Diners often commend the generous portion sizes and well-prepared dishes, particularly the chicken tikka and paneer jalfrezi, alongside the acclaimed peshwari naan. However, service issues frequently arise, with reports of understaffed nights leading to delayed dining experiences. Some meals have garnered mixed reviews, with comments on tough meats and bland accompaniments. Despite discrepancies in service and food quality, many patrons express hope for the future, reflecting on the restaurant's potential amidst local competition.
Best indian in south london, if not quite london. down. I have to get that word out! I guarantee that they will not be disappointed when they go to this place, they will not be deceived by the typical outer one. eating is excellent.
Great dishes and good selection of veggy dressed, but unfortunately no Indian gloom. especially recommend the chana puree. they are recommended to eat in!
Fab, fab, fab! brilliant service and even better eating.
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.
