The Oval Tandoori - Lambeth

I always have the same, sad I know, but the chicken tikka, peshwari naan and bhini bhaji are excellent! And I have had a few of these from a variety of places. The naan is well filled, soft and yummy. The chicken delicious as is the okra. The other half has lamb passanda and rice. He says it is a delicious blend of sweet and spice. And all for under £25 A wonderful, local restaurant. Thank you

For my birthday, my family ordered takeout from The Oval Tandoori. Lately, we have been let down by the quality of food from our usual Indian takeout places, so we decided to try this one. We didn't have high expectations, but we were all pleasantly surprised! The food arrived promptly, was hot, and tasted delicious. We will definitely be ordering from here again!

I have now ate here twice as it’s the closest Indian to my house, both times we have been one of only two tables in the restaurant. On Saturday night I arrived just before 7 to an empty resturant that was being hoovered which I thought was a little strange. We were seated and half ordered our food when the phone rang and the one waiter left us mid order to answer the phone. The poppadoms came quickly and the sauces are very good, we then had the oval platter to start which was really nice. As we were eating our starter the one waiter that was working then went out to deliver takeaways leaving no one to clear our plates or to serve our next course. People were coming into the restaurant to deliver drinks and wine which again I thought was weird for a Saturday night. Main courses were ok, the lamb curry that I have had one both occasions has been very tough. But aside from this the food is ok. They really need to hire a delivery driver as well as a waiter because it is very strange being in a restaurant alone and having to wait for the waiter to deliver peoples takeaways (20 minutes each time) before you can move on with your meal.

My companions and I visited Oval Tandoori tonight after a lengthy drive. The food was outstanding- perfectly seasoned and spiced, with tender meat and delicious vegetable dishes. The owner kindly opened the restaurant slightly early to allow us to escape the rain, and the service was both friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place.

Our take away this evening was very disappointing . We always have chicken tikka and Bombay potato . The chicken was so chewy and seemed undercooked . The Bombay potato was tasteless . Maybe a change of chef ... but from now on a change of restaurant for me . Threw most of it away .
