Thatcham Tandoori in West Berkshire

Few years ago wasn't great but lately they have stepped up. Food is so much better, the gravy has a lot more flavour the lamb was tender probably the best in newbury so far well done guys

Disappointed, we have always used thatcham tandoori but in recent weeks their delivery service has not been up to scratch, our last delivery took over 2 hours to arrive and when trying to call the number was always busy, when order arrived they said they took the phone off the hook so no one could get through! It is with disappointment that we will not be ordering again due to their delivery and no updates available

Very good food and very tasty.I have order today.

Little late on estimated delivery but food was hot and absolutely delicious . Worth the wait, Recommend. Definitely order from here again

First keema nan with meat in. Delicious meal

Haven't ordered for a while, but glad we have now, delicious and definitely worth waiting for, delivered in just over half hour and for less than £30 for 2 mains, rice, naan and poppadoms

Best curry in thatcham and fairly priced Superb!

So so good, we ordered 5 mains and 5 sides. Each dish was very different to the last and absolutely delicious. I find you can get curry places that are very samey, but it's not the case here.

Fab food as always. Never disappointed

Really tasty curry, one of us described it as the best curry ever. Quite spicy but manageable. The bhajis were gorgeous

Chicken biriani and chicken korma. Both perfect

3rd and final chance, chicken tough as old boots each time, very little lamb in the other dish, plus giving a free potato dish when you've ordered aloo gobi already, 😩

I've been ordering from here for years and it's always been spot on. But then, I collect. I think it would be unreasonable to expect good food AND a prompt, efficient delivery service, all at a reasonable takeaway price.

Disguising and will never order from them again. Tried to explain and manager ignored my feedback

Disguising worst Indian takeaway in the area . Missing dishes and called and manager said because I had tried the food there was nothing he could do.

Delicious food and very quick service . Best takeaway in this area. Food quality always good.

Food is always very tasty and enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Was wolf whistled at as I walked out. A disgusting display by some immature male employees. Can't believe this is still happening

Delicious food and order was ready when we went to collect. Only gave 4 and not 5 as they advertise free naan and vegetable dish on orders over £20 / £25. We did get the free aloo (potato) dish but no naan but a couple of popadoms in its place.

The food was okay but the food was meant to arrive between 8:30-8:50 ordered through Just Eat. We called Tandoori at 9:01 and the person who answered didn't seem to want to help. The driver then took the phone and said that she had knocked on our door with no answer. We explained that we have a huge buzzer with the door number on and a speaker next to our front door as we live in a maisonette. Were upstairs so we can't hear people knocking on the door. She first said that she thought the buzzer was a key holder. We've never had an issue with someone not pressing the buzzer for a delivery before and we've been here for over two years. We asked to make sure the food was still hot due to the delay and she said "well you want your food now don't you?" In an impatient way and she hung up on us before we could respond. We called back straight away but she had gone. We explained to the man that answered the phone that their driver just purposely hung up on us and he didn't seem to care. When she arrived we asked why she hung up on us and she started swearing at us and changed her story and said that she used the buzzer before driving off with her music blaring. Very unhappy with the service and Tandoori couldn't care less about their unprofessional drivers. Lady was in her 50's. If the driver had come back with a polite attitude we wouldn't have taken this any further. 28th October delivery for Beancroft.

I ordered through their website last night and it was delivered promptly my a friendly man. Chicken tikka masala, garlic rice and plenty of popadoms went down very well.

Collection only review, had Moris masala, Sagorana, zalon zulon balti and Ceylon each dish had its unique taste, full of flavour, spice and heat, being a Leicester lad, where I am spoiled for choice I was extremely impressed with Thatcham Tandoori, highly recommended.

Ordered a meal for delivery and was advised 1hr 10mins and it was 20 mins late though was at peak time during the week. The food arrived and was cooked really well with good portions and flavours. The only negative was the naan bread we ordered was tasteless in comparison to others we have had. In all a good meal, could be faster with the delivery but that’s a minor thing. I just need to order earlier next time.

So I so enjoyed my first takeaway with them I ordered another. Why do people make an effort for first time eaters then don't bother again? I had saag bhaji again which was divine before, well I might as well have been eating a pillar of salt, I had to throw it. Their chapatis are the best and were again. 1 ordered 2 mains and only got one so phoned back and they said they don't really like delivering to Newbury as its too far so don't worry because I won't be bothering again. He didn't repeat order and didn't offer a refund

I'm quite cross. I LIVE for Okra. British people rarely eat it, or sell it. So, for more than half my life I've lived in the UK and haven't had enough Okra. But then I find Thatcham Tandoori selling "Bhindi Bhaji" not a mile away. Every curry I've ever has has been a waste of time. Curried Okra is all I need from now on.

I had shish kebab to start, chicken shashlik, saag bagi, chapati and everything was superb. I did say it was my first time. It is quite expencive but worth it. And 3 mint sauces. The free naan was actually nice and thin and everything so fresh, highly recommend

Always enjoy the food from here. I always collect and I am served promptly and with decency and respect. The food is always good and the chef’s specials are always very good indeed!

We ordered on a Saturday night for home delivery (during lockdown). We pre-ordered three hours ahead via the JustEat app with a scheduled delivery time of 7pm. 7.30pm came and nothing. Just Eat app showed the restaurant confirming a 7.10pm delivery. Phoned the restaurant and got hold of a somewhat hassled, rude and unapologetic man. He said they were busy and the curry would be with us in another 20 minutes. 8.10pm the curry arrived. Over an hour late. The curry was OK but not exceptional. The customer service was pretty diabolical.

The customer service was pretty diabolical. Such a shame as they could have easily addressed by same basic customer service where they phone or text you and just keep you updated rather than expect you to do all the running for a service you have pre-paid for.

First-rate Indian takeaway Phone delivery on time still hot fresh coriander on top and all sensible price what’s not to like recommend it highly

Their food is very high standard and most importantly the staff are always polite and friendly. reasonable price. This is the best

Always very nice food and great service. Highly recommended all curry dishes . Very good service with smiling and friendly staffs.

Ordered a take away as a treat. I understand they might be busy but waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for our delivery, naan was stone cold, chicken tandoori smelt and tasted bad and the overall meal was almost inedible. So disappointing, won’t order again.

Cold food, no flavour, chicken did not smell great and another late delivery. This is the second time we have had bad food from here, thought we would give it another go but turns out that this was by far the worst takeaway Indian we have ever had. Just awful, we would phone up for a refund but they are very rude and shout at you for giving them feedback.

I ordered a starter and main course for delivery. The good arrived 20 minutes later than the delivery time estimated that in itself would have been ok if the food had been hot. Not an eaterie I will be using again.

Burnt and horrible! I want full refund!!

4 lads ordered a curry to be delivered to our lake . The portion size was shocking . And to be completely honest I could make a better curry with a jar of pataks. The only decent thing was the onion bhaji.

outstanding food, by far the best in the area, always delivered within the time scale given and food is always piping hot, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I love this place! The food is fresh and tasty. The don't laugh at me when I order that many popadoms :-)

Great food and delivery on time as promised. First time using but not the last. Really impressed with online ordering and notifications. Food was excellent, naga really hot and recommended!

i wont lie and say the food was bad because it wasn't. but after a nearly 2 hour wait admittedly i was told approx 1 hour 45 minutes so approx 10.15 pm (to be fair it is only a 6 minute drive away) when i phoned to ask roughly what time it will be here as id rather have it tonight not breakfast i was bluntly told to question the driver? but i didn't get chance to question the taxi driver as he quickly put the order down and hurried away, i can only assume to perhaps take the staff home lol. i only hope that whenever and whoever orders from here that you please state to them it is for an adult so please do not send child portions pics attached at top of page ( well they were in bed at this time.Good luck and enjoy as i said it does taste good!!

Amazing curry. Always fresh and delicious. Very good service from the smiling and friendly staff. See you again soon.

I had some bad experience with another local takeaway. However I have had one of the best curry in a long time. I have to say im very impressed !

Just had a delivery of chicken rogan Josh and I cannot determine any Indian spices, it tastes like chicken in a tomato sauce. I was expecting a nice chilli heat NO, some cumin and coriander NO, and then maybe a little garam masala on the finish. The mushroom bhaaji was much the same. Very disappointed. I did call and they said next time to order “extra spicy” so I guess if you want an Indian to taste like an Indian should then I that! Finally the delivery driver made me come out in the rain to wave at him as he had no idea where he was going. Ho hum.

OMG this place is disgusting. Bit into a piece of chicken and it was raw! I phoned the takeaway to see what they had to say and the manager was the rudest person I have ever spoken to. Please do not order from here if you value your health

Ordered from just eat they delivered the wrong curry when I phoned to tell them they were extremely rude hang up on me multiple times and one guy swore at me will never ever order from here again!

I went for a vegetarian option and it was a little dissapointing. Everything tasted the same. Same heat. Just averagely boring. It filled a hole.

Ordered food last night. Came within the specified time and was hot which was good. The delivery driver was using a child to deliver the food to the door and it was almost 9pm. Was a bit surprised by this. Whilst eating the food we noticed that the chicken in our tikka masala tasted a bit weird and decided to leave the chicken pieces after a few. However both my partner and I have had food poisoning today and been very poorly. We have both had to take the day off and we are certain it’s from the chicken in the takeaway. Real shame and we will not be ordering from them again.

The food was particularly delicious this evening! Brilliant best in West Berks

Probably the best Indian home delivery I’ve ever had plenty of meat the sources were flavourful without being too hot could actually taste the spices I’ll be using them again

Excellent Lamb biryani is a must try.

First came here in 2000. Returned ever since when driving past. Its had a few ownerships over the years i think but its still good. Take away only (in case you're wondering)

Always used this until a few years ago when it went downhill. Had one last night really good hopefully this is permanent. 🙂

Excellent food, great service, Very nice owner, Delwar

Best tasting Indian Takeaway I have had in a long time. Friendly staff and good portions. Will order again for sure.

Fantastic food, best around this area. Excellent Choice, highly recommended.

I ordered a Mixed Grill Tandoori with vegetable Bahji . The Mixed Grill Consisted of dryed up ckicken and hard to eat hard lamb. The Vegetable Bahjie was in some places quite hot, other places quite cold.. All for £11.20

Really nice food, never had an issue.

It advertised free vegetable dish and free naan with purchases over a certain amount (which we did). Neither turned up and no free poppadums or anything! Didn't bother to ring them back as it would have arrived too late but it is annoying. They even delivered it with a brochure advertising the free naan and free vegetable dish. Very irritated. This is the second time we've ordered from them and they forgot a dish last time but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Ordered through Hungryhouse but won't bother again.

Have had a few times now. No issues, food tasty and never had any issues. It can also be booked online.

My first and last take away from this restraunt food late, bland and very disapointing.

We had probably our best takeaway from Thatcham Tandoori on Saturday. We occasionally get a takeaway (maybe 3 times a year) and find it’s very good & the food hygiene rating has always been the best for a curry house in Thatcham, but this weekend the food was exceptional- maybe a new chef? Very very fresh & tasty & not oily. We had 2 korma dishes, a lamb curry, chicken shashlik & lots of veggie curries - everything was beautiful- thank you so much x

Thatcham Tandoori is the best takeaway in Thatcham. Their food is very high standard and most importantly the staff are always polite and friendly. reasonable price.

It's an Indian takeaway. Does what it says but nothing extra special. Food was ready when advised.

lamb korma nann bread rice delicous this place is alwasy so tasty and helpful keeps me coming back one of the best meals ever

thursday night cannot be bothered to cook so grabbed meat samosa nan onion bhargi popadoms chicken curry rice delicous best meal in ages

First experience. Never again. Never had a korma that tasted like a bag of sugar had been added. Tikka balti that was the korma sauce with red food coloring added, also didn't realise chicken could be so grissly! The one star is for friendly staff. Do not recommend sadly.

Thoroughly enjoyed my veggie vindaloo. It was hotter than usual but lovely. Sag aloo was lovely as was naan & rice.

I would confidently call this the best takeaway in Thatcham and its immediate surrounding areas. The delivery time is always reasonable, the staff are always polite and friendly and most importantly the food is of a very high standard. If you want authentic indian/bangladeshi cuisine this is the best place around.

It used to be good, now its awful. A horrible greasy cold mess and not that cheap either. Never again.

They have a Delivery service only , but the food is so amazing that almost every week i order from them, and the taste of food gets better every single time.Really recomend this resturant for indian style food . My fav dishes, chicken chilli, ghost kata masala.

I've used this takeaway for years but over the last 6 months it's gone badly down hill. Had a chicken Nagar tonight that I actually couldn't eat. Way too much salt and just didn't taste like a Nagar. Come back Islam, please...

Still on the look out for an fantastic Indian. Thought we would try this place but sadly the food was tasteless. The chips were very undercooked. The papadoms were very soft. My vegetarian dhansak was so bland it was just tasteless.

had takeaway delivered from here,we had to wait an hour and then they could not find us, when they did not all the food was there so had to call them back, eventually all turned up but food not very tasty

Had 3 take aways and been amazing. Cooked beautiful. Would recommend to friends.

Manager was out at the time so our order was taken by the chef. Order discount wasnt given so had to see manager when he returned. Food wasnt as hot as it should have been, and the sauce was nearly as thin as coloured water. Was cooked too quickly. We have just been to the Taj Mahal in Thatcham (09/05/14) and ordered three meals for takeaway. We had great discount which took five pounds off the order, and the food was 1st class, took 25 mins to cook, which is apparently right amount of time, and the sauce was spot on. Plus the waiter brought out the order and then opened the door for us. So Thatcham Tandoori are a waste of time, and the food is sub standard. Whereas the Taj Mahal will be getting repeat orders. In fact we are seriously considering going to eat in and have the 10 pound per person menu.
