I fancied a curry and as Paprika, the only other Indian in Ewell Village, didn't display a menu outside, I wandered into Dhansiri. Behind the tinted glass facade is a competent Indian restaurant. I started with a papaddum and onion bhaji, both staples of a British curry house experience and both came through the taste test. For main course, the usual suspects were all listed but my eye was drawn to the Raan-e-guddaz lamb shank, which had been marinated overnight in tomatoes and onion sauce. It wasn't quite fall off the bone soft as described but the meat was very tender and generous. I liked the whole lamb shank being served on the bone as it confirmed that it had been cooked on the bone, which retains a lot of flavour. My mango lassi was adequate, perhaps not quite as full of mango flavour as others I've had. I was offered a free liqueur at the end of the meal. Overall, a solid Indian.

It was a sweltering hot evening and we noticed that Paprika had tables set up outside on their deck and the door was open. Despite our bad experience previously, we decided to ask to look at a menu and it looked promising. So we took a table outside. My mango lassi was exemplary, packed full of mango flavour and the chutneys with the popoddams were yummy. We decided to go with some unfamiliar dishes - the chicken paprika and a lamb dish whose name escapes me. Both were full of flavour and well enjoyed. During our visit, we spoke to the manager about our previous experience and he was very apologetic. They're also going to post a menu outside from this week. So a reprieve and we look forward to trying more dishes here.

Located in the heart of Ewell Village, the atmosphere is amazing with extremely friendly staff waiting on you hand and foot. I would definately recommend this place to anybody who would like to try Indian cusine for the first time, or even if you are a regular and just want to try somewhere a bit new and different. If you have never had Indian before, my personal recommendation is the Chicken Korma with Pilau Rice - very tasty and not at all spicy.

Tamarind Spice occupies the site of the much-loved White Castle Indian restaurant in Ewell. The refurbishment has left the new restaurant with a modern look with split level dining and purple mood uplighting This modern touch extends to the ordering with the waiter using a futuristic touch screen portable device. My mango lassi and popaddom were a good standard and should be the basic minimum for any decent Indian restaurant. It's the condiments which make the popaddom experience and the ones here did the trick. I started with king prawn puree. The puree wasn't perhaps straight out of the fryer, being a little chewy rather than totally light and crispy. However, the king prawns on top were great, not overcooked and having a nice blend of herbs and spices for a kick. There were quite a few interesting and new dishes in the specialities section. In the end, I settled for the lamb shatkora, described as a spicy dish from Bengal cooked with exotic citrus fruit, even though the waiter was unable to identify the exact citrus fruits used. Strangely, despite the restaurant name, there is a distinct lack of tamarind mentioned on the menu. The dish arrived with a lot of generous chunks of tender lamb. The sauce was well balanced with the citrus flavour being well balanced with an aromatic woody base. Only slight problem was in obtaining my bill and paying, with the many waiters being great at serving the food but not so keen to collect the payment! A worthy replacement for the White Castle

Shama's Indian restaurant had been a regular haunt for locals on this site for many decades - I always remember it for the diamond shaped menu on the wall with the wonky writing! Cheap and cheerful Indian dining would sum up its food. Khan's took over this site last year and the decor is certainly much more contemporary and they've added the ability to open out the front of the restaurant on nice days. It has a sister restaurant in Lavender Hill, London. My friend and I were sad to see an institution like Shama's go after so many years but we were excited to try this new place. The menu is more conventional than somewhere like Cinnamon Spice in town. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the new decor and we found the flavours a bit bland and the dishes didn't really stand out from one another. That's a real shame as the staff were really nice and we were offered a complimentary liqueur at the end of our meal.
