Tavistock Tandoori in Camden - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We were surprised when we entered the foyer and were directed through a traditional bar to the dining area, I guess previously where buffet breakfasts were served. All the staff very pleasant and helpful. Meal was good (we had a Groupon) although the samosa starter could have been hotter. Lamb Rogan and Butter Chicken very tasty. Poppadoms were strange, 1/2 a proper one then tiny crisp like ones. Rather strange tat they also did take away.

Great tasty chicken bhuna meal with onion Bhaji. Mushroom rice was very nice but I prefer my mushrooms chopped up smaller in the rice. Great portions. Staff make your evening really memorable

We picked this central London curry house at random made no easier by a raft of unhelpful reviews of this and seemingly all of the alternatives within a mile. We had a good experience so hopefully this will help others... We had a very good meal here as a group of six including two children (5 and 8). We were probably the first evening table at 6pm on a quiet weekday. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food came promptly too. The menu has all the typical English curry options on and we enjoyed everything we had. Price wise it’s very reasonable too in view of its central location. Would happily eat here again...

Il locale si trovava vicino al nostro hotel ma eravamo indecisi con un altro.... La nostra scelta si è rivelata giusta.... Ed ha soddisfatto appieno le nostre aspettative

Ambiente agradable, buena iluminación, personal servicial para navegar por el menú. Excelente elección de entrantes y platos principales. Eran casi las primeras de la noche, pero todas las mesas estaban llenas y el servicio seguía atento. las raciones eran perfectas y los sabores excelentes. Buen valor para el dinero

Went to this place because of reviews. One other table in and waiter was taking their order. Sat me down and whilst taking the other people’s order, three other people came in and were sat down. Waiter then took orders from other people and ignored the fact I had been sat there longer. Restaurant looked tired. Need refurb and more staff

Sencillo pero perfecto. Un menos de 14.95 pounds mas que recomendable con pollo tila mándala , entrante, arroz o nan, verduras salteadas y helado de pistacho. Muy recomendable calidad precio.

Looking for Indian food in the area, I picked this restaurant on impulse after discovering it on a side street in Bloomsbury. I have no complaints. The food was not spectacular but it was good. I started with onion bhaji that was clearly freshly prepared, and deliciously seasoned, and followed this with a chicken korma and properly prepared basmati rice. The korma sauce was to my taste; more importantly the dish contained plentiful chunks of chicken breast. This is not a restaurant that skimps on the meat portion. I accompanied this very good meal with a small bottle of Cobra beer. The restaurant is simple, but tidy, the service a little haphazard. The person who seated me (the owner, I suspect) seemed a little officious. Other staff members were friendly but disorganized. But my food arrived with reasonable promptness. It was hot and tasty and the beer was cold. I'll be back

The food was good and the staff were initially friendly and we felt looked after. When it came to paying the bill we payed much more cash than the bill came to, expecting change and the opportunity to leave a tip. However the staff made no attempt to give us the change and when asked we were given no verbal reply. Just a visual intimidation, giving us no option but to leave short changed. Avoid this restaurant at all costs!

Maybe we are spoilt for choice in Australia, but this was the worst Indian we have ever had by far. The butter chicken tasted like coconut, despite the fact its supposed to be in a tomato sauce. The Korma tasted exactly the same as the butter chicken strangely. The portion sizes are lacking meat and are more disgusting sauce than anything. Do yourself a favour and avoid this Indian despite the cheap price!

Been here for the lunch menu twice before 3pm. Would recommend the Bhaji or aloo chat for starter, the bhaji is not oily and nicely spiced. Owner is genuinely friendly and food is tasty and affordable. Two two course meals and two big beers came to £20 in total. One of us picked rice and the other naan then we shared these sides so each of us had both, it was enough.

Went on a Thursday night, so busy but not full. Tables etc look a bit dated, but service was great and all food ordered by myself and my colleagues was great. Had 3 courses and my share was under 25 pounds.Only moan was the ice cream dessert looked and tasted like it had sat in the freezer for a while. Not really what you visit an Asian food place for though.

It's difficult to find an "independent" place to eat with so many cheap food chains in London, all with the same vibe/food styles. This little suburban restaurant had real fabric tablecloths and napkins, although the decor was a bit dated. Food was plentiful, tasty, well presented and reasonably priced. Not many other customers on a Mon night and staff were polite. It must be difficult for these little places to compete with the chains, so we MUST support them to keep our choices open.

The restaurant has too many tables on too little space, the rice was dry and mealy, and my butter chicken was cold and both looked and tasted like it had been heated in a microwave. It literally had a pool of oil/fat floating on top. The chairs were wobbly and ripped and it was just not worth it’s pricing.

By the entrance there was a signboard saying "Bangladeshi and Indian cousines". We went in to taste Bangladeshi dishes.We asked for the waiter to show some of the Bangladeshi dishes on the Menu. They actually did not serve proper Bengladeshi dishes. We ordered two indian dishes. They tasted almost the same. When we left the restaurant, we told ourselves never to visit this restaurant once again.

Got a lovely curry at 1130pm. Staff friendly, good price. Can't fault it. Value, taste, convenience, biryani.

He comido dos veces aquí y realmente lo disfruté. Pollo Balti era delicioso, con un montón de sabor, el Chole también estaba realmente delicioso. Mi marido dijo que la Jalfrezi era lo mejor que habíamos tenido en mucho tiempo. La única cosa es que el lugar siempre parece estar vacía, y realmente le falta ambiente. Además, el personal realmente no comprometerse con sus clientes. Aparte de esto, es el mejor restaurante indio en esta zona para nosotros, y hemos probado unos cuantos.

Visita al restaurante hindú y bengalí cerca del hotel , Perfecto masala tandoori, y platos típicos con precios moderados, repetiría sin duda. Variedad de platos a precios asequibles !

Really good quality Indian food in a small, cozy setting for a decent price. Could be improved with faster service.

Chicken Biryani was great! Also everything else what we ordered was nice but the service staff who served us was not so friendly.

Es ist schlicht wie kaum ein anderes indisches Restaurant, aber das Essen ist sehr sehr gut - große Portionen zu guten Preisen - eine Ausnahme unten den vielen mittelmäßigen Restaurants. Hat uns Spaß gemacht - nur die Getränkeauswahl ist gering - aber zum indischen Essen schmeckt uns am besten Bier und das ist gut.

Tesoro escondido en el centro de Londres si buscas cocina india de calidad a un precio muy razonable, la decoración no es la mejor, pero la calidad de la comida y el precio lo compensa, bien vale la pena buscar en este lugar, en una pequeña calle lateral, así que no está lleno de la escena turística normal, fantástico, ¡no te defraudará!

Fresh, tasty food; excellent prices, including alcoholic drinks; and, contrary to what many have said here, friendly service.

The flavors are just right, and the drinks are cheap. This is my number one go to place when I want quality food for what I pay. I love it.

Mi marido sugirió este restaurante punjab después tomó un paseo por el vecindario y fue perfecto. El servicio era impecable y amable. Había muchas opciones para mi marido y amantes de las especias suaves me amoroso con explicaciones de todos los platos. La comida estaba caliente y delicioso. Me hubiera gustado comer en este restaurante todos los fines de semana pero desgraciadamente soy un océano de distancia! Definitivamente vale la pena visitar si estás en el barrio. Comer barato que sabía de lujo.

Vine por la oferta de comida - de £4. 95 por 2 campos que es una ganga en el centro de Londres.

Very butter chicken, tikka massala, nan bread and chai latte. Excellent service. Desserts were...okay.

The food tasted ok, not great but we were greatly disappointed in the following: no relishes came on the table with our naan, the samosas were overly greasy, as though they had been fried and left to sit, and worst of all the Dahl we ordered was a soup mess with not a lentil to be found! Why call it lentil Dahl when it had no lentils in it! The positive is , on a rainy night, it was a cozy place close to our hotel.

We were the only customers in this place, so I was a bit wary, but the food was very good and so was the service.

Brilliant food, tasty and high value. Great Dishes, great nans, superb lunch offers. Best ear in Bloomsbury. Toilets could be better! Atmosphere practical rather than romantic. No wheelchair access.

The food was excellent and very cheap! The service was really good. One of the waiters suggested a good, spicy dish (something similar to chicken tikka massala), and the medium spicy butter chicken for us. The restaurant itself is not very special, because it was quiet at the time. But that didn't stop us from having a wonderful dinner!

Excellent meal. Short walk from hotel, not very busy, .. Enjoyed popadoms, king fisher and a first class chiken balti. Very good value. Fresh and tasty. The perfect indian meal.

I really love this restaurant. Nowhere else in the world food tastes so good. Wonderful and ample lunch menue for just 4.95! And it was so delicious… I eat in many different indian/bangladeshi restaurants but this one is my top. OK, the deco is not superb and the waiters could be a bit more chatty/friendly but all in all - simply go. The best bhuna in teh world.

We ended up there by chance as other restaurants around would not serve diner after 10:30pm. We didn't expect much and we've been positively surprised. A warm welcome and generous and tasty food! It was fresh, not heavy. We highly recommend the coconut rice! Total price 27 pounds and there was more than enough food for the 2 of us.

The food was OK, although I doubt if it was fresh because it made me ill later on. That aside, the waiter was rude and disinterested. Worst service ever, I wil not be going there again.

Food is okay but nothing so special about it. Price is competitive and not so expensive. Our waiter recommended to us the King Prawn Shashlick and it is worth trying.

Sometimes you want both good food and good service to make the experience a real pleasure. if you look past the lack of interaction from the staff and their inability to guide you/support you in choices of food then you will have a good meal that is spicy and well presented.those waiting on struggled to acknowledge you even when you were being polite you felt ignored. look past that and enjoy the food

I do not like writing critical reviews but this is the fifth and last time which I will be visiting this restaurant, The Tandoori chicken starter was below average, the curry was ok as was the sag aloo. When it was time to pay the bill and I informed the waiter that I needed the receipt for expenses, he suddenly could not speak much English and would not give me the receipt although he took my order with no problem. I must add that on previous occasions all was ok.I must find another Tandoori nearby

A este lugar lo descubrí caminando porque estaba cerca del hotel donde me hospedé. Tiene una buena relación calidad y precio. Es muy buena la atención. Volvería.

Boas opções, preços ok para a libra, do lado do Hostel e bem próximo do Metrô. bom para refeições rápidas!

The place is simple, responsive. I ordered a Chicken Massala with basmati rice following. The chicken breast was cut in any way, with small end of the nerves and cartilage. And the rice was hard and dry. The flavor of masala was great, but ...

Brilliant. As others have said, this is a traditional 1970s style Indian Restaurant. Sam Tyler, Annie Cartwright and DCI Gene Hunt would be in their element. Good prices and very nice food. It was a bit quit on my visit but I guess t weekends it must be a lot busier. I'd come back.

Took friends to the Tavistock Tandoori after a day at football. The staff were friendly and helpful when we were discussing what food we were going to have. We shared 3 varied dishes (no starters) with rice, the food was nicely spiced with plenty of flavour. They made one of the dishes a tad hotter (chilly wise) for one of us which wasn't just a case of throwing in more whole chillies. I would be happy to go back next time I am in the area for a meal The meal for 3 was around £50.00 with drinks

I needed somewhere for a quick meal after business meeting in London prior to train back North Didn't want chain food at Kings Cross or train fare so called in here. Very good value , meat quality ok and curry fine but not memorable Staff just did what needed to take order and serve. No real customer rapport but not unfriendly Would think are other places similar and probably relies on lots of tourists passing so doesn't try as hard as it could. But if need a curry and passing call in but wouldn't make special effort to go

Food - not bad... but with difrent taste i knoe for indian food. A bit too sweet. 7Service - ok 7Nothing special to write home aboutPrice - too high for value

Lugar cálido, buena atención, lindos detalles. Buena calidad de la comida, reconozco que fui a la comida clásica, sin incursionar en platos complejos. Buena relación precio-calidad, por eso recomiendo el lugar.

Piccolo ristorante indiano scoperto per caso, perché vicino all'Ostello Generator. Grande varietà di piatti al tandoori, ottimi piatti vegetariani, sapori equilibrati, forti ma non spiacevoli. Birra indiana, buona. Servizio gentile e presente. Aperto fino alle 24. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo, tanto più che il locale è a Londra, in zona semicentrale vicinissimo al British Museum ed a Russel Square. Consigliato se vi trovate in zona.

A group of us had met up in a pub nearby one Friday night and came here for a curry. It is not a big restaurant and is clean upstairs. The toilets downstairs are not as good. There was 10 or 12 of us and as we had booked, we were seated instantly and offered drinks and popadoms. Having recently had a very good biryani, I decided to try a chicken tikka one. We ordered some bread, rice and side dishes. My biryani was good, but they could leave out the cucumber and tomato strips which I picked out and the sauce served on the side was not for me either. I enjoyed my meal, and it wasn't bad value either.

Boas opções, preços justos para a libra, do lado do Hostel e perto do Metrô. Para ganhar tempo e sair passeando!

This indian has very friendly and helpful staff. The food is very good, I would recommend having a naan with your meal as it is always freshly made and has a buttery taste.The restaurant is also really good value and offers a cheap eat in central London.

Terrible service from the very start, weren't greeted or approached upon entering. Unfortunately we drew the short straw and the nice friendly waiter that was there finished his shift as we got there leaving us with one who refused to speak English to us (even though he could speak English very well as we later discovered); we found this very rude and somewhat disrespectful. At this point before we'd even looked at the menu we were already feeling uncomfortable and wanting to leave and most certainly would've done so if it wasn't for time constraints.After we ordered, and we're waiting he began watching TV very loudly behind the bar which is rather unprofessional and although we weren't too bothered as we were happy to just talk over it; there was an older gentleman dining alone who we felt quite sorry for as it was clearly annoying him (it was extremely loud).Throughout the whole experience we literally had to get up and chase him or call out and shout to him to gain his attention. The one positive was the food was served promptly after ordering however it was cold making us thing that is was pre prepared and just left to sit there for when someone ordered it. The food was relatively nice considering it was cold, however it was 90% sauce. Don't come here if you're looking for substance.And most certainly don't come here if you're looking for good service or even to be treated like a human being. Will never come here that's for sure!!!

I just went to this restaurant and I was so beyond excited! I had never had curry before because it is not very common in America. Everything I had was awesome! I would recommend this place.

I decided to take a friend to the nearest Indian restaurant (18/05/2015) which was the Tavistock Tandoori. Google reviews gave it 4stars, so I knew i was in for something good.When we got in I realised how poor their customer service is. The staff speak their native language (I understood everything).The waiter argued with me becuase I asked for my naan to be served shortly after the mains are served.The poppadoms came out with the starters (not before). The lamb tikka I ordered was 4 lumps of hard rubbery old lamb with grissle. It was not hot. I continued eating the poppadoms but left the starters. My main was equally bad. Like Chirs' review (further down), it was oily and tasteless. I was promptly warned about the hot dish it was served in - in fact the curry came out warm. The korma my friend ordered had set by the time they served it.The food was the worst I have been served in a long time, and I have dined in many Indian restaurants, including all the restaurants in Brick Lane, some in Greenwich, Westferry, Stratford, Anerly, Brimingham, and Bristol. The Peshwari naan, which had to be reordered was the only thing that was nice.So bad was my overall experience with this place, that I have now created a tripadvisor account. I will have other reviews of places I visited, included the Raj Mahal in Bristol. Its just a shame my first one starts off with a negative.At least I am honest.Avoid this place if you can help - there are plenty of indian restaurants around.

We'd just shown up in a London, were hungry and tired, and the Friday night pub thing was obviously not going to work for our family. The seating was a little tight but the food earned high marks with our kids. We'll probably be back.

Restaurant indien (et halaal) les prix étaient très abordables (£55 pour 5 avec boissons et entrée) le personnel était plutôt sympa mais bien que les plats nous aient beaucoup plus (et on a pas su finir nos assiettes) on a toutes trouvé que c'était un peu trop sucré. Mais pour le prix on a vraiment bien mangé

Strengths:(1) Great menu with different dishes of various degrees of spiciness(2) Good for a large group of people(3) Great to have a good conversation, not too loud.Issues:None identified.

Following the recommendation I read on here by Al R I decided to see if it met up to my high standards. I would like to say it was excellent value for money. I was a little short of time and am please to report that the service was very good and quick, I must compliment the friend of Al R for suggesting the king Prawn Puree started. Well worth a visit.

Nicely tucked away in Tavistock Place, the Tavistock Tandoori avoids the higher rents charged elsewhere and this is reflected in their competitive prices. The food and service are both good and the restaurant is comfortable and well lit. They have a good range of drinks and can cater for most requirements. A solid, reliable curry house. Recommended.

The food is great, price is awesome, staff are fantastic. Highly recommended! I buy from here once a week and I like it so much that I walk past 2 other Indian restaurants just to go to TavistockTandoori. Best value Indian food in central London.

For some reason I have been unable to find an excellent Indian restaurant in London. The Tavistock is a better restaurant than most in the area although not outstanding. The service was very good and although the side dishes were a little bland, the main dishes were more than acceptable. I particularly enjoyed the Chicken Shaslick and my friend commented upon the King prawn purée starter. Real value for money was in the price which much lower than all the others in the area without losing in terms of quality.

Ça commence mal en arrivant pas un bonsoir, les couverts nous ont été littéralement jeté sur la table ! Le point positif ce sont des plats assez bon, et pour finir même pas au revoir, j'ai rarement vu ça ! Alors que dans des vrais pub anglais, ceux ci nous ont super bien reçu. Ce resto est écarté de nos prochaines virées

Good quality at a low price, only the music didn't really suite the restaurant. I'll come back to try other dishes.

Tried a couple of take-away curries from this place. The tmc was perfectly fine and really cheap. Not the place for a fab Saturday dinner but a good alternative to cooking for yourself on a Tuesday evening.

I have eaten here / ordered a takeaway on several occasions. Why would I keep coming back, when I so obviously dislike it? Good question - but I have been desperate, I have taken my dad (who is not a foodie) and I can at least give you a negative review based on multiple trips. The food is oily, sub-standard and bland. I have eaten in dozens of Indian restaurants. This Bengali one is probably the worst. It gave me the runs. The muttar paneer tastes like a pudding. The saag is horrific - and such a small portion. The meat used is the cheapest, or certainly seems like it. The chicken karai is so ordinary, and full of oil. The chicken tikka is watery. The lamb dishes are chewy and poorly flavoured. The daal is particularly awful. The wine is diabolical. The beer is Carlsberg (need I say more?). The place is often empty. I cannot understand how it has managed to sustain itself in such a wonderful location - please try and avoid.

La verdad que comimos muy bien y a un precio razonable, teniendo en cuenta a lo que se piensa que uno puede gastar en Londres. El local exige un gasto mínimo de 6 libras persona en una mesa y la carta es demasiado variada. Los platos no vienen con guarnición, así que hay que optar por arroz o verduras; éstas últimas con salsa de curry son muy picantes, incluso las que ellos dicen que son de las menos picantes! También se pueden comprar kebabs para llevar. La atención es muy buena y están al pendiente de que todo esté bien!

Ho scoperto per caso questo piccolo ristorante indiano. Posto tranquillo e rilassante, buona qualità del cibo e prezzi giusti. Pollo al curry e riso Basmati da provare!!!

Popped in whilst staying at nearby George Hotel. I typically seek out different Indian restaurants as a change from the usual. This one didn't really hit the spot, although everything was generally fine - a little better than average, but not as good as most Indian restaurants I visit. Service was attentive and friendly though and a pleasant enough dining room. Just a feeling it could be a lot better without too much effort - not much needed to take things up a notch. However, probably wouldn't go again as there are better options in the area (e.g. try the 'Woburn').

Me and my girlfriend have visited this place regularly since discovering it. The food and drinks are both extremely well priced and, whilst perhaps not the finest curry you will ever eat, it's tasty, nicely cooked. Service can sometimes be a bit slow but the staff are always polite. Small restaurant but clean and well presented, it's well worth a visit. Have had a pleasant suprise when the bills arrives.

I found a hair in my food, was offered a replacement but felt so sick that I could not stomach anything else from that kitchen. The rude arrogant and argumentative waiter refused to not charge me! As I had touched my food!! and only ate about 1/3 (unfortunately!!) Said that the boss wasn't there and he could do nothing! Didn't even apologise. I stupidly paid and left as I hate confrontation and was by myself!! Shocked and discussed!!!!

We stopped in because we saw many diners, were hungry and it was a big mistake. It's too bad we couldn't hear what was being said by them until we had been seated and ordered. Believe the bad reviews (which I unfortunately had not read). I've nothing to add to what has previously been written as I am still disgusted by such a waste of money.

From what I've heard, London's supposed to be famous for their fabolous Indian cuisine. With our hopes up through the roof, we visited our local Indian restaurant, which was Tavistock Tandoori. Upon arrival, everything seemed fabolous. The setting was just what you'd expect from a local London curry house, and the service was good. We ordered our food, and the waiter recommended drinks to go with that. However, my mother is allergic to chili, and when we ordered we made sure that my mothers dish, chicken korma (which shouldn't have any chili at all in it, if I'm not mistaking), didn't have any chili in it. The waiter assured us that there would be no chili in her dish. I don't know how to describe the ignorance that followed best, I simply just don't know where to start. First of all, the chicken korma was actually DECORATED with red and green chili. Luckily there was some other dishes at the table that she could eat from without actually suffering. At the end of the meal we pointed this mistake out to the waiter, who at first didn't understand our criticism. When we pointed out that the dish that's not supposed to consist of chili, and that we specifically asked about whether it consists of chili or not, actually DID consist of chili, the waiter replied: "that's not chili, that's red onions"! England is a country that's produced many great things, but (and please correct me if I'm wrong) I bet they haven't managed to produce the worlds first red onion that's actually both red and green, looks like chili and taste like chili (and even had someone that's allergic to chili react to this mysterious red onion)! Obviously the tip wasn't going to be big, mainly because of the fact that if my mother would've been more allergic to chili we would've had to spend the rest of our vacation in London at the local hospital. While we enjoyed the last of what was still in our glasses, they passed our table every 30 seconds while looking at us, to mark that they wanted us to leave as soon as we could, possibly because of the small tip we left them. Let me clarify that there wasn't a lack of service, the waiter did his job and I do not wish to put any blame on him. Right is right, there's nothing we can say about the service. But the fact that, what I suppose was, the manager actually stated the same fact as the waiter -- it wasn't chili, it was red onions -- made me realize that this restaurant is a danger. It's quite frightening to think that if someone with a more severe allergy would visit this restaurant, the manager can't even tell the difference between red onion and chili. Can they see the difference between a bean and a nut?(I just realized someone referred to this Indian food as "good quality Turkish food", so I guess I can't be that much wrong ...)

I have been to this establishment before and it was ok so after a long day decided to eat here again. Restaurant busy when I entered but was found a table immediately. To summarise my experience I shall review in a timeline:7.13 Entered restaurant and shown to table7.25 Approached for order - now I have a thing in Indian restaurants that I order my drink and poppadoms and order my main later so that it all doesn't come at once. Ordered two poppadoms and a Cobra7.40 Served order - no lime pickle that was then bought five mins later7.50 Finished and ordered main8.30 No sign of order - restaurant not that busy. Two members of staff could surely see I had no food or drink! They did nothing.8.31 Put coat on, told staff I was leaving and would pay for food I had received and drink. Staff very argumentative, blamed me then subsequently blamed kitchen problems.Worst experience I have ever had in any restaurant in my travels across UK .Doesn't deserve a star. Never reviewed an establishment so badly.

Il locale si trovava molto vicino al ns hotel eravamo indecisi con un altro . la ns scelta si è rivelata giusta ed ha soddisfatto appieno ogni nostra aspettativa. Personale molto gentile e professionale. Prezzi contenuti cibo ottimo ed abbondante. Consigliatissimo a tutti gli italiani amanti della ns buona cucina

We were fortunately that this small Indian restaurant was across the street from our hostel. We went in for a late dinner (10:00pm) on a Saturday night and the service was great. I got a chicken curry and my husband got a chicken masala and they were both amazing. The portions were perfect and the curry was delightfully spicy. We enjoyed it so much that we went there again the next night with a friend.

A great place for a bite to eat - good quality Turkish food - really enjoyed my lunch. And a good place to sit in and eat - good service

I didn't think Indian food could be so bad. The service was fine, but the food terrible - my starter - lamb korma was so tough it was almost inedible. the main course - chicken tandoori masala tasted mainly of sugar - couldn't even recognise the tandoori flavour. My 4 dining guests had a similar experience. Amazingly, the place was full. It was cheap though. I'd rather eat stale pizza.

The review of a solo diner after one visit is obviously of limited value, but as I was lured in by previous reviewers, I wanted to share my experience. I went into this small local Indian for quick, early dinner, and prices were generally what I expect - 10 quid for a lamb balti with white rice, a cucumber raita, and a small Kingfisher. Portions were reasonable, but just not that tasty. I had no desire to finish up the balti sludge once the lamb was gone, and the raita was just a token portion of tiny diced cucumber thrown into a thick, creamy yogurt (I didn't finish it either). If I lived in the area, I'd probably give it a second chance, making sure to order something completely different. But based on today's meal, I would've spent less and enjoyed it more if I'd just grabbed a pre-made curry from a supermarket.

Small indian restaurant but very popular. The food was excellent as were the prices and the service. Would definitely visit again!

Ma il personale ci ha aiutato e le ordinazioni arrivate nel giusto tempo erano buone ed abbondanti. delizioso anche i gelati speziati finali

Ero andato seguendo le indicazioni di Tripadvisor, e devo dire che tutto il locale è stato rinnovato rispetto alle foto riportate, rimane costante la qualità e la disponibilità del personale di sala. buono il rapporto costo/qualità, generose anche le porzioni

the price was quite low with the biusness dill but the dishes realy small so we had to order another one. the food was very good based on rise and ad-on. the place a little dark.quick service

Went here for an evening meal with some business colleagues. Service was fine but although not bad, the food was nothing to write home about.

This was my second visit to Tavistock Tandoori. For starters I had mixed kebab, which sizzling and very tasty: two pieces of lamb, two pieces of chicken and two kebabs. Very tasty.For main course I chose chicken biryani with a plain madras sauce with nann bread. There wasn't much chicken and the rice was greasy. But it tasted ok.The bill was £13.25 including a first coke and was good value for money. I would eat here again.

Nothing special, but quite acceptable. Buffet, so travellers can fill up if you're wanting to save costs.

Went here at lunch time after looking around all the different restaurants. Lunch time they do a set menu where you get a starter and main for £4.50. Food was fine, bargain at the price, and the soft drinks are only 60p each as well. One negative would be my prawn cocktail had warm prawns, but otherwise fantastic!

We wandering around with some friends trying to pick a restaurant and chanced upon the Tavistock Tandoori. After being seated, we realised it was the same restaurant we had happily visited with a large group on a previous visit to London. Our return visit was much the same - an extensive menu and all dishes were tasty and plentiful. There was an adequate drinks list and the prices for drinks like the food were quite reasonable. Decor wise - it is not upmarket but well above the cheap and cheerful category. A reliable local Indian place.

Пиво только индийское и не всегда угадаешь, хорошее ли. Одному там скучновато - есть интересные блюда на две-три-четрые персоны, я их не брал, потому что бы не осилил. А так - специи почти во всех блюдах одинаковые, поэтому все как будто бы на один вкус.

Per la seconda volta siamo tornati in questo ristorante indiano poco lontano da Russel square tube station e ancora una volta ci siamo stati molto bene con prezzi contenuti ( noi abbiamo pasteggiato con birra indiana) non ricordo i nomi esatti dei piatti sò che abbiamo mangiato pollo tandoori con riso profumato verdure alla piastra gamberetti e funghi con una salsa molto gustosa e piccante, lo consiglio.

One of the things I really like when I come to London is real and good Indian food. This place is a bit on the pricey side but great food. (I would say it is almost as good as the old Piccadilly Cafe when it was open)

We took the meal set + 1 bottle of wine and it cost £18 each for 3 people. The food was very good and staff was very nice with us. Good place to go next to hostels! If you like balti food, you will love it.

Delicious meal, great service, would recommend it.

Had a few meat dishes, all were delicious and prepared fresh. Service was efficient and attentive.

Well worth a trip here. The food was great. Service a little shaky. We ordered our naan without butter slathered on it as usual. It came with butter. Our kids had already taken some onto their plates because they were starving. When we told the waiter, he took it back including the small pieces on the kids plates which to me is abusrd. Other than that, the food itself is really good and I will go back next time I'm in London. it's worth the trip! Romantic it's not, but when does one go to indian food for romance?

This little restaurant has good, freshly cooked food at very reasonable prices. We had a few very good Indian meals at the Tavistock during our stay and would happily recommend it to those who enjoy good food but don't want to pay the earth for it.The service is excellent and this little place deserves to have a lot more custom. Give it a go!

naturalmente londra è piena di ristoranti indiani, ma sono da provare. Ad ora il mio preferito è il Tavistock in Bloomsbury (Russel sq e King's Cross sono le fermate più vicine. Il posto non è molto grande, ma la qualità è buona e i prezzi sono del tutto ragionevoli. Il tikka masala è piccante comme il faut e le verdure fresche

The food at the Tavistock Tandoori is nice and tasty and very good value for money. If you want a cheap eat, go there - especially with the lunch special. However, the restaurant itself is dark and in the evening it is deserted. When we have been there, some strange people were eating there. Not at all a place for a romantic dinner...
