy and soft, the raison d’être of a croquette. The rest arrives soon after and is a pleasing array. Tandoori chicken comes with the breast separated from the thigh and leg. I wonder if they cooked it this way too because both pieces managed to retain some of their juice. Skillz to the operator of that piece of kitchen equipment. 500 degrees can do bad things to a chicken breast but this one was plump and pleasing. Spicing wasn’t too dissimilar to many other tandoori chickens I’ve eaten and that’s a compliment. That there is a universal flavour to this dish gives hope that the collective unconscious can indeed make the world a better place. Jung would be delighted. Lamb chop spices leaned more towards the pepper and clove end of the scale and were a pleasing contrast. The tandoor is a lot kinder to lamb. Outsides are allowed to be burned. Insides actually benefit from a lack of prolonged hear. Something the Chop House exploits well. Black dal came as expected. Plenty of it. Nice and creamy. Perhaps not as sugary as the daddy at Dishoom. Onion and tomato Kambuchar did its job of lying to the brain that this was indeed the right amount of green to be putting in the body. Breads worked well. Bone marrow naan was a plain naan spread with a good bone marrow sauce. Never seen that. Would order it again. The naan were thin and not indelicate. The thinness made it feel like these were to be enjoyed in their own right rather than just to fill any last remaining pockets of air in the stomach. My companion in this latest culinary adventure came all the way from Portland. An old friend lost to the brain drain. I wanted to remind her what she was missing in good old Blighty and all I could think was ‘curry’. The marriage of the old English chop house provided a relaxed, informal, sturdy setting in which to gabble, gossip and grab at food. The Tandoor Chop House does what it says on the tiffin. Meat and spice in an English Indian canteen. Simple. Effective. A good marriage. Like a spork. Prices are steep though, perhaps as a consequence of being slap bang in the middle of the world’s capital. Nonetheless, in this age of divorce, a successful marriage of ideas which I hope lasts until my Portland pal pops by again.

Comida increíble, porciones generosas, gran relación calidad-precio. Diez de cada diez. Muy recomendable! Fantásticos sabores, nuestros huéspedes quedaron impresionados.

Attended a Christmas function here and the whole experience was phenomenal. Great, friendly service. The restaurant is small and cozy. We had the festive set menu which was incredible- the food was hot, beautifully presented and perfectly spiced. The coconut ice cream dessert rounded the meal off on a happy note! I will definitely be back.

always awesome. we are regulars and the only problem is pacing ourselves... so good

Great service and drinks However the food ain’t to the standards we, punjabis would eat. If you want flavourful Indian this ain’t the spot. None of the food hit and it seems to be aimed at the non Indian audience. Real shame as the Instagram hype brought me here.

Really bad place. We got the wrong naan bread and then when we asked for the right one we got a burned one. The tandoori was grilled chicken with dip. We have been to india and this was just really bad

Delicious tandoori cuisine with a modern twist. Succulent chicken, moist and fresh naan in a cool vibe room

Was on the hunt for the best Indian in Soho/Mayfair/Covent/etc and this place absolutely delivered on the lamb chops. Added an extra one for 6£ and only wish I had added two. Brilliant chops. Had the chatt and green chilie naan, all wonderful. Tried a drink and the white elephant IPA, all good.

Cosy atmosphere and some traditional vibes with the massive ovens that are visible. The food was not bad, service was pleasant. They accommodated for extra time on a weekday evening. Expect a service charge on the bill. The spices are not going to be very spicy and we requested some sauces to make it less dry as it didn’t come with any. Overall it was decent, can’t complain. Butter chicken naan didn’t have the same effect as eating butter chicken, would be good to see this on the menu as it is a bit limited. The tandoori was good though and cooked. Everything else I would say was ok.

Great place with outstanding chicken and lamb from the Tandor. Fries and Dahl were also very good.

Superb Indian food in a warm, welcoming environment! The owner and his daughter took clear pride in their work; we did the sampling menu so got to try an assortment of dishes that were all explained to us in detail as they were served. Really looking forward to returning here again.

This place was the best. I’m not an Indian food lover but I must admit that this place knows what they are doing. The onion rings, chicken, lamb, naan and bah was amazing. The service was fast and accurate. To see the cooks/chiefs in action is always a plus. They know their food. Highly recommended.

Brilliant food! Recommend getting the lamb chops!

INCREDIBLE TANDOOR CHICKEN. oh my god i was licking the scraps! naan is amazing too! the service was great the staff was very attentive. nice dim lighting, i loved it.

Cerca de Covent Garden este restaurante indio pequeño, pero muy agradable. Acogedor, buen personal y sobre todo deliciosa comida. Buen sabor, buena variedad, algunas buenas cervezas y una pequeña carta de vinos. Sin duda una buena opción, volveremos.

Amazing meal! We pretty much ordered one of everything, special mention for the bone marrow naan, black daal & masala rib eye. Wasn’t a huge fan of the chaat and their version of an onion bhaji just tasted of oil, but overall a very nice meal!

Loved the ambience, watching the open kitchen with tandoor with a British classic pub feel. The honey honey chicken with pickled onions was full of flavour. Tangy, sweet, sour and a hint of spice. The butter chicken sauce was sweet and creamy however, could have had more body to it. The naan was loaded with butter and was unleavened but still soft. I would have preferred less butter. Would be back to try other things on the menu.

A great place, good food and service. Watching the chefs cook was brilliant, especially the talented Naan making chef!

Yummy! We were there at the end of September 2024, the rib-eye steak was incredibly tender and well seasoned. The spicy chicken dish was also great. Don't be confused, everything looks "grilled for a bit", but it's all perfect. A variety of naan breads are also a specialty there (unfortunately not gluten-free). But be sure to reserve.

Consistently great food and great service. Creative and well executed British Indian food with excellent vegetarian and vegan options.

Love it here. The decor is lovely. You can see the kitchen & chefs working. Thank you to the team for squeezing us in. Best to book in advance but the team are accommodating. Food is delicious. Lamb cutlets cooked to perfection. Beautifully pink inside. The house chicken was delicious & tender. Definitely order the black daal. The food is full of flavour & a fun fusion between Indian & British cuisine.

Came here with my wife and two young children. Very welcoming restaurant, very playful with the children, and the food was FANTASTIC!

Tasty food quick service and lovely staff

Amazing food came here from NeoTaste and did not disappoint! Hocine and diskha served me they were amazing !! 100/10 would recommend !!!!

Had their honey buttermilk chicken (heavy flavour wise but very tasty), had their bone marrow naan - HIGHLY recommend - with a side of buttermilk sauce. Delicious !

I really liked it. Service is a bit impersonal... reference is made to the small menu that can be accessed by telephone. Cozy with flair and great food.

Amazing food! Service was fabulous, especially Hocin 😊

Welcoming and smiling team for delicious cuisine... To do

Wow what an amazing place. The food was incredible with some great recommendations from the manager on what to try. He was also great fun and made the evening for us. It’s not your traditional Indian food but wow it was so flavoursome. Will definitely return here when we’re back in London

Lovers of oriental flavors, we were captivated by the quality and flavor of the dishes. The view of the open kitchen is a plus. Nothing to say about the service.

There were two of us there. The food was a dream, as was the selection. I love it when I can see the kitchen and here you look straight into it when you come in. The service was super nice, we felt very comfortable. We had the cauliflower, the paneer, naan and dal and everything was delicious.

The chicken tendori is excellent, like everything else on the menu. I highly recommend for a quick and quality meal.

Este restaurante tenía un buen ambiente y estaba muy ocupado la noche que visitamos. Nos dieron una buena mesa y nuestro camarero era muy agradable y eficiente. La comida llegó rápidamente y era muy sabroso. Sentí que las porciones podrían haber sido un poco más grandes por el precio. En general, muy agradable y probablemente volvería cuando vuelva a Londres.

Really tasty tandoori food. Well done.

An enjoyable meal. It was our first time at Tandoor Chop House and we were impressed with the food, very vibrant and very tasty. The staff were accommodating, too. The only thing is the music was so loud and they were playing pop songs. It didn't feel very authentic at all. It would have been nice to listen to music which felt more authentic with the food. I would recommend for the quality of the food!

Phenomenal food, excellent wine and staff were on point. A must for anyone visiting the Strand.

The food and service were great.

I wonder why there seems to be no curry to choose during dinner. Waiter took the plate and sauce too early

Hosain was very friendly on arrival, food was delicious, we really enjoyed the experience and will be returning!

I recently dined at Tandoor Indian Restaurant and had an incredible experience. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked. The service was equally impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, and accommodating, making sure everything was just right. One thing that really stood out was how quickly the food came out, which was a pleasant surprise. Even better, I was able to make a small change to my order with no hassle at all. The restaurant has a great atmosphere as well – warm, inviting, and perfect for a cozy meal. Overall, Tandoor is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys Indian cuisine. I highly recommend it!

Great atmosphere, great dishes and a great waiter who advised us on lots of great things and who took the time with us. Honestly a great restaurant

Excellent !! 10/10 Very warm welcome, impeccable food quality.

Cosy, wood panelled dining room tucked away behind one of London's busiest attractions - this place is a real gem. We booked a table here via OpenTable because we were in the area, and meeting a friend for lunch. In my reservation I requested a high chair and when we turned up at the restaurant, sure enough one was waiting at our table. Courses were served quickly and staff were able to recommend dishes and answer questions. We were all very impressed with the level of service and quality of the food, considering the prices which are very affordable / reasonable, especially given the famous location.

A bit overpriced + the waiters didn’t react in any way to hearing us getting engaged the same day and ordering sparkling wine with the food

Refined Indian food, friendly and attentive staff

Love love love this restaurant. Everything was delicious. Some stand outs was the cod and lamb chops for sure. And naan!!! The chicken Caesar salad was so delicious A perfect combination of sweet and seasoning. Dreaming about it.

Excellent food. Never had a duff meal here!

I love everything about this place!

Group of six tackled three thalis. Delicious food at a good price - authentic Indian food. All meat dishes were good alongside the bread selection, paneer and black dal.

Very nice place to dine. Food was very good, staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very nice. Make sure you make a reservation to be on the safe side, it was quite busy the evening we went, so you may not have a spot. Absolutely recommended if you are in London!

Very good. Beautiful environment and very good service THANKS

Fantastic service and food. This is a must visit. Best lamb chops I’ve ever had 👌

Delicious unique food, highly recommend!

Inventive and delicious modern South Asian food. Lovely staff. Book, and don't be late... Rightly in demand. Perfect location for National Gallery.

Absolutely the most delicious Indian food we had in London. We went in at 3pm or so after many hours of touring after a friend recommended this place to us. Very happy we found it and went in. The lovely hostess recommended these dishes to us and every last bite was so flavorful and scrumptious. Highly recommend if you like Indian food flavors!

If you are reading this, then I highly recommend trying this restaurant!! It was so good we plan on going back at least once, if not more, before we depart London!! We had bhel, black daal, Amristsari lamb chops, Mamapen naan, and nimbu masala fries. Finger licking good!!

There was a delay getting our table, but the staff were good enough to offer us free drinks for the inconvenience. We went for the big feast. It was excellent with incredible flavours. Massive portions and good value considering how much we ate. I'd definitely recommend

Been here a few times on Sunday for the Thali. It USED to be great. Last time we went the Thali had been replaced with a set menu “feast” costing more and containing mainly salads and cauliflower.

What a supreme delight....wow. I don't think any other establishment I've been to including a fair few Michelin star/s restaurants can pull off such yummy naans like The Tandoor Chophouse. The seekh kebabs also top, kashmir side potatoes waahhh!!! I loved the butter chicken naan and chickpea chart....my only gripe is I didn't have enough room to try more delicious food. Excellent service and the food is the bomb 💣 👌 😋. Lovely history to the place and lively atmosphere....put it on your list and go there.

Went twice in 3 days because the Naan and black pepper tandoor chicken was so damn good.
