Tandoor Chop House in City of London, Westminster

It's close to the London Charing cross Station. The food was delicious and juicy as it's presented on the plate. Would definitely recommend everyone to give a taste of the food. Loved it 👌🥗😋

I would not eat there again! I did not like the food, we got plenty of different dishes, they did not feel like Indian food at all. They do not offer rice, which I found extremely weird

Absolutely amazing food and atmosphere would highly recommend

The food was delicious! Excellent service. Overall a fantastic dining experience. Thanks!

This is one of our favourite spots for a pre theatre meal. The menu is interesting and the food is usually good quality, cooked well and doesn't take too long to arrive. They have an interesting cocktail list and an appropriate selection of beers and wines. The service is brisk and efficient and the ambience relaxed and casual.

I have nothing but praise for this small, discreet restaurant tucked away on a side street in the middle of a very busy area. It’s the only place I could think of around Covent Garden where you can simply turn up unannounced on a hectic Easter Saturday afternoon and still get a table for a group. The restaurant is cosy and beautifully designed – a real respite from the madness happening just outside. The relaxed atmosphere transports you to another country, and to a different time. You sit down, and all the stress just peels away. Now, the food – it’s excellent. I’ve eaten here a few times and always left feeling very happy. You can read more in the other reviews, but what we ordered was exceptional: the black pepper chicken, coronation chicken Caesar salad, black dal and chilli potatoes – all packed with flavour and a real treat for the palate. The only watch-out for the owners is to make sure the staff are a bit more familiar with what’s on the menu. The lovely girl looking after us couldn’t explain any of the dishes – not a single ingredient, apart from “it has chicken”. I suggested she ask the kitchen, but after trying three times, I gave up.

Great everything! We had a wonderful experience.

Not many options for vegetarian dishes . Not worth the money. There are better restaurants in London. Dhal Makhani was good.

In love with their black pepper chicken, simply superb.

Welcoming and helpful staff, the food is typical Indian and the place typical English. Everything excellent, fair prices. Advise!

Food was good but place was v stuffy. Felt more like a museum than a restaurant. Good for old people.

Nathan was a great server. Helped us choose a course of dinner and made wonderful suggestions. And now he has directed us to Egg Break which we’ll try later this week!

Amazing food. Especially the fish was outstandingly good.

Delicious food, this place is true gem!

Amazing food! Must try the Nutella Naan with Coconut Ice Cream!

Outstanding experience at the Sunday Thali. Amazing food, incredible flavours, wonderful and friendly service. Highly recommend!

Awesome food. Great pre-theatre spot.

Amazing food. Good portion sizes. Gave me a birthday naan desert which was delicious.

Had a lovely meal.. the black Dahl was amazing!

This place is pretty much one of our favourite restaurants to head to! Great food and great service. Cannot recommend the black dahl enough!

Great food and service. Definitely worth going.

Music too loud and dint reflect the mood of the place. A shame

I can confidently say this is the most authentic and finger-licking, desi-style tandoor place in town. Every single dish was amazing!

Lovely authentic and delicious food service was spot on thankyou Jas from Canberra Australia🇦🇺

Lovely spot and fantastic food :)

One of my favourites. The Chickpea Chaat here is one of the best individual dishes I have ever had in a restaurant. Thanks for such great food! Thanks to Nash for his great service!

Food was great. Ambiance is unique and compelling. I loved it from the second I walked in.

Wonderful mean in a relaxing environment. Some of the best tandoori food we have ever had!

Authentic North Indian tandoori food!!! They should try to have the small thali available all 7 days - lunch and dinner and mega thali for both meals on the weekend.

No tan grandioso thali Desafortunadamente no puedo compartir las muchas críticas positivas a pesar del servicio amable y el buen ambiente Muy decepcionante thali, más chapuzones para tu naan que cualquier otra cosa, Porciones de carne muy malas , 2 chuletas de cordero, un plato pequeño de pollo al curry, un par de trozos de pollo tandoori No muy generoso IMHO muy sobrevalorado , mala relación calidad-precio del premio solicitado, Pieza extra de naan cobrada en £ 5. 00 cada uno, dame un descanso, Unas cuantas botellas de cobra y una Coca-Cola Dietética llegaron a £ 141. 00 incluyendo 15. 50 cargos por servicio. Me sentí un poco estafado ya que estaba pagando y me pidieron que añadiera una propina a la tarifa del servicio. Realmente no puedo recomendar

Food was very flavorful! Definitely a place to visit when I come back.

A absolute wonderful experience!

I tried the thali (fixed menu with an assortment of dishes) a while ago, which was great and I thought I should give this place another try. This time around I picked a few items from the a la carte menu. The tandoori chicken and paneer were good. However the dhal disappointed. No one adds chilli powder to a dish after it has cooked. It's just not a very pleasant flavour. The butter chicken and bone marrow naan were ok but left aside for a minute and they turned soggy. Please serve the sauce separately in a tiny sauce bowl. This would make it a better experience. Just as you are looking at margins I am looking at an elevated experience for the money I pay.

The food and service were really extremely top! Unfortunately, the ventilation is extremely loud... that's a bit annoying.

Never disappoints, fantastic food as always

Really good food, staff are a bit absent and don't really engage. Lacks friendliness but the food is good.

Came out came after the theater because we fancied some indian food. The place had a nice cozy feel but a somewhat limited menu. I was surprised you couldn't order items that were in the family style meal, which i felt limited our options. No drinks on tap from what I could tell. Staff was a little short in manner, informing us that the kitchen was about to close before we were even greeted properly.

tasty and worth every penny sunday set menu, lovely service and lovely atmosphere! thank you :)

The cauliflower and bone marrow Naan were amazing. Service was great. The Punjabi sour andaam nirayli drinks were splendid. 10/10

The place is very nice and well located, we arrived with high expectations but in the end wasn’t worth it. The food was okay, good but not exceptional if compared to the price. What has really annoyed was the service. We were the last booking of the day and it was clear that they just wanted to be done with their shift, so when we asked questions about the dishes they had on menù they didn’t really help us, all they did was pressuring us to order saying “after your order the kitchen will close”. In one hour we were out and we didn’t enjoy the dinner at all. If you want to go, make sure to reserve early

I can only give it 5 because everything was so good! We had all the starters a la carte, the chicken Tandoor and the sea bream one, cocktails, a dal, cheese naan… Everything is tasty, the cooking is perfect and the naans 😍😍😍 never had such good naans! It was my daughter's birthday, they had some attention for her, it was really nice! I really don't regret choosing this restaurant.

Can’t recommend this place highly enough. The food was just delicious with friendly service.

Everything was delicious, tried the tandoori chicken, the potatoes and the naan and the service was exceptional , definitely recommend and coming back!!

What a shame! We spent over £50 only to walk out, check their Instagram and find that at the time we went (Monday between 3pm-5pm) there was a deal for all walk-ins to get 50% off! Did the staff happen to conveniently forget this? 🤔... Don't dupe your customers just to make a quick £, very unprofessional. Spoiled an otherwise excellent experience. 5 star tandoori grill, 1 star customer service! And to think I'd had this on my want-to-go list for 2 years!👎

We had the Big Feast menu, and with three different starters and three main courses, that's really a large amount. Everything was delicately seasoned and original, really a dream - but we didn't quite make it and then skimped on dessert. If you're not really hungry, you're better off with an individual selection. Good white house wine, mostly attentive service, not quite until the end of the meal.

Loved everything! Will definitely return and recommend 🤩

The best Indian food we had during our 5 days stay in London! Couldn’t stop eating

Go there !!! It might not be THE most beautiful place but it is for sure one of - if not - the best place for Indian food in London !!! And - the service guy is a „must-have-and-know“ !!!

Incredibly delicious Indian food in a very cozy and busy place. Tip ; reserve a spot.

Pedí el pollo pimienta, un - mantecado naan y la ensalada. El pollo tenía poco sabor. El naan primero vino cubierto de mantequilla e incluso sin ella era pequeño y poco impresionante. La ensalada era pequeña y en gran parte cebolla. Una comida muy decepcionante, sin duda no vale la pena el costo.

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

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

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

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

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!

Food is amazing and the staff are great!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
