Tandoor Chop House in City of London, Westminster

Wonderful food, deliciously spicy, and adequate portions. We ordered several dishes to share and sample different flavors, and each was a true taste experience. The service is a bit slow for the small restaurant, and it's also rushed, with little opportunity to ask questions about the dishes. It's well located.

Shouts to the manager who found us a spot! The food, the team the care they take. This place is an essential visit. Put your name down for a table, go for a walk work up an appetite and order the Big Feast! You will not be disappointed! Any place that has a photo of an Amritsar Kulcha spot you know it’s gonna be good. Looking forward to coming back soon on next trip!

Went during the afternoon. The restaurant was quiet with only 6 other customers, so a vibrant atmosphere can not be expected. Service and knowledge by and of the staff was excellent. Food was served after a reasonable time and was absolutely delicious. No complaints at all. Overall, a great meal, if a little pricey, remember card payment only,, no cash accepted.

Everything was extremely delicious, I strongly recommend

I've been to this place a few times now, food was amazing, service was great, I would definitely recommend this place, the only bad points are that they don't accept cash anymore or American express, I hope they change that soon

Absolutely phenomenal meal. Please give this place and try and come hungry! It was so so GOOD!!!

Very decent food. Extremely limited options, especially for veggies. They don't even offer rice and probably like 2 main course dishes. And we still ended up paying £80 without drinks. 2 pieces of tandoori chicken for £17 was absurdly expensive. The naan variety was but very small size for £5-6. Don't think it's sufficient for even 1 person. Overall, quite average food but very expensive.

Food was very good. I got the chicken tikka. It’s not a traditional Indian restaurant with curries and sauces, the dishes are mainly meat and then they have sides you kind of have to buy to make it a complete meal. The chicken tikka was very flavorful and delicious, the dishes lacked the creativity needed to bump it to a 5 star, but what they do they do very well. Naan bread wasn’t as fluffy as I’m used to but it was great still. Great vibes, wooden walls with fun white tile floors. A bit overpriced but still worth it. Probably worth it to get a reservation but we walked in and got seated immediately, all the tables were full though soon after.

Incredible food and service, great variety of dishes, staff we lovely! Music needs rethinking.

Fantastic service by the man at the door and the waitress at the table. Food was superb and the atmosphere was great. Highly recommended!

such a great experience!! we had a booking (and it was pretty full on a wednesday evening, so i recommend having a reservation). we got lychee martinis, butter chicken naan, the hot honey special, and black pepper tandoori… wow!!! so good, and reasonably priced. everything was great, i will totally be back!! ◡̈

So far the best naan bread and tandooris I’ve ever had. I can say it is pricy for a casual food but it is worth it.

We tried Vegetarian and Non vegetarian both the cuisines but there was no gravy and on top of it the staff was not at all open to hear the advices or requests. We totally felt wasting our money over here and the service is totally unacceptable and the staff is rude as well.

A decent meal, but nothing particularly memorable.

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

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

Absolutely amazing food and atmosphere would highly recommend

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.

Great everything! We had a wonderful experience.

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.

In love with their black pepper chicken, simply superb.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Delicious food, this place is true gem!

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

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

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

Awesome food. Great pre-theatre spot.

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

Great food and service. Definitely worth going.

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🇦🇺

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.

Lovely spot and fantastic food :)

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

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 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.

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“ !!!

Loved everything! Will definitely return and recommend 🤩

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

Amazing food and friendly service

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

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 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

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.

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
