Wow, I've been to Indian restaurants in the US bu never the UK! I was very impressed and this place was the right choice to try Indian food abroad! I felt so welcomed from the moment I opened the door until I left! We started off with some coconut naan bread! I never knew this existed or maybe it's been a while since I went to an Indian restaurant. All the sauces/dips they served us were delicious! I had the lamb chops with tamarind rice!! The lamb was cooked to perfection and easily fell off the bone! The tropical essence mocktail was the best tasting mocktail I've ever had. They have a parking lot available for guests which is good. Overall I would come back any time I'm in london read more

See all

This is Amazing. wonderfull service system. The place is quite decent but the pricing is quite steep for a place in Bromley. The food is good but definitely not worth the steep pricing. However, the service is fast and you can enjoy a calm surrounding atmosphere while eating. So i liked it. read more

This restaurant committed fraud against my elderly parents. My wife and I & two friends dined here on the Monday 4th January 2022. The bill came to £318. My wife and I were copping for half (£159). My wife gave our bank card to pay. The manager told us that it hadnt gone through. We found this strange but nevertheless I offered my card instead. The manager then told me that my card also had not gone through. Suspicious, I then opened my bank account on my phone and discovered that both payments had gone through perfectly. I demonstrated this to the manager by showing him my online bank account. He agreed and without apology refunded one of the payments back to my card. It didn't register immediately. The manager took our contact details (the landline to my parents house where my wife and I were staying during our Xmas visit) so we could keep in touch in case the refund didn't drop. The manager seemed suspicious of us. The only reason we can think of for this is because our Visa cards are issued by an American bank (we live in California) and so our bank was unfamiliar to them. But even so, payment was settled. All was good. We left the restaurant seemingly fine. During our cab ride back to my parents house, someone from the restaurant phoned ahead to my elderly and infirm parents house and bullied them into giving their bank details and took another payment of £159 from them. This was now three payments for one half of the meal. A total of £477 for a £159 bill. When I got home to find out that the restaurent had called, bullied and wrongly charged my elderly father for a meal he wasn't even present or had anything to do with, I then called the restaurant demanding answers. I spoke to the highest ranking manager who apologised saying it was a mistake. He promised to refund my father's payment with 24-48 hours. I called back the following day and was told to wait a further 48 hours. So I called back 48 hours later only to be told that they would not be making a refund and were too busy to deal with it. In addition to this. The Tamasha also received another £159 paid between our two friends who dines with us that evening. In total the Tamasha restaurant charged our party of four a total of £636 for a £318 meal - £159 of which was conned over the phone from my frail dad, who wasn't even at the meal. We contacted my parents bank with evidence (a copy of my bank statement to prove that payment had been made). The bank immediately agreed and began a dispute case through their fraud department. ...Decent food at this place - but I'd pay in cash if I were you. These guys are clowns when it comes merchant service payments and utterly unscrupulous when it comes to bullying and falsely charging elderly People. read more

Top notch, it's the best Indian food I've had in the area. Great decor & atmosphere, not your standard curry house, prices to match the decor! read more

I have enjoyed some remarkably good meals here and there is always excellent and welcoming service. The best meal I've had at Tamasha was their top of the line, multi course tasting menu. Wonderfully delicate sauces, tender meats (especially the gorgeous lamb chops) and a very balanced array of dishes. Unfortunately my most recent visit was a disappointment. Service was still good but the food was not up to the usual standard. My lamb pasanda was bland and the sliced meat was rather chewy. My companion's Manchurian chicken was overly sweet and not what was expected. Appetizers were tasty but I think the samosas should have been bigger and a little spicier; and on this occasion the lamb chops were not of the same high quality as before. Do try the special orange coffee treat to finish your meal. Made tableside, hot coffee and orange liqueur in a glass coated with toffee. Very yummy. I will definitely come back for another try as I hope they will regain their former glory. read more

Date nights are a bit of a commodity for us right now, so when we do get a chance to go out, we want it to be somewhere worthwhile. After a few plans fell apart, we searched for a last minute option. Knowing Tamasha was just down the road and we wanted to eventually go there, I was able to get a table earlier that day (on a Saturday), which worried me slightly. However, when we walked through the doors, all worries dropped and we had a sense of what was to come. We were ushered to the bar as our table wasn't going to be ready for a few minutes and we had two lovely cocktails in a very lively room. The bartender was top notch, made great suggestions and had a killer stache to boot! When we were finally seated and served, oh my, what a treat. I had the duck curry and it was phenomenal. I wanted something with a bit of a kick and this certainly delivered! As a bonus, they serve Mongoose beer on draft, which was a nice change from Cobra or Kingfisher. Overall, everything from the service, to the food, the decor, the presentation, the price, everything was very good and this is a place we will definitely coming back to the next time we want a really solid Indian food experience!! read more

One of the best Indian restaurants I've been to. It's quite pricey though so go for a special occasion. Great food, good service, great bar (go early to have a drink in bar first) and brilliant atmosphere. read more

Great restaurant. I would say the best Indian in Bromley but of course that's debatable. Food is pricier than the average Indian restaurant in this area but worth it - if anything just for the 'interesting' artwork in the toilets (think Karma Sutra!). I'm vegetarian and always of have a good choice from the menu. There is a good amount of parking available out back, but it is also on a couple of bus routes and only 10/15 min walk from central Bromley. Book in advance because it always seems to be busy. read more

A review of Tamasha needs to start with the price. It can't be escaped from the fact that this is priced as central London and indeed is priced at Michelin Star level of Chapter One (also in Bromley). So with, the prices set out, can the restaurant meet these standards even if it hasn't formally got the star? In the short of it, no. The restaurant is located on Widmore Road, but is set back from it and has its own carparking. It is very well decorated and really feels like the owners have taken pride and time in ensuring good service (plenty of staff) who are polite and well dressed. The menu is the right length. It isn't too long but does cover a good selection of starters, mains and special dishes. Sadly, if you are booking on Toptable for the 20% discount they tend to run, the example prices are rather incorrect. Add £4 a main or so to the 'sample prices. Their website doesn't even appear to list prices. We started with Chicken Nilgiri Tikka and a Masaledar Kekda (soft shell crab) and this really was poor. The chicken had very little taste and was presented in small lumps on an empty white plate. The Soft Shell Crab, was soft, but was a single crab (RRP 50p?) which had been abused with the deep frying and as such was salty / greasy and nothing else. (£6.75 and £8.95 respectively) We followed with Khyber Pas Raan (£15.95) and Dakshin Fish Masala (£13.95) with Green Chilli Pakora (£3.25) and Kashmiri Rice (£3.95). OF these the Kyber Pas Raan (Lamb Leg) was excellent. It was juciy and well cooked with a good sauce. There was also plenty of it. Presentation wise, it was a leg of lamb on a white plate with a slice of lemon poor, but taste wise, excellent. The Fish Masala (Tilapia grilled to perfection and stuffed with spicy crab mixture, served in a tangy moily sauce with a mango relish per their menu) was bland. It wasn't spicy at all. I don't like bland cooking from an Indian restaurant, it should be about colour, spice and flavour. Missing here. The Pakora were dreadful. Three small withered chilli encased in a thick deep fried batter. No taste. We finished most of everything because by our count including one beer and two soft drinks we'd hit £70+ before discount including 12.5% service. The people at the restaurant seemed to be there for birthdays (Champagne was free flowing) and there was live music which was nice. Our rating is for the atmosphere, good service and location. The missing 3 stars are for the lack of decent food. read more

I used to go past this hotel so often and it always intrigued me, especially because at night it was lit up with green lighting! After a lot of trips past I decided to book a night here with my boyfriend and see if it was at all as mystical and cool as it seemed. I have to say that we were pretty disappointed, maybe our expectations were too high but the service wasn't very good and the staff were not very attentive or quick to respond. It isn't suitable for children as there appear to be pictures of the Karma Sutra around! So don't take your kids here or anyone who is a little proud! The room we had was nice enough and the bathroom was clean so that was a plus, we slept comfortably but I wouldn't go here again. There is also a restaurant attached, serving Indian food but we looked at the prices and decide that since Bromley town centre was minutes away we would eat in Town. read more

Tamasha is quite a large restaurant located on Widmore Road so you can't miss it. I've been there quite a few times and whenever I'm there with my family they seat us wherever we want and wait on our every need. If you like spicy food then this is definitely the place to go. Even if your taste buds are suited to something more mild, I guarantee they will have something for you. The whole restaurant has a very intimate atmosphere and is good for any occasion. read more

The place is quite decent but the pricing is quite steep for a place in Bromley. The food is good but definitely not worth the steep pricing. However, the service is fast and you can enjoy a calm surrounding atmosphere while eating. read more

I'm usually very picky about Indian food, and this place delivers on all aspect. Elegant ambiance, fantastic service, and mostly awesome food full of flavor. I've been there few times and both times it was excellent. read more

Tamasha along with Indian Essence are by far the best Indian restaurants in the area. Are up to the best in central London. Yes it's expensive, but what your getting is generally better. Tamasha is more traditional than Indian Essence in visual style. The service is excellent. Whilst I have mainly eaten there on a Friday or Saturday, it's worth trying the Sunday buffet if you have a family as this too is excellent. It's always busy, so is worth booking. Can't recommend it enough. read more
