Tandoori Cottage in Waltham Forest

The quality of the food was poor , around just bearable . It’s clear they are trying to save money at the expense of food quality , would have been better off with beans on toast .

Food was hot on delivery Nice food A bit of heat as well

I was looking for an indian restaurant in north east Greater London & now I have found one. Food is sensibly priced not silly inflated. I had a king prawn balti which came with naan bread for £15 & a bombay potato side for £4, which were very tasty. There are many cheaper options. Menu is quite wide & extensive & covers all curries with meats and fishes. I had a large cider for £5 & a an inexpensive coffee to finish. Waiter service was warm, welcoming, polite & attentive. Well located for Chingford E4 & Walthamstow E17. Very minimally furnished - there's a clock -, no dust traps. fairly large slender long restaurant, one side open other side rocking classic indian staircase balastrade bannister baluster booths.

Amazing very happy with the quality

Missed items, 2 cans of 7up zero, they tried to rectify and came back with two cans of normal 7up - not what I wanted . It also came without the pickle

Some good flavours and it wasn’t too greasy, but the salmon was tough as old boots.

Top quality , great service and food 10/10 .

The food is always so tasty, and freshly prepared. My favourite takeaway, thanks so much!

First time ordering and we were very impressed with the quality of food. Great taste and flavours. Ordered the butter chicken, saag chana and mutton all very delicious. Thank you

We always enjoy our food from here. Very tasty & would recommend it.

Undeniably the best Indian food in Waltham Forest

Great evening with my family and friends. Food was delicious and service was excellent. Definitely worth a visit.

Top marks goes out to all kitchen staff! I highly recommend.

100% recommend others to try this indian restaurant, the food is on point and its absolutely delicious and the staff are very polite and takecare of customers requests. food 10/10 chef needs a award.

Had takeaway recently. 2 x chicken Tikka Masala with very little chicken & super sweet sauce. 1 x chicken Tikka Balti which again was lacking chicken and was overly greasy. If there was one chicken breast split between all 3 dishes then that would be about it! Won’t be going back….

Ordered a takeaway of 3 chicken tikka dishes. I would be very surprised if there was one chicken breast in total across all 3! Also the Balti dish was very greasy. Not many people in the restaurant……I’m not surprised. I would not recommend & definitely will not be going back…..

I have been coming here since I was a kid with my dad and have never had a bad meal and the staff are amazing! I ordered from here last night and the food was superb!! I am now currently planning an evening here with some friends and can’t wait to be back. 11/10 👌🏻

Bhuna curries should be be medium spiced. All of them were very spicy. Some family members can't eat it because of spice allergy.

Soooo good!!! Absolutely delicious 😋

Tandoori Cottage exceeded my expectations! The staff was friendly, and the Tikka Biryani was a flavor-packed delight. The Mixed Grill was also particularly enjoyable. Highly recommend for a satisfying dining experience!

One of the best always use this place take away/eat in never disappointed quality of food is always good and tasty

Wow, all the reviews were true. This restaurant's food is amazing. Absolutely loved every single item. Thank you🙏

Second time ordering, and equally impressed again... early delivery arrival, food top notch.

Always early and food always fantastic plus they use the stamp system. Absolutely love this establishment. Other Indian restaurants in Chingford need to take note.

Not the food quality, but they offer stamps which makes them better than their competitors. 😉

Best Indian food around have tried others but always use tandoori cottage simply the best food is just so good

First time ordering, the food was amazing. I think this will now be our "go to" Indian takeaway - we were that impressed.

Good food Thanks for few free bits!!

I've ordered from this restaurant twice and both times the food was on point. It smelt very nice when opening the food and was very delicious. I haven't has a decent biryani in a while but this one was very nice indeed l. I would definitely order from here again.

always great food and geest service x

Fantastic food and fast delivery. Arrived hot.

As usual all the food was delivered on time. All the food was fresh, flavourful and enjoyable to eat

Great curry as always. Also the staffs are friendly and welcoming. They also kindly explain different types of curries and make suggestions depending on our tastes. We always have excellent dining experience in the restaurant and I highly recommend.

Really delicious food! 😋 I’ve been coming here regularly for the past couple of years with my girlfriend. We really enjoy the excellent food. Service is also great - Abu and his staff are always very friendly and attentive. I particularly like the Fish dishes !

Always great food and service!

Food was delicious. Would recommend and will be using again

Fantastic food! On time hot, delicious, !

Best indian takeaway on this app bar none

My new favourite indian takeaway. Great food and they do stamps unlike the others

I wont be going back too Bollywoods or the Indian Brasserie cause they disabled stamp cards plus they reduced the amount of meat in their portions and I’ve been a long term loyal customer for years. I’ve found a new home :)

I think ive found my new favourite takeaway on here. Better than some others who don’t off you free poppadoms, salad and mint yogurt with your order.

The worst food i have tasted it’s not like curry at all it’s like a. Sweet i have thrown these curries in dustbin waste of moneyy

Thank you as always for the delicious food and great service!

First time ordering was really nice and a very polite delivery driver thank you

Longtime customer recently the Prices have gone up but quality has gone down Lamb pasanda was inedible the lamb was soo tough no one was able to eat it let alone chew it, the bombay potatoes were bland as was the chicken dish. Pretty disappointing overall

I do not oft go online so have not left many reviews - the food at Tandoori Cottage is always delicious and hot on arrival, the portions are generous and each dish has awesome blends of spices to achieve the desired variants in the classic and specialty dishes. The vegetable rice was packed with so many vegetables and wonderful flavours subtle and dancing on the tongue. The chicken jalfrezi was lip smacking good, the poppadoms freshly cooked and perfect, the sides everything we expected and more. Chuffed once again with food quality, quantity and service - highly recommend :-)

The Bombay aloo was off it had a bad smell and the biryanis are very small for the price I paid for also it’s very bland with no taste. It’s normal pillaw rice with chicken mixed in witch is a bump off. I can get you lot done by the health team.

Great food as always Hot, fresh and quickly delivered

Food was OK but nothing special very small portions , Very oiley and came out warm not hot.

Best Indian takeaway I’ve had. Biryani mutton and the tandoori chicken was soft soft and flavoursome

So disapounted about the food The curry and madrass was £1 frozen meal Its not fresh at all

Best Indian in Chingford. Been eating and ordering from here for over 20 years.

Absolutely tasteless - literally just chicken and rice with nothing else. So disappointed as every other meal has always been spot on. Will not be returning.

Delicious vegetable curry, very tasy food!

Amazing onion bhaji. Garlic and pershwari naan were also decent. Other dishes (pilau, mushroom and coconut rice) were sadly bland. Butter chicken was too sweet.Pluses are food delivered in reasonable time and hot but overall experience could be improved.

Terrific Food, Delicious. Thank You

Chicken balti was very bland no flavour did you run spices just as well I had extra naan bread to mop up my tears

Fantastic food delicious poppadoms. Thank you. Nice delivery man. Thank you

Excellent taste from restaurant. Excellent hand over from driver.

Best indian food for miles around A1+++

Everything about the food was great, except for the attitude on the delivery driver. Completely rude!!

I don’t like no more taste was very bad

Food was lovely and flavoursome . Hot too would order again thanks

Samosa was missing from order. The food was ok but over use of fresh tomatoes; in both curries. Bombay potato was quite plain (no mustard seeds just potatoes in a curry sauce) and the chicken tikka main was small pieces of overcooked chicken. Dont like leaving negative reviews but as a chef myself its important to get honest feedback to improve. The Chicken balti was nice.

Good timing good service I got what I ordered

My curry was very salty I couldn't eat it

The food was outstanding, we have ordered from a lot of Asian food restaurants, this is by far the best. The food wasn't oily, the tandoori was properly prepared and the Biriani was amazing.

Waited over an hour, pregnant and craving Indian , I was starving. But the food was worth it , flavourful and lovelyyyyyyyyyy!

Tasty asf. Real flavours and real colours (this is the real colour of tikka masala, not the orange one). Would defo order again. Garlic naan was OUF. Order here man

Food had spilled out all inside the bag and it stunk to high heaven. Will never order from here again

Butter chicken was very disappointing, it was very sweet like dessert and had tandoori chicken breast strips in it and half a cup of ghee on top couldn't finish it 🙁 Meat naan had coconut sweet paste in it. Very strange.

2hours we waited for our order and everything was watered down. Horrid never again.

unfortunately, not only did the food arrive late, the food was very disappointing, as it was very plain with no spicy even though i had request it to be extra spicy. I should of just of order a yoghurt as that's how plain my Biriayai was. Truly was disappointment and a shame as i was hungry and really looking forward to it, but i could not eat it, so i just went to the fish & chips shop across the road.

Had a meal delivered tonight ot was lovely really enjoyed the chicken curry was tender and delicious sause. The chicken massala was rich and creamy very tasty. Bread delicious so buttery. Would definitely recommend ai will be ordering from there again. Thank you

Food arrived cold I asked me it madras hot and it wasn’t. Didn’t eat it

Recently refurbished making it more accessible and accommodating. Excellent service

I've had biryani many times and this was a very poor version, will not order again I've had much better, too much colouring and no taste

Disappointed. Leaked, just about warm. Food was rushed

Food was excellent. Have definitely found my new go-to take away!

all we could taste in different dishes was coconut, butter chicken was more like korma and a tikka masala was the same as the butter chicken but a different colour, will not be ordering again. onion bhajis very oily and tasted like refried and old , The free poppadoms unfortunately were stale.

Lovely meal. Will definitely return.

Fantastic food as always, will be back for more soon!

As I am writing this review I must say how dissatisfied and disappointed I am trying this Indian dishes. I have ordered a take away on a Sunday evening that consisted of Butter Chicken and a portion of Pilau Rice. It is unbelievable sweet, please believe me this dish would have been ok as a dessert but not as a main dish. Called the restaurant back immediately to tell them and the o ly answer I got was “this is the way we do it” …. Very very disappointing.

First time buyer with this restaurant. Very nice customer service when called to order My order: Mixed Platter-really nice Pilau rice: painted rice?! No flavour?! Butter chicken, Chicken Tikka masala, coconut rice, all these dishes HORRIBLY SWEET, literally sugar everywhere. Called back to give feedback and I have been advised that the dishes are meant to be a little sweet? Have you had any of those dishes before anywhere else and are sweet? Are any of the recipes tell you to put sugar? Sad occurrence, first time and last time buyer for me.

Have missed this place so much!! Cannot recommend highly enough. Tandoori Cottage is, by far, the best Indian Restaurant around 🥰🥰

Food arrived hot and packed accordingly, Have eaten from Tandoori Cottage for years

The prawns and the chicken in the dishes were a little sparse

Absolutely fantastic food and serice, thank you

Excellent food, it came to us hot and was very tasty.

Great food amazing flavours and great quality food highly recommended

I must say that i like my bhuna. But for me there was not enough meat in my portion. How ever . The flavours are amazing. The special rice. Is very nice. Im yet to try more dishes. Super place to order from .

Amazing food as usual but delayed delivery time, understandable as it’s a weekend

First of all this isn’t Indian food at all. I don’t even know where to start. I’m sorry but I don’t recommend. Lacked flavour lacked spice not ordering again

I was fishing prawns in my kings prawns starter but found instead some overcooked pieces. The sauces were a bit oily and just 4 pieces of meat in tikka masala and curry. The taste not too bad, could recommend to try (no prawns) thought I’ve eaten better curry!

Food was ok but nearly 2 hours late and slightly cold.

great food as always thank you

First time customer and ordered takeaway after read so nice reviews. Delicious, really tasty food with lots of flavours.Just amazing I could tell. Really grateful for the compliments we have received( some popadoms and dips).It will be our Indian favourite food place from now on. Thank you so much!!!

The food was absolutely delicious. and there were poppadoms and a dip included where as other places charge for them. Will definately order from there again.👍🏼

Delicious food and great delivery service. I discovered Tandoori Cottage during the first lockdown and I haven't looked back.

Driver struggled to follow my directions, but once received was delighted. Flavoursome, beautifully spiced food. Succulent tender lamb, was all blimmin lovely. Had planned to save some for tomorrow, but feeling very full instead! All gone! Well done guys, our new favourite Indian 😁
