Chefs of Tandoori - MALVERN

This place is underrated in my opinion. It's our go to Indian restaurant in the area when catching up with friends. I love sitting in the back part of the restaurant with high ceilings. We have been back here multiple times and have never been disappointed. The curries are delicious and their Tandoori chicken has a lovely charcoal flavour. The staff are accommodating and if you like spicy you can ask for extra spicy on most of their curries. That way you're not missing out on your favourite curry type. If you're really up for a challenge, successfully eat the Zingaloo and go on the wall of fame!

Mmmmm tandoori. When Tandoori Oven closed I was bereft as I love food done in this special way, and yet so often it's challenging to find places that do it well. Chefs of Tandoori is one of them however. They burnt down a while back, but have now ressurected from the ashes (hence they've added Second Innings to their name). And their tandoori delights are as good as ever. There are two that I adore, the paneer which comes in pieces, and the chicken which you can get as a half bird if you are hungry enough. There's plenty of other options on the menu but for me it's all about the tandoori. In a nutshell say it again, tandoori!

Harry Sandy wrote the book on food quality, running a restaurant making people feel important, many a restaurant could take a leaf out of their book, the food quality is always the same, sadly very few restaurants master this, Chefs are masters at it regardless of what I order I know it will be perfect, great staff that are fun and easy to communicate with they enjoy what they do again hand pick by Harry Sandy, if your an Indian Food fan you must try it you will never go anywhere else, my husband is number 1 Zingaloo Worrier !! don't know what a Zingaloo is ? if you like it hot try it !

This was our scond visit to this Indian eatery. Positives: Attentive staff. Clean presentation. Acceptable price. Wine was nice. The Kashmir nan was spot on. So often these are soggy sugar-stuffed or honey-drizzled coconut-smothered and sickening. The rice was perfect. I mean can rice not be? Well this rice was fab. I opted for the lamb vindaloo as I like a good punch to my spice. It kicked like a mule. In fact I asked for a little yogurt just to occasionally cool my palate. Perfect. Just what I like. Not like other pathetic offerings I have elsewhere. My partner opted for the chicken korma. She loved it. There was plenty of chicken in there too. Negatives: The setting is a little compact. Not sure why we were seated immediately next to others when there was plenty of room. Mixed pakora included one prawn and too many onion fragments. The accompanying small salad was tired. The menu is somewhat limited but what is there is fair enough. We haven't tried the takeaway offerings yet so I can't comment. Definitely worth a try and better than other Indian restaurants in this area. We will call again.

I have been to the Chefs of Tandoori more times than I can count on two hands. The thing that stands out most about Chefs of Tandoori is the freshness and lightness of the curries. I would consider them the healthiest Indian restaurant in the area. The usual curries like Rogan Josh are not as oily. My favourite curries are the goat curry and the Fish Kerala. Whilst the fish has been fried lightly in batter, you don 't get a heavy oily feeling after eating it. The fish is served in a mild curry that is lightly creamy. I also love the Okra Dopiaza here. The Kashmiri Pulao is one of the lightest and isn 't overly oily as well. I also recommend the prawn curry though there could be more prawns in each serve. Whilst the prices are just marginally a little more, you pay for the quality. This joint is my go-to takeaway when it 's been a busy week and I 'm still trying to eat 'right '. I love the service and ambience here as well. They remember you! If you order takeaway via their app you get a discount. Also you can get a cheap glass of wine whilst you wait for your takeaway.
