Tasty food. Excellent service. Tried one of their traditional Bangladeshi Specials and it was delicious. Glad to hear they do home delivery too.

I went for dinner at Woodford Tandoori Cottage with a group of friends and the meal left us all utterly impressed. From the moment we stepped in, the warm ambiance and friendly staff made us feel right at home, and all dishes we tried were extremely delicious. The 007 Mutton Railway Curry stole the show! The mutton was so tender and the dish is a must order if you don't know what to choose. It's extremely flavourful and has an interesting bit of history attached to the dish. The menu offered a very good selection of authentic Indian dishes and staff ensured we had everything we needed with fantastic banter. Their genuine care and hospitality really helped to make the evening enjoyable. We've frequently visited Purple Mango in Banbury in the past and had nothing but fantastic things to say, though the Tandoori Cottage in Woodford is just as good with a different, relaxing atmosphere in the local village of Woodford. We'll definitely be returning.

The food was cooked to perfection. The chicken and lamb was tender and full of succulent flavour. The biryani rice was full of spices and cooked properly. The jalfrezi had the perect amount of heat and flavour. First time visiting here, and will definitely be coming back again and again. Great service too. One of the best India meals I have had in a long time.

It’s so hit and miss. You can have the best meal of your life or the worst. I tried letting them know as I’m loyal and want to see them doing well, but it lays on deaf ears. The manager doesn’t have a clue how to talk to customers other than to take your money. When there are 2 Indian takeaways in the village, it baffles me as to why they do business this way.

Food was mediocre. Quite bland and swimming in oil. Quick delivery but food was tepid. Sadly wouldn’t recommend.

Our usual restaurant for a Saturday night, and tonight my meal was AMAZING! I had tandoori King prawns for the first time here and it was the best dish I've tried so far. 6 or 7 huge tiger prawns fir £12.95, fantastic value. Cooked to perfection. Ali and the team are a delight. Excellent service.

Wow. What a fantastic visit. This restaurant has had many different names & managers over the decades but after visiting for the first time in a.while the changes are astonishing. Ali will greet you & see to your every needs. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is out of this world. This restaurant should have at least one Michelin star. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

We have eaten in the cottage a good number of time the food being great. However as a take away, don’t spend you money, the food that arrives is not worth the money nor the effort to order.

We are regular customers at Woodford Tandoori Cottage and the food and service is exceptional and never disappoints. There is quite often a new dish to try and last week was a Green Herb Sauce served with Tandoori Chicken which was mouth watering and delicious, definitely a new addition to our ever growing list. Would highly recommend

We went the night before Lockdown V2 and had a lovely meal, good food, good service, I'd not been for ages because I usually meet friends in the middle but it was nice to stay local for the night while I had a friend staying over.

The popadoms were folded in half and hugely overcooked. The sag bhaji tasted like heated through frozen spinach with no added spices. The korai was acceptable but not very flavoursome. My friends said similar about their meals - barely any flavour at all. I can only assume the chef was away?!

Just enjoyed a superb takeawy from Woodford Cottage. Onions barjis deicious and huge . Several different mains all equally good and the sundries very tasty too esp the keema rice. Delivered still plenty hot enough and on time. Payment over phone quick & easy. Can't fault them and will definately order again soon

The tandoori cottage platter starter with fried onions was poor with dried lamb tikka and kebab in quality. Not sure if it had been cooked on a charcoal tandoori The currys were a bit better but could not justify the 5 star reviews. Service was friendly and genuine

Visiting friends for the first time at Woodford Halse, they took us to this popular Indian restaurant. It did not disappoint, the meal selection was extensive, backed up by the quality served. Would recommend a visit. Photo shows a meat thali

Highly recommended

A very high standard of delicious food can be anticipated here. I opted for the meat thali and strongly recommend this option as a fabulous tasting plate/‘Indian tapas-style’ option for those that fancy a few great tasting dishes all in one place.

My husband and I have been dining at this restaurant for 20 years. Although there have been management changes in that time, the main chef (and owner) has retained his influence on the food. The smokey flavours are my favourite and something I've not had anywhere else.

Really enjoyed our family meal last night, four children & four adults. Hot crispy poppadums & chutneys, Chicken biryani, chicken pasandra, chicken korma for the children, chicken nuggets for one child, sag aloo, rice, prosecco, cobra (on tap) & desserts. All cooked perfectly. Service good, would recommend.

Having just moved to the area we were keen to try the local Indian for takeaway. Delighted we tried it. Only losing one star due to Delivery taking slightly longer than promised on the phone and the onion bhaji were not hot, but apart from that it was great. We were even sent a complimentary bottle of Cobra and it was nice to have poppadoms with onion and sauces included. Curries were tasty and ingredients were fresh and plentiful. Rices were generous and nan breads cooked to order as we asked for one which wasn't on the menu. We were impressed and will visit the restaurant to eat in too now, as the takeaway was so good. Looking forward to that as soon as we get a chance.

Ordered a takeaway for two for the first time and it is the best we have ever had. The delivery was prompt and very friendly, even had a free bottle of Cobra beer, nice touch. Great quality chicken and the sheesh kebab was just perfect. We will now be regular customers. Very helpful when we phoned and free delivery was a must. Thank you.

Lovely meal tonight as always! This is well recommended, so nice to sit in with the family! Service is brilliant, waiters are brilliant with the kids giving them smaller portions, extra poppadums etc! Our mixed meat platter was hot & packed with flavour! The kids loved their chicken korma. Desserts were delicious too!

So we've been to this place a couple of times, only ever have takeaway from them. All times we have found a hair in something or the poppadoms dips have been left out, even left the poppadoms out one time! But we gave them the benefit of the doubt last night and decided to get a takeaway from them. My friend geneuinely had chicken giblets in her curry....we phoned up to complain and the fellow who answered tried to hang up immediately after saying sorry...to which we were not ammused at the attempt to resolve the problem. They then offered to send a refund out with their delivery man.

Our second visit for our party of 8 for a Sunday Banquet and it was sad to see no other diners as this really is a bargain Sunday lunch. The mixed starters were good sized portions of hot tasty dishes and the main courses were just as good. My 'benchmark' lamb jalfrezzi had tender chunks of lamb in a delicious spicy sauce with onion, pepper and whole chillis. The only slight disappointment was one of the waiters getting stroppy when we complained that we only received 6 main courses when we had ordered 8 but this was quickly resolved.

I have now been to this restaurant twice in the last 2 weeks and on both occasions had an excellent experience. On the 17th November we went with my wife and 2 daughters to celebrate my wife;s birthday. It was a Tuesday so it was Banquet Night when you can choose from the a la carte menu a starter, main course, side dish, rice and nan all for £11.95 - amazing value!!! They also do this banquet on a Thursday night. It was actually my wife;s birthday and then brought a special cake/dessert at no extra cost.

Ordered online, order was confirmed and was charged. Went to the location to pickup and saw it was shutdown due to Health Hygiene issues (photo evidence attached). My order was confirmed, which usually requires someone approving the orders as they come in, so they were eager to take my money, but not so eager to clean the kitchen to a NYC standard (which isn't terribly high). Will not be going back there again, if they ever open again. Big if, as the city may be better off without Chef 28...

We have been coming here for years but on the last few visits the service was intermittent and the food not as good as usual. Tonight was the last straw. Arrived 6:25 and ordered poppadoms promptly. I accept the restaurant was busy but with only two staff serving, there was a lot going out of the kitchen in paper bags with those who had come for a sit down meal left to wait. The starters arrived moderately promptly but the onion bhaji I ordered were the worst I have ever tasted in 41 years off eating curry. Cold and uncooked. We waited for the main course but saw other tables who entered after us served ahead of us. We gave them until 7:45 and left. My wife paid them for what we had eaten but there was neither apology nor recognition of the appalling service. We will not be going there again.,
