Great food, amazing service, poppadom whilst you wait for a take away, really nice people- great!
Standard Tandoori is my number one spot for Indian food in Islington. The inside looks like a proper old fashioned curry parlour. The windows are blacked out, the carpets are red and the tables are set the old fashioned way. The food comes served to you on a silver trolley. All in all the place is charming, and there is the option to have your food delivered as well so it provides restaurant quality food in your own home.
My favourite here is the sizzling and fresh chicken tikka which is subtly but perfectly spiced. For curry lovers I would recommend the Saag Gosht which is probably the best curry I have ever had. It is a dish of beautifully seasoned spinach and tender lamb. The onion bhaje’s are not at all greasy but pack a brilliant flavour, as does the lentil dish Tarka Dahl.
The service in this restaurant is warm and welcoming. Living just down the road I usually go to pick up my curry personally, and my bag is always filled with extras such as chutneys and popadoms. Last time my waiter even threw in a cobra beer, the perfect addition to my meal.
All in all this is a great curry restaurant and I thoroughly recommend it, both for take away and for a unique dining experience.
A lovely restaurant. Well recommended by many. The staff are very friendly and kind. The menu is extensive. The dishes are generously proportioned and decently priced. The restaurant is clean and cosy. Easy to find.
