I am genuinely surprised this hasn't been discovered by a Yelper yet - it's a fantastic place to…read moregrab an Indian bite! It's always full to the brim in here, so it's best to book well in advance. The place plays host to all of the local celebrities (by 'all' I mean about 2), and has been critically acclaimed by the Observer. It's a definite hotspot in SE London. The food is perfectly cooked. I have eaten here a number of times and have never been disappointed. Of course, they have all of the greats that usually appear on an Indian starter menu - bhajis, samosas, dhal, and who could forget the popadoms served with home made pickles. Try not to fill up on them before the mains - a rookie mistake made in all good restaurants. The paneer tandoori is delicious, almost so delicious that you forget about the guilt you would usually feel if you were eating a plate of grilled cheese elsewhere. Slightly different to the usual curry houses, here you pick your main meat/veg and then choose from the list how you would like it to be cooked. It's great for those who are particular about their curry! Tandoori Nights is a classy, stylish and sophisticated Indian restaurant, well deserving of its food awards. The prices do reflect the quality of the food meaning it's not necessarily cheap, but if it's good food you're after then this is the place to head to. Just book early to avoid disappointment!

Tandoori Nights is a welcome change to much of the Indian food I've had in London: Light,…read morewell-prepared food, great service, open late and excellent prices. The key difference here is the wonderful absence of excessive oil in the curry: too often food at Indian restaurants can be too heavy, caused by excessive amounts of oil/butter being added to fill out the curry. Here, that's nowhere to be seen, allowing you to enjoy the array of flavours in the curry and fill up on the generous servings of rice instead. The beer served is the usual Kingfisher. Desserts are pre-prepared ice-cream dishes, which my friend and I declined. Overall, comfortably above-average.

Their service is spot on and they are always checking back with you on all aspects of your scran, bless 'em. As is the Brit way, a curry is the final port of call after a few scoops so post riverside beverages at the Ship we yomped over the bridge to Roshni's and ordered up; the prerequisite Poppadoms and relishes Gosht Hydrabadi Biryani Samundari Rhaja Jhinga accompanied by sides of Saag Paneer, Onion Bhajjis, a round of Tandoori Roti and a couple of bottles of Kingfisher The Biryani & Jhinga were exquisitely spiced, the vegetable sauce was light and fruity and the Bhajjis cooked to perfection, not the usual soggy mess you find elsewhere. The only slight disappointment was the Roti which was not as soft and doughy as it should be. If you are an aficionado of things spicy then try their phenomenal Phaal. If it is too hot for you then you are just 20 yards from the river ..... Cost per head on this visit was £25. VFM for such a posh spot even if we are talking Staines! They are currently offering a 'buy 1 Main get one free' offer. Why are you still reading? Go snaffle it up !!

Parking - Hey this is the UK. You know what that means. Food - Excellent indeed. Chicken Tikka Masala was good (have to have a real non indian dish). Rogan Josh was great as well as the fish, samosas and beef. Everything that we had was very, very good indeed. Service - not bad, at all, but we were there late and I think they wanted to go home.... They "advised" us of this in the nicest way. Ambiance - Nice, clean, modern. roomy and great decor. This place is a classy place and good for large parties as well! I would come here again in a heartbeat

I will also say that Hot Stuff is more bang for the buck than Mumbai Delight with better quality and quantity food for the same price. The manager here is the chef and host. He was very accommodating and the food speaks for itself. Now I know why they say Indian food can be better in London than India. We got the following dishes and everything is highly recommended. - lamb saag - lamb madras - king prawn masala - aloo gobi - garlic and coriander nan

I keep coming back to it time & again, having probably tried all the delivery curry houses in Chiswick. Its a 4 star in the "good at what is does" category rather than an examplorary dining & cuisine experience. They must rotate the cooks a bit as dishes change from week to week. My benchmark dish is Chicken Dansak and they do a good job of it here. Also recommend the Chicken Shashlick, Peshwari Naan & Prawn Puree.

Or it could be because this is not like the usual Indian food that you'd get in London, i.e., curries. This place serves what we can Udipi cuisine, from the south of India. There's a buffet that's on the menu. But I'd steer clear of it and go for the other good stuff on the menu. Is recommend any of the dosas and other tiffin items. My favourites: onion rava mutton masala dosa, kal dosa, kottu parotta, uttapam, idlus, medhu vada. And their filter coffee is kickass. A special shout out to one if the waiters, Sanjay, who's very friendly and always welcomes you with a smile. He'll, sometimes, slip you off-menu items too, just for a taste!

It's a "traditional" english curry house - all linen table cloths, flock wallpaper, faded pictures, and the feeling that it never has, nor ever will change. I like this aspect of the place - it's a refreshing change from the super-trendy new era Indian restaurants with their obligatory plasma screen, shiny surfaces and fusion cuisine. However, in these establishments, the service is usually impeccably polite and attentive - in this place is was not, and rather veered on disinterested. The food was also a let-down. I had an uninspired and almost bland tikka masala, and my friend an equally boring bhuna. Perhaps, the new-style Indian houses have ruined my taste buds for more traditional UK curry house-fare, or perhaps this one simply doesn't make the cut. Either way, I will always favour others over this one - especially as the prices are unnecessarily high.

As a food critic what really astonished me ( and whet my appetite after taking taste of two signature main dishes named 'Rajeshwari' & 'Lamb Tarkatan') was uncompromising food quality standard retained by this cuisine for decades while consistently meeting the needs of "connoisseurs" of Indian curries.
