Dulwich tandoori has been my curry house of choice since I moved to Dulwich 14 years ago because it simply is the best ! The curry is beautifully authentic and they do not hold back on the spicy ones. Romantic atmosphere inside and impeccable service with happy and smiley waiters, reasonably priced for the quality and even offer a buffet on sundays which is definitely worth going to. Delicious!

Definitely try their Sunday Buffet which is every Sunday from 12:00-10:00pm. So many amazing flavors and delicious dishes. The cost is around £9-£10. Great value, great quality, and excellent service. The owners and employers are all very nice and take good care of their customers. I visit every time I'm in London. Highly recommend!

I stumbled in by chance but really enjoyed my meal here. It's quite dark and dim but I don't mind that at all. The service was absolutely perfect and very friendly, our waiter really went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. As for the food, I was very pleased and enjoyed every dish - however me and my partner are both vegetarians and I have heard from a friend who eats meat that she wasn't so impressed. Could be a coincidence but maybe worth to keep in mind reading my positive review!

Best indian restaurant in Dulwich , we have been regulars for the last five years and they have never disappointed us. The staff is very friendly and the food is excellent , specially the Goan duck is a must ! Very good value for money .

My first outing to a Dulwich curry house. We chose this place based on looks alone. The food was as expected for the price, and was quite good value. My girlfriend and I sharing a lamb curry, fish curry, dal, rice, paratha, and naan for £34 with a beer and wine. Although it was flavoursome, the sundries were poor quality, and the meat wasn't piping hot, which is normally a good sign of it being freshly cooked. I would definitely return, but I'd stick to the rice. The staff did give us an aperitif on the house too!

After so-so experiences at several of the competing curry houses in East Dulwich, I'd all but given up on them, putting the quality down to a lack of authenticity and a surfeit of generically spiced, pre-prepared, fast food served for a predominantly Anglo-Saxon palate. I used to live just off Tooting's curry mile, and so the loss has hit me hard. I was therefore somewhat dubious as we entered the Dulwich Tandoori, one of the only we haven't tried yet. As it goes, I was pleasantly surprised. It's a real throwback to the 80's mind you, I felt like my father. Dusky red 'ethnic' wallpaper (verging on flock), a Bollywood-lite covers soundtrack of contemporary pop hits, paisley carpets and a small white jug of carnations on every table took us both back. The irritatingly sexist man arguing with his partner on the next table added to that Ashes to Ashes authenticity, though was perhaps less welcome. We had a couple of poppadoms and skipped straight to a combined main course. the menu offers a few surprises. While they have every dish you'd expect from a local curry house, there are a few Bengali specialities that warrant a further look; Shatkora Chicken, named after the sour aromatic citrus fruit of the same name and a fish dish called Rup-Chanda made with the pomfret, a fish I'd certainly never heard of. They also, rarely, had several duck dishes on the menu. The chicken Dhansak, a traditionally Gujarati dish, was excellent. Succulent and perfectly cooked chicken served in a spice hot lentil mixture, flavoured with cumin, garlic and chilli. A fresh (if not especially authentic) mushroom pilau and a pleasingly flavoured Aloo Gobi complemented the generously portioned dish, easily enough for the two of us. It was all light, relatively oil free (with the possible exception of the Aloo Gobi) and obviously fresh. Microwave hot towels came on completion, and the modest bill was presented with a brace of After Eights. I'm sure, if we'd had room to contemplate looking, there would have been various frozen ices, served in fruit shells to finish. I'll be back, the friendly service and interesting menu options will prove too tempting to avoid. It's no Benares certainly, but it's nice to find a good local curry house finally. Seeing what they are capable of with shackled with a menu stuffed with obvious staples I'm also tempted to ask the kitchen to prepare me one of the dishes that they'd prefer to be eating.
