While rare that I venture too far outside of central London when in town, it's good to know that you can find quality Indian at reasonable prices.
Star 1: How was the service and atmosphere?
A homey little hole in the wall that builds on the fact that you're in small-village suburbia, Panahar Tandoori is staffed with attentive and very friendly servers there to tend to any basic need. While the decor is a bit dated and seating more limited than otherwise, that's essentially what I look for when I'm outside the city. Star Granted.
Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost?
Not unlike most other Indian spots in the country, PT is generous with regard to portions, and this is extrapolated if you're fortunate enough to stop by come lunch for the all you can eat buffet. For my dinner visit, 10GBP got me a generous portion of Chicken Tikka Masala with Pilaf Rice. Have a look:

Fair. Star Granted.
Stars 3 and 4: How was the food?
Very, very good. I've become more and more of a critic with Indian cuisine as I've frequented it more often, and this is certainly in the upper half of dishes that I've had. The chicken was flavorful with a nice, thick sauce that complemented the unique Pilaf Rice nicely. From there, excellent naan complimented the meal, and I was very pleased with the whole setup. Single Star Granted.
Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could?
To be honest, this is essentially your only option if you're craving Indian in or around Cobham, but it's good enough to where I'd come everyday given the craving. Star Granted. read more
