The Farnham Tandoori in Waverley

Good curry, nice staff. Recommended.

Always delicious food from one of the best restaurants in Farnham

A small but select group of 9 members visited on a rainy Thursday, having been informed by some locals in the nearby Pub that this was without doubt the best place for a curry in Farnham. It was fairly busy inside but we were quickly seated with an interesting menu to read and we weren’t put under pressure to order. When the time came, our orders were taken efficiently by the friendly manager. All of the food was delivered almost exactly to each seat without the usual clamour about who ordered what. Only a couple of sides and rice’s were slightly behind. The meal was superb, no grease and very flavoursome with particular favourable comment from those sampling the ‘Chef’s Recommendations’ section. The locals were not wrong! Great value for money and well worth a visit if you’ve never tried it - IC

Had a great meal on a Sunday night after a long journey across country. Service was prompt, food was delicious and I look forward to going back.

Absolutely amazing lovely curry, better than any curry house in farnham. Service is amazing and wait time is very little

The whole of my family over the years have eaten here, We are always made to feel most welcome. The food is of a very high quality wholesome and authentic. The introduction of the Naga chilli was inspirational by the owner Mr Abdul Haque and for those who like it 🔥 🥵 the perfect combination of flavour and heat. A takeaway service is also provided.

Enjoyed the fare here. Superb peshwari naan. Old style (as in going) Indian restaurant. Recommend giving these chaps a go. Check your bill though.

This is a great place for authentic Indian cuisine, the takeaway is as lovely as the restaurant food, have eaten here and used their takeaway service for many years, thought it’s time to share the place 🙂 the staff are friendly and super helpful, minimal wait for your food order to arrive which is always piping hot, great value and a joy to eat.

Bit of an issue with the bill not added up correctly but quickly sorted

Our favourite Indian restaurant / takeaway in Farnham. Still great after changes of ownership 37 years on.

Came here with my wife for an impromptu evening meal. No complaints about the service; some really friendly and genuine waiters here. My main gripe is the meat that made up my tandoori mixed grill. The lamb was far too overcooked and gave the impression of almost not being cooked on the night? The chicken leg was the worst bit - mostly made up of tasteless, wierd coloured gristle and bone. Not a lot to write home about. The lamb kebab was passable as was the chicken shashik. Its a shame not to be blown away by the main, especially as this was a rare treat night out. Naan breads on the other hand, we're fresh, crispy and delicious. Apply the sides preparation approach to the mains, and it could be a winner... not sure I'll be back.

I have visited this place on and off for a few years now and its definitely my favourite curry house around.

Have eaten here for over 20 years, also used their takeaway service, the foods always been consistently good, great value 👍

Curry was tasteless, nann bread dry, rice was ok. Would not eat here again.

Really good food. Looked after us very well

We came here as a small wedding party of about 16 people. The welcome was first-rate with the starters coming quite quickly. They were very good. Then came various courses for the main meal including rice. The kormas were particularly good - the sauces were sweet and thick - excellent. The toilets were nice and clean. So a really good experience all round!

Probably the worst curry I have ever eaten . Swimming in fat and fluid and totally tasteless . Actually quite revolting and made me feel physically sick

Food was bland and stale, wouldn’t recommend.

Always a very enjoyable naga chilli chicken dansak. Love it 😀

These are the kind of guys who remember you from your last visit to make you feel welcome. Nice food

11 months after last getting a tasteless, 3-star takeaway from this place, has it improved? Nope. The Chicken Tikka starter, Bombay Aloo and Garlic Naan were just about passable but not the rest of it. Slurry. You know something's wrong when there's a sea of orange/brown oil in the bottom of the carrier bag when you get home. Almost every dish was swimming in it and it was leaking out of the cartons. The Prawn Puree was soaked though, a lump of doughy, half-cooked puree bread weighed down with a morass of tasteless slop with prawns in it. The Mushroom Bhaji was so oily as to be inedible without being drained first. And so it went on. How this place gets 4.2 out of 5 stars is a mystery and a sad indictment on the quality of curry houses in Farnham. Had I not been 20 minutes drive away, I'd have taken it back and demanded a refund. £40 wasted. Absolutely shameful.

I telephoned to make an order and the guy on the phone sounded like he'd just woken up. He wasn't interested in my order at all, didn't listen, was quite rude in his responses and in the end I gave up. There are plenty of other takeaways so won't be back for the foreseeable

The Indian restaurant never fails to please. The last time my friend and I went we each ordered a curry, rice, and naan and it turned out to be way too much food for us. We felt bad that we had left so much of it uneaten so this time we ordered one of each and shared. The portions were perfect, the food was excellent and the service was great. We will continue to go back every time we're in the area.

Meal was very good, with food quality and service. Place could do with a little spruce up with decor, but I would go again!

The restaurant was like a sauna, it was very hot, But the food was okay.

We had a bland, overcooked mush of a vegetable dish and a bland but nicely cooked lamb dish. It was the lack of aromatics and fresh herbs that really let the meal down. The vegetable samosa to start tasted like something bought from Iceland. I've certainly had better food here before but it was on this occasion that I was taking pictures. The naan was nice though.

Everything about this restaurant screams mediocrity. Everything was fine, but nothing was particularly good either. Mains were pleasant, but lacking in anything special to raise them about any other curry house. Staff were averagely friendly. Only beers on offer were the boring but standard kingfisher and cobra. So no real complaints, but at the same time no real reason to return. There is nothing memorable at all here, and I can't help but think in todays tough times restaurants should try and offer at least one or two things that feel a bit special.

Had their chicken tikka masala, totally bland and tasteless.

Food was clearly not cooked fresh. Slow to arrive and we were the only people there. Very sad as it used to be quite good. Service was so slow and they only had the four of us to worry about

This is a 'ok' restaurant if you tired for the daily food. All the dishes taste the same ... not really indian indian food...

Disappointing food quality - just too bland. Not the most attentive (or accurate) service.

Amazing food and service, great quality and value is really good

Lovely food as always and great service! Can't wait to go again

Takeaway from this Indian restaurant. Great food, was ready at the time they said, staff seemed friendly too.

Amazing food as always. Comes well recommended!

A group of 17 club members were welcomed in The Farnham Tandoori restaurant on a Thursday evening in February. As was normal practice, the venue was booked two weeks in advance with confirmed numbers. It became noticeable that the staff numbers were a bit low, especially as it turned out, in the kitchen. After placing food orders and all getting a drink, which took some time longer than is usual, we waited for our main meals. Sitting in smaller groups across four adjacent tables, it became clear that we weren’t going to eat together. Half of the group were served their meals, whilst the other half waited. It was as if the restaurant were unable to prepare more than 8 or so meals at once. In fairness, when the food did arrive, it was of a good standard. The second ‘shift’ didn’t get their meals until the first half of the group were all but finished theirs. Disappointing, and if the venue couldn’t manage the numbers, they shouldn’t take the booking.

Really disappointed with our recent order. Tasteless, flavourless, meat tasted cheap and over cooked. Missed items from our order, had to drive back to collect. It’s such a shame as this used to be our favourite Indian takeaway to order from, very disappointed. Not worth £62 at all.

Best Indian food in Farnham now that the Mahaan is a fast food pizza place.

I think the best curry in Farnham.

Excellent service. Food great. Can't fault the place.

Popped here last night for the first time in a while. Hadn’t booked but they arranged a table for us. Service was friendly and swift but everything else was just a bit average. Was really in the mood for a curry but left feeling a little disappointed. The Korai and Biryani we ordered were both a bit standard and lacked any real flavour or character. I wouldn’t put people off trying it but won’t be rushing back myself.

Lovely food, great service, fantastic evening all round, recommended.

Delicious curries and naan bread, especially if you eat in (takeaway also very good). Service is great too with friendly staff. You can tell that they care about flavours here!

Lovely place. Kind staff, well priced and reasonable portions. Ps do not share rice, get one each 🤣

My wife and I have used this Restaurant for over 25 years. Superb Indian Food, excellrnt Service, consistently the best Indian Food I have ever had. Keith Waters

Great, tasty food (so far I've only had takeaways but must eat in some time!), friendly staff

wouldn’t let me dogs eat from this place absloute pits

Been going here for 15 plus years best curry house in farnham, friendly staff and amazing food would recommend!!

Brilliant food and the service to match, would recommend

Excellent local take-out Food tasted good and was really hot when I got it home

Had a delicious takeaway from the Farnham Tandoori last night. All the dishes had lots of flavour and a good crunch where there should have been. Yummy.

Turned me away again as a solo despite lots of tables free including single tables where staff had been reading newspapers. Solos clearly not profitable they assume. Avoid. The food on other tables had the same colour sauce and looked crap anyway so dodged a bullet. Up their own ars*s....hope they go bust and taken over by owners who look you up and down and say no, obviously thinking a random bus load of tourists will imminently arrive. Went to Giggling Squid instead and it was awesome

The food is pretty bland and like a curry house from 20 years ago. The staff are utterly disinterested.

We have been using the restaurant you many years now. Always good food which is why we keep returning. Highly Recommended.

We love eating here before lock down we were regular customers when re opened for take always we ordered regular take always but since the gov eat out we can't get a table not for live or money very disappointed

Great food, reasonably priced and accomodating staff. Portions could be bigger but maybe adequate for someone with a normal appetite 😂

Recent visit away on busine ss...friendly staff nice decor warm welcome. Prompt service varied menu..good quality food , balti wasn't as hot as expected even in nagla chillis but tasty...no hot rags after meal ? Odd... fairly good value ...are better options nearby by still a good meal and would return

The curry was swimming in oil or ghee. The sauce was good but was spoilt by so much oil. It’s not necessary, had lots and lots of very tasty curries without so much oil. Just a suggestion. Felt our take away was quite expensive given the sauce was so oily. Otherwise great service inside restaurant and take away.

Food was amazing and the price was good

I visited Farnham Tandoori with some friends. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Food was lovely. Would happily return.

Always end up in Farnham late and need food and have had a great range of excellent meals and great service ,they also have a great value buffet on a Sunday evening worth a visit definitely

Excellent meals and good service.

Lassi was good but food was disappointing I had the butter chicken which has lots of under cooked onions and over cooked dry chicken. The garlic naan definitely had no taste.

Ordered here after fairly good reviews ... Wish I hadn't bothered . We had Chicken Tikka Korai and Lamb Jalfrezi. Bombay potato. All tasted the same. Sauce was all the same colour and quite watery . Don't waste your money

Midweek evening meal in late October and the restaurant had several other diners and more arrived while we were there.The food tasted authentic and was of good quality. Service was fine - albeit they weren't all that busy.Based on one visit, I'd recommend it to others and would be happy to go again myself.

Very good food, and great service

Been getting our Indian takeaway meals from here since we moved to Farnham four years ago. The food is excellent and never drops in quality. The staff can appear serious but once you get to know them they are great.

Came here without booking, we were welcomed and sat at a very nice table, the food was excellent the staff however were not so.....just need to be more friendly, and approachable.....don’t forget who pays your wages! Not sure I would bother again there are better Indians in Farnham

Nice and friendly service, food was ok but not that hot when arrived. Not the best curry I've had but it was reasonable.

Best Indian food in Farnham. Good service too.

food is great nice people good service .

Great food and professional staff. Exactly right for a bunch of guys on a night out or just a casual evening out.

Very disappointed having used the restaurant in previous years and had lovely meals to today having something that was very poor totally tasteless with tough chicken and awful stodgy rice cannot believe how standards have dropped couldn’t possibly recommend a visit .

Sometimes the other guests make the ocassion. I though food was average, service good.

Good food in a lovely small down town restaurant

On visiting here on a weekend away I can say the food was piping hot but the staff made it seem like we were an inconvenience, no smiles, please or thankyous. Not our usual 'Shad' experience but nice food. Be aware though the chicken tikka masala comes with rice!!!! So dont over order

Not the best of experiences, very disappointing. Service was poor Food was poor Safe to say we won't be returning

Visited on a Sunday for the buffet. I’m from Slough where the Indian restaurants are authentic, tasty and wholesome, so should have lowered my expectations when coming here. It just didn’t cut the mustard. All the food was very mild and not spicy enough, and often lukewarm! The choices were also quite limited but for the price I can’t complain too much.

A long while since I last visited this restaurant and I am pleased to say that it is still very good. Tasty food, no problems with service. I heartily recommend it as the best Indian in Farnham.

We booked a table of 10 in advance for this restaurant as we were all attending an event in Farnham. The table was booked for 6.30pm on a Saturday night but when we turned up at 6.20pm, they had clearly given it away to another large group so there was a scene where they tried to cobble several small tables together by the door, which resulted in our group being so boxed in that no-one at the back could get out to go to the toilet etc. We waited 1 hour and 40 minutes to get our main courses and when these finally arrived, half of the things we had ordered were missing! The staff couldn't remember who had ordered what and were quite rude. A lot of the food was cold and had to be sent back, it had clearly all been microwaved as some things like the Bombay Potato were still stone cold in the middle. When we asked why our order had taken so long to arrive, we were told that the staff were busy with 'take-aways' - it seemed ludicrous to us that we were de-prioritised as compared to take-away orders that were only coming in that evening! The staff hardly bothered to serve us and so we were left with empty drinks most of the night and they didn't seem to care at all that we were clearly very unhappy! The food was okay but it was completely let down by the awful manners of the staff. It was also very chilly by the door as it didn't close properly every time somebody went in or out. We would have probably spend a lot more money and would have left a decent tip if we had only had some service!! I would avoid this place like the Plague! They didn't even offer us an apology.

1st time I've waited an hour after ordering my food for it to arrive. Needs to be managed better at busy times

Delicious curries. Not the friendliest bunch, but.

Wish they did delivery as always seems busy which given the size isnt hard. The onion Bargies aren’t the best but that’s personal taste ,everything else was top notch ! Ring to confirm a table as busy even during the week !

Been here for years and it shows service and food wise. Youll survive but there are better ways to spend your money....

A really good standard traditional Indian restaurant. It is pretty small so definitely worth booking at the weekend.

Myself and my parents visited here on an early Sunday evening for a nice meal after helping out with a boxing event at the local sports centre. We were seated quickly and there were a few others already in the venue. We enquired about the all you can eat buffet and found that the word "buffet" is probably a bit of a stretch. Really it's a few trays of curry and a bit of naan, there's no vegetarian option and it's all chicken. I understand that with the all-you-can-eat option it's going to be limited due to profit margins but it wouldn't have taken much to add a vegetarian korma for example.

It's an Indian restaurant. Food is the usual, premises and staff could do with time and money spending on them.

was going to visit tonight, wife was booking table, but due to the rude and shortness of the waiter that answered the phone we defiantly wont be going, or recommending you to anyone, you need to improve your phone manner and learn general manners.. poor show Farnham Tandori..

I’ve driven past this place numerous times but only yesterday did I stop. Very glad we did. The food was great - fresh and tasty. Service professional and friendly but not in your face. We hadn’t gone out to dine but found ourselves hungry and very glad this was the place we chose to stop. It was quite busy for a weekday night and now we know why. We’ll be back.

We got a takeaway and the food was very nice. You need to collect, as they don't deliver, so I saw the layout in the restaurant which was quite narrow, brightly lit and not particularly intimate. I'd recommend takeaway from here

Popped in later in the evening and were welcomed politely and as ever the food was hot and very tasty.

Great food, friendly staff. Went there Wednesday night and food was great as usual. I had the chicken chilli palak. Lots of people in the restaurant so a good atmosphere

Small restaurant in Farnham town center. As we were looking at the menu outside, a local told us that the food in this restaurant was great, so that was definitely a promising start. My husband and I visited this restaurant for the first time recently and it didn`t disappoint. The food was delicious, the service was prompt and professional. We will visit this restaurant again.

Popped in for a quick Sunday evening meal. The food was good, tasty dishes and good sized portions. Some decent looking specials also made it hard to choose!

At the time of writing this is the best curry house in Farnham.

Consistently excellent. I have been going to the Farnham Tandoori for years and their friendly staff get to it right, time and time again. The best curry house in Farnham by a HUGE margin. We are always greeted with a warm welcome and the food is always exceptional. 5 stars, would recommend to anyone. Regards, Mr Chapman (the young, good looking one).

Three of us went for an evening meal in mid August. The food is perfectly acceptable. The sort of tandoori food you get from one end of the country to the other. Nothing special, nothing that we really distinguish this place from a hundred others. To be honest the food seemed to be very fresh and tasty. The nan was much better than most I have encountered of late.

It is a few years since I last visited this restaurant. The decor is nice and loved the designed glass panels that separated the seating areas. Food was tasty and well presented. Although the staff were helpful, at times some of them looked bored. We were in early (7.30pm) and half the tables were occupied. It was a warm night, so maybe they were saving their energy for later!

Normally I rate this restaurant 5 stars. This last visit was a (rare) disappointment. All OK till main course which was not even tepid. I should have brought it to their attention, & usually would. Just couldn't be bothered. I told them how let down I felt when plates etc were collected. As a regular customer, it would have been good P. R. to maybe given10% off bill. Felt as regular customers, our patronage was not valued. Will go back but it will now be sometime before that happens
