Tandoor Chop House in City of London, Westminster

Not the cheapest, but it delivers every time!

The mightly Sunday thali was fantastic. Service was great and we had an amazing lunch during our trip. Recommend the thali and Indian lemonade. It will be our go-to Indian restaurant in London now.

Amazing service, amazing food, great atmosphere! A joy from start to finish!

Simply delicious. Fantastic modern interpretation of tandoori dishes. Wonderful cocktails and the service was very kindly able to accommodate us showing up early. I would not hesitate to recommend dining here.

Great service. Well welcomed. The food is very tasty ! I recommend.

Super nice. Hot honey chicken and butter naan its excelent. The seekh kebab is spicy 🌶️

The food is really over priced for what it is. It’s just ok. Waiter was a bit clueless and added extra food to our order and bill. Also really kind of them to add a charity donation to my bill to without my consent. I asked them to do something for a special celebration but it was forgotten, but I saw them do something for a birthday celebration while we were there. I’d avoid this place personally.

Friendly, very tasty. Highly recommended!

Great food and really professional quick service.

Located a short walk from Charing Cross tube and train station just off the strand. Nice wood based panel interior with long table in the middle with round tables and larger Booths on the left wall and smaller booths for two on the right wall. Kitchen window allows a view into the working of the kitchen and the cooks. Selection of menus from Ala carte, Thali for more than two person and three course lunch and dinner. Had the chicken tandoori- half a chicken- two pieces but both leg pieces, could be shared out by two person. Very flavoursome with the spices in the top but the interior was tad bit dry. The naan with bone marrow was very good. The onion topping on the naan was cooked in bone marrow and tasted nice a rich. Could come back to try out the thali/ three. course. Noice levels high as ceiling is concrete and therefore no noise absorption.

The food is good but lacking nuance in its execution. Luckily, the cuisine relies on strong flavours in which case the conveyor belt style food prep is adequate. The cauliflower croquettes were pureed to the consistency of dense textureless baby food. The hot honey chicken is very sweet and quite gloopy, recalling sugary American-Chinese cuisine. The famed lamb chops are slathered with a piquant marinade (which does all the heavy lifting in making the chops sufficiently flavoursome). But these could have been finished with more attention, e.g., searing them at a very high temperature so they would be redolent of the grill. This is a cheerful and fun eatery with a convivial, if raucous, atmosphere. The service is brisk, efficient and friendly. I'm glad we tried it. But I'm unlikely to return. All that said, however, this is a reasonable choice for a lively pre-theatre meal.

Sensational discovery. Immaculate dishes and generous portion sizes. Like a better, less pretentious Dishoom. Will 100% be back.

What i nice place to visit. I ordered chicken butter and naan. I liked it. It wasn’t an Indian restaurant as I expected but it was quite tasty options. I recommend adding Rice to the menu. The restaurant is not Indian, but they have a few simple dishes I ordered the chicken butter and naan bread, which were delicious, but unfortunately the restaurant does not provide rice, so I felt my order was a little incomplete.

Food was uncooked and had no test and flavour. Not enough curry for number of naans . Bit disappointed because we've been looking forward to eating and making a special trip to London for Sunday special thali.

I love the lamb chops and cauliflower balls, but others not quite my things. not bad tho. Ice cream was a bit less than expected, too sweet. Custome service was good, very friendly and quick!

Amazing place to unwind and eat. We enjoyed it much more than some of the more hyped Indian food spots in London. Get the ribeye!!!!

Delicious Northern Indian Food . Tried the Hot Honey Chicken and the Paneer both excellent. Will definitely come back

What a nice little place, food is spot on, no rice just Tandoori dishes with Naan. Onion bhaji rings were less bhaji and more battered onion rings, lovely nonetheless with an excellent dipping sauce. A little on the expensive side, but not unexpected for it's proximity to Trafalgar Square. The taste of the food sells this place.

Hours do not match - kitchen closed early so just double check

Nice setting, great food, try their Chickpea rotis, so crisp and delicious!

Food was very tasty! Recommended!

We visited for the Sunday Thali We got the meat Thali and we would say it was good but nothing special/amazing The lamb chops were the best but everything else was average So much food and they seemed annoyed that we wanted to pack the rest of it away Wouldn't say it was good value for money overall Though, great location and lovely venue Service was also good Would not be in a rush to return but wouldn't mind coming back

To be honest, the food was too plain. Chicken thighs a bit marinated with i dian spices and roti bread. No, no, I would expect a bit more effort into preparing food that would cost as much. You can get better thighs at the grocery store and barbecue them and add bread on the side. For 1/10 of the price ..

food was as good as service (from the two men attending us) was bad. if you can get past the attitude, you will enjoy exceptionally flavoured tandoori (we shared the house chicken, paneer, cauliflower, and pineapple). naan as fluffy as heaven

Was told had to order 3 thali’s when we wanted to order 2 to share between 3 of us. One thali was brought to table & definitely did not look like it was 3 put together in one.. wish I had taken a picture of it to post.. extremely over priced £150 including a bottle of fizz..food wasn’t even that great either will definitely not be going back there.. daylight robbery… Nash the server was very sweet & polite though.

Food is delicious and service top notch. We always come here before we go to the theatre. Would highly recommend

Very good, you really should visit. Especially the “Hot Chicken”

The food is overly priced. Service is poor & unwelcoming. We asked for 2 portions of thali but the manager (Caucasian man) refused and said we should order 3 as there were 3 of us. He didn't even bother asking if one us wanted something different. When I asked the same manager to adjust the A/C as it was too warm. He responded. "People have different temperature preferences." When the bill arrived, we nearly fell out of our chairs! We were charged over £100.00 for mediocre food, appalling customer service, & lack of ambiance. This is the worst restaurant I've been since arriving in London!

Thank you, Gabi and Nash, for your amazing service, recommendation, and attention to our needs and desires. I had dinner at Tandoor yesterday and it was a spectacular experience. Cuisine of Indian inspiration, a different way of cooking chicken and bread, (they cook it in large clay barrels), I will show you a video. Cauliflower croquettes, exquisite, served with a very delicate blue cheese sauce. The warm pitta bread, freshly taken from those barrels, some butter on top make us enjoy our chicken our skewers of lemon chicken. The butter chicken naan, combined with various vegetables, with a honey sauce, made our experience and tasting the best of the last few days. The dessert was a delicious mango sorbet, and a delicate warm pitta bread, with Nutella and coconut ice cream, was a perfect combination to dream about. I recommend TANDOOR to everyone who wants to have a different experience tasting the flavour of cooking in clay barrels. It is something that undoubtedly makes a difference. ❤️ it.

Very good indian restaurant - got recomended to me in a youtube video - didnt disappoint

Tandoori Chop House was one of a few restaurants on our “go to” list when in the city of London. Regrettably we will be scrubbing it out for future visits. Whilst our last visit was ok - that is actually all it was.. ok. There appears to have been changes to the menu. We shared a flat bread for starters, the name of which escapes me but ham and mustard is not something I want here. My wife’s main course. Another new addition to the menu, was very much crispy chicken with sweet chilli sauce. Chinese food? So whilst the food we had was, as mentioned, ok. It no longer ranks as something special and so our most recent visit will regrettably be our last

Omg this is my favorite restaurant of all time! Don’t stop but run here! Everything is delicious and fresh!. Service was outstanding!

Omg the best Indian food in London and that’s saying a lot!

We live in London and eat out 3-5 times a week.This restaurant ranks the very worst we have eaten at in the past 3 years i can remenber.It appears to serve mainly Tourists who have no idea of a normal Indian Restaurant menu in UK,let alone London.The "Hot starters" arrived luke warm and pretty tasteless.Whilst the chicken main dishes were served hot the sides were just about adequate.To add the final insult to our meal,the Bill was delivered without request and whilst one of our party was still eating their desert.I did not enjoy the unusual flavours of the main course and was surprised at how spicy the chicken was.Apparently it is a very popular restaurant,why,i have no idea.

THIS PLACE WAS SOOOO YUMMY and the service was amazing eat here

Food was very good. I recommend the hot honey chicken special. Service was horrible. The staff were hanging out by the bar most of my visit. They came to take my order and then didn’t revisit my table until I was nearly done with my meal. They didn’t ask me how it was or if I needed anything instead towards the end of my meal they attempted to clear my plate 3 times.

Amazing and super tasty. Left feeling satisfied and stuffed with wonderful and interesting food. It is pricey but well worth the experience.

What a fantastic find little find off Trafalgar Square! Beautiful authentic food and if you like thali than Sunday it’s a day to visit this restaurant.

Sandip, our server, was brilliant. Excellent recommendations on the cauliflower bite and seekh kebab starters followed by tandoori lamb chops and tandoori chicken with a chilli/garlic naan. Washed down with white rhino ipa. And great value too. Will be back. Thank you Sandip!

An ok experience. Service was ok - took a while to take an initial drinks order after being sat down. But after that, they were pretty attentive. Food was nice, nothing particularly special especially at the prices. Portions are small.

When you are asked to pay the equivalent of AUD $13 for a small bottle of beer you can't help feeling raped. However.... Beer matching to food exquisite Beetroot kebabs A1 I may have been the victim of too many overcooked, dried out tandoor meals in the past but this tandoor was superb. Beautifully cooked and perfectly spiced tandoor lamb and the naan and black dal were equally spot on. Service great. Background music great. Ambience thumbs up.

Certainly worth a visit! The allure painted on their Instagram page is quite enticing. Our overall experience was good, and giving it a try is definitely recommended. However, the likelihood of a return visit is not high for me. Despite booking two months in advance with heightened expectations, there was a bit of letdown with some dishes that didn't quite match our taste, resulting in a noticeable amount of waste. It's essential to note that we approached this visit with enthusiasm, wondering what unique experience we might be missing out on. Nonetheless, we're content with having tried it, even if it might not make it to our list of repeat destinations. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lovely atmosphere, attentive service, absolutely delicious food. Very reasonably priced for big portions and lovely dishes. The perfect menu for trying a bit of everything. I’ve had lots of lovely Indian food around Central London but Tandoor Chophouse is up there with one of my favourites.

Came here after a matinee at the theatre. We were early for our reservation but seated very quickly. We opted for the big feast - the food came out really quickly and I cannot fault it at all! There was more than enough food for the two of us and everything was DELICIOUS! Chicken was super tender, daal was smoky and tasty and the chaat was so fresh. Would definitely return, thanks for having us!

Acceptable food, not very generous in quantity. They should fix the seats, my pocket got caught and I lost €200, because if not for that, I don't understand how that could be the price for 2 naan, 2 starters and 2 mains with 4 beers

Love the Sunday thali! Perfect combination with the right level of spice

Really enjoyed the sharing thali - wish that the lamb chops had also been halal as only the chicken was. Could do with some rice and less naan but lovely concept and staff were friendly.

All plates are carefully selected and prepared. Service is fast and kind, the prices are not bad. This is a modern and good Indian restaurant.

Always Delicious, Always amazing, always worth it. It's been 6 years never ever disappointed. Highly recommend if you haven't been and Anglo Indian Food authentic to it's core is your thing

Tracked this down on Tripadvisor and it didn’t disappoint. They were full when we arrived as hadn’t booked but we were soon sorted. The smells were great while we waited and the food looked good to get the juices flowing. Didn’t get an excellent because they forgot our starter and the toilets needed tidying up a bit 👍 Would recommend and very handily close to Embankment and Charing Cross station. Have the chicken…delicious

Decent food but can do better. 1 curry and rice/biryani could be added in mighty Thali. Smoked pineapple is not a desert,please change this for sure

Really disappointing big birthday celebration. There were 20 of us on 2 tables in the restaurant. I made the reservation months in advance with a lovely male member of staff over the phone and it was a big family get together. On the day the food was all delicious but the staff were so unwelcoming and rude. Not accommodating with a buggy and didn’t do anything extra for my 30th, we had to ask. Considering we spent £600+ it was just so disappointing. I’ve wanted to go to this restaurant for years because I’d seen the Thalis on Instagram but I’d think twice about going back and wouldn’t recommend it.

Our team came here for a lunch adventure We all really enjoyed it! Great food, great service The lamb chops, chaat, butter chicken and everything really were highlights 😊

This small place feels pretty well managed and comfortable. I thought that some of the dishes were delicious, but others just so-so. This inconsistency feels like it comes from a bunch of cooks in the back with decent recipes, but the lack of a head chef tasting things and supervising before food goes out. I loved the chickpea chaat, perfect blend of spices, saltiness, and tamarind. But then, coming out of the same kitchen was tandoori chicken that looked good but was bland and expressionless. The beetroot kebabs were brilliant, chewy and tasty - but then the naan and roti breads were missing something, and I am a total sucker for freshly cooked bread. The black urad dal was pretty good although with some sort of dark burnt flavour like overfried mustard seeds or too much mustard oil. The chicken Ceasar salad was really nothing special, bland. The baby radish and hummus dish needed salt and seemed too oily. The dessert kulfi on a stick was nice. Service was very attentive and prompt. On the whole I think that this place is churning out decent food but needs some better oversight.

Very nice Indian restaurant! Definitely recommend the hot honey chicken dish.

Had the Thali-for-Two. Pretty good.

A good Sunday lunch dinner - immense amount of food albeit lots of small portions all combined. Very good flavours and would recommend. Quite punchy on a price but felt good value

Had this place on my to go list for quite some time & finally had a chance to go. All that time waiting and was not disappointed. The food I had really was top notch, with the crispy lamb chops meeting expectations but the roasted pineapple dessert exceeding them. If in the mood for an alcoholic drink I would highly recommend the pale ale from India too. What really put the icing on this though was the friendliness of the staff and the ambience generated. Well worth the wait!

Great food, just a tier below unbelievable. Really nice staff and atmosphere.

Food was fantastic. Particularly the hot honey chicken. Amazing bursts of flavour in everything we ordered ate. Just a bit dark in the restaurant.

Jumbo thaali .. what a platter .. Nice one .. 👍

We visited the Tandoor chop house for my husbands birthday and our 10th wedding anniversary. We had the Mighty Thali and oh my was it mighty in every way! Mighty on taste (just delicious!), mighty in value and the restaurant was mighty is ambiance - Absoultely delightful in every way. We were also treated to a sweet naan as dessert (on the house) for my husbands birthday (and our anniversary). Such a lovely touch and welcomed surprise. We will definitely be coming back!

Overpriced touristy place. £17 got me two bits of chicken. I won’t be rushing back for sure. It’s just to expensive for what it is. Not recommended.

Best Indian around, fully recommended 👌

As name suggests it’s specialised only in Tandoor Chop, so yes most of the items were like that only. Taste was like Indian authentic restaurant. Prior booking recommended to avoid any hassle.

Had a lovely meal at Tandoor Chop House for my boyfriend’s birthday. Service was fast and the food was beautiful. We were even treated to a birthday dessert which was unexpected and delicious. We’ll definitely visit again!

Unfortunately, we were very disappointed. We had reserved a table two months in advance for a New Year's Eve dinner. However, when we arrived (15 minutes before our reservation), we were informed that an attempt had been made to call us to notify that the kitchen would be closing at our reservation time. For a reservation made two months in advance, it was surprising to hear from the owner that they tried to reach us on New Year's Eve to change our reservation. The early closure on December 31st should have been mentioned at the time of booking. Out of consideration for us, the staff did keep the kitchen open longer, as per the waiter. When ordering our food, we felt rushed with remarks like 'please place your order as the kitchen is closing, it's New Year's Eve and we too want to go home to celebrate.' The food was mediocre, nothing special, particularly as we only had 30 minutes to dine. Overall, due to the poor organization, the rudeness, and the passable food, I cannot recommend this place.

Good tandoori and naan.Other dishes uninspiring.Saag served almost cold. Service is slow,disorganised and inattentive.Guy on the door is inhospitable.

We had the mighty thali here this week. Many of the items were delicious, but we found the meal overall to be very dry - there were dips and a daal, but no sauces or yoghurt to add some moisture. There was also no rice and no classic Indian deserts, merely grilled pineapple for the latter. Service was very attentive, but the venue itself was spoiled by the loud bass heavy music. They really do not need four massive speakers for one room. All-in-all we were disappointed.

Short but interesting menu including good veggie options - highly recommended if you can get a table!

We had the lunch time Thali and enjoyed the food. My only feedback would be that I'd give is that more spice on the food would have been appreciated.

Delicious food, friendly service and a wonderfully inviting atmosphere.

Great vibe, and fantastic food. Really busy but would expect that with such amazing Tandoori food! Try everything, it is all amazing! The chops as you would expect are just awesome!

Absolutely superb! Far from the obvious and overdone Indian cuisine, original dishes with superb flavours and well sourced produce - the fish was sensational 👏 👏 👏

This is not your usual curry house. We had a feast sharing menu which was great value at around £50 a head. The food was beautiful and light and the service was good. Possibly too many seats in there, it all felt very close up...

So me and my cousin lot went here to eat dinner. I would say it was average. It was not the best experience if I’m honest. Me and my cousin lot went home farting all the way! Gassy. Also the tea (masala tea) seemed to be a day old (not fresh). This they deducted off the bill to be fair which was good. Overall certain dishes were ok. Maybe it was an off day. I don’t know.

Can go for chicken tandoori !!!! they never failed my two times visit. Very juicy and melting 🎈

The environment was good, a variety of naans. I liked the meat dishes than the curries.

Came across this place recently when looking something to eat before Theatre show. The front of house staff were really lovely and managed to get us in without a reservation at short notice. All the staff were really helpful attentive and friendly. I had half...

The ambience and layout of the restaurant is lovely and I think the prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and location. I had the whole fish which was delicious and the chat to start was nice too. However I couldn’t help but...

Great place near Trafalgar Square. Make reservations even for party of two. Excellent food. Atmosphere a little loud in evening, but not too bad. Fun for family dinner outing and groups.

Visited here last night as a group of 9. I had been before and my experience wasn’t as good as previously. We had a reservation but weren’t able to get on our table until 20 mins after. The staff were largely unapologetic other than showing me how busy they are. We had to wait outside in the cold. As we were a group booking we had to have the festive menu - this is generous and filling but a little unusual and not as appealing as the a la carte offering. If felt a little understaffed and the service was on the slow side. I suspect this was why they were running late on the bookings. Despite my disappointment I would go back as it is a nice concept but probably not as a group.

Awesome, second visit still as good as the first. You need to book it is normally busy. It is quite expensive but great food . Will certainly visit again.

Lamb chops were delicious, cooked so well. Bone marrow naan was great too

What a wonderful meal,my daughter and I shared the smaller plates.Wow they packed a punch of flavours! Incredible chickpea chat so good I asked for the recipe. Ambience warm and friendly.Keep up the good work and we will be coming back *****

Went for some dinner before a show. Great spot in an otherwise busy area. Up there with Dishoom.

ممتاز جداً لازم حجز ومافي رز اطلب تندوري تشيكن خيييال

Very disappointing experience, the food wasn't good overall, only the nann bread was good. I've never had any salad that I don't like and it was literally the worst flavour ever, the cauliflowers were undercooked. The service was OK except one of the waitress threw my food straight into the bin while I asked her to take them away, guess it was lost in translation I will never wanna go back.

Overall the food and the place are very nice and great in taste and flavour but unfortunately, it was not possible to enjoy at all the horrible customer service! We booked a table for 4 for 9.15 and the waitress after a couple of minutes rushed to tell us the kitchen was closing very soon (9.30 ish), so we quickly ordered everything. While we were eating the staff ( around 9.50 ish. ) started clearing up the restaurant placing upside down the chairs on the table ( we were the last client ). We complained about it as they made an effort to rush and make feelings weird and to eat. Regarding our complaint to the waitress, we think the manager / is responsible for that night (a lady with blond hair ) her response was we are closing at 11.00 pm and you are the last client so we did this ext.We asked if we had time to have our dinner at a reasonable time and asked why they had last booked at 9.15 pm if they aren't able to do a good service to clients or give to the stander 2 hrs for 4 people. The food was worth the visit but this horrible customer service made us very upset and unhappy to ever book again.

So disappointed in the food the hot butter chicken was not at all tasty so plain definitely not hot!! The side dishes were also terrible just bland !! No taste at all So expensive would not recommend Started we’re ok

Definitely worth going if you like spicy Indian food. Not the traditional Indian food restaurants and all the Tandoori dishes were really good and a special recommendation for the lamb chops. The different naans were great in particular the one with bone marrow. Reservations are recommended and you can do it via their website.

Food fresh and cook super well each dish was super Love the meat and bread. All herbal sauce tasted fresh Very well cook Roast cauliflower was incredible

Restaurant que je recommanderais a 100%. Nous nous sommes régalés!

Amazing lamb chops and honey chicken! Really good service and I would highly recommend visiting! 4 stars for food due to one of their signature dishes - tandoori chicken was super dry and chai was overpowered with spices in particular cardamom

medium quality Indian food with cheap price. Based on the waiter who served us, I would not recommend and would never visit again. He placed the plates on our table rudely, and didn’t even feel sorry? horrible attitude, felt sorry for him for lack of basic manners. Just sad.

Un-freakin believable ! Best lunch to be had in London. Love the Indian fusion vibe!

We had the Sunday Thali and it was delicious and a good size. Service was friendly and efficient too

I love the food here. The variety. Everything is just so delicious. Friendly staff too. I especially love the small bites when I’m in a hurry

We tried the Mighty Sunday Thali, there were some real stars in the thalli such as the lamb chops which were spicy and extremely juicy ( a bit of Lahore kebab house meet Birgadiers). The chicken tikka was very soft I have tried places where they struggle to get amount of perfect cooking for malai tikkas. The daal was pretty good and the assortment of naan was good too. Having said that the disappointment was the dessert which is grilled pineapple , this maybe my taste buds but grilled pineapple sprinkle with cooked Paan masala was just too funky for my taste buds and was my least favourite of the menu.
