In my experience, it is somewhat of a challenge to savour quality Indian cuisine outside of London. However, this establishment is a real jewel in the crown of the southwest and probably the best Indian restaurant in Ilfracombe. I ordered the Papadums with the Chutney tray. These were just perfect: crispy and non-greasy. For the mains, I really enjoyed the Tandoori Chicken Moricha, which was cooked to perfection and full of flavour but not too spicy (although the restaurant is happy to up the heat if you so require) - thoroughly recommended. In terms of ambience, the restaurant was cool, calm, and relaxed. The staff were approachable and attentive. Compared to the many restaurants I visit, I am confident that the dishes served here are excellent value for money given their high quality and hope that you will enjoy too!
Visited twice during our week in Ilfracombe and we really enjoyed our meals on both occasions.
The restaurant is large and on our visits was very quiet (despite other restaurants we visited being very busy during the week), therefore it did feel a little intimidating at times, being one of only two tables with customers.
The menu is very extensive and offers an excellent choice of dishes, with all the usual offerings, as well as signature dishes and specialities.
All the dishes we had were very good, large sized portions, well cooked, and full of flavour.
The staff were all very polite and friendly.
Best Indian food we’ve ever had, the portions are big and very tasty. The staff are such lovely people and very welcoming.
We will always carry on going here, Highly recommend!
We really enjoy eating here. It's clean. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food is delicious. I love the Honey pot chicken and the sag aloo. My husband had the mixed shaslik and onion fried rice which he said was delicious too.
We have been several times and really enjoy 😉
Unassuming from the outside, my partner and I chose to eat here on a recommendation as we were only staying in Ilfracombe for one night….
My partner chose 3 vegetarian options and having eaten in thousands of restaurants on several continents was certain in declaring it was the best Indian food she had ever eaten….
If you have room for only 3: the coconut rice, okra and chickpea dishes, plus lentil daal if you have room, are all a must
Great Indian with really fresh tasting food, not greasy at all and fantastic flavours! Really welcoming and friendly staff who were lovely either my little one. Definitely the best Indian in the area, by a mile!
Nice curry hear. I went with a friend and both enjoyed our curry. Lots of choice on the menu , drinks reasonably priced. Pool of allergens are well catered for as menu clearly explains what item contains what. Decor is a little dated but overall a good meal out. Would recommend
Ordered a takeaway whilst away on hols for all 8 of us. Gentleman was lovely on the phone and the food arrived half an hour later by another lovely man. The food was fantastic and hot. Would highly recommend.
Amazing Indian resturant that I would highly recommend. There was a bit of a wait for our table as they were insanely busy, I would advise booking before hand as they were completely booked out. But once we were sat down the staff were lovely and attentive.
Vegetarian food wise there wasnt a huge selection but we ordered Paneer Passanda which actually wasnt on the menu and they were happy to make it. Food took a little while to arrive and did arrive cold, but we informed the staff and they immediatly offered to make it new. We simple asked for it to be heated slightly and they did so immediatly. Once warm, the food tasted amazing and was definitly worth it. They were obviously super busy and swept off their feet so I dont blame them for any of the problems, all of which they rectified instantly.
Would definitly go again.
TN mixed starter, Lamb balti and nan. Excellent taste, good portion size, fair price. Service excellent
Love eating here, always welcomed with a friendly smile!
Service is quick and food is delicious.
The best thing about the Tandoori is they cater for the veggies, most dishes can be made vegetarian which is great.
Thanks again guys !!
Delicious food as always and lovely staff who were so helpful would recommend
Took our booking at very short notice. Easy to find restaurant with very tasty food as well as friendly and attentive staff. Would highly recommend and we will be back!
Possibly the nicest Lamb Balti I've ever eaten!
They catered easily for 11 of us, and were friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be booking a table next time I'm in Ilfracombe.
