I have been coming to this restaurant for quite a few years now and I can certainly say that the…read morequality of food has stayed consistent and continued to make me come back again and again! With new dishes regularly being introduced, you will definitely want to keep your sundays free for that yummy buffet! Two dishes I recently tried where the 'Chicken or Lamb Naga', which is a chicken or lamb marinated in a delicious homemade rich chilli sauce similar to the traditional jalfrezi, the other dish was the Murgh Shatkora, which is chicken cooked in a mouthwatering chilli lime sauce (AMAZING)! I can honestly say, I am looking forward to more wonderful new dishes from this eatery. The management and staff are their usual friendly warming helpful selves and as always a great place to come with friends and family. Book in advance as they do get rather busy!

Well this was an experience I can tell you! A friend of ours…read moresuggested Jaflong for a gathering as it was one of his regular curry places. It's a little out the way for us in Dulwich but I'm so glad we made the effort. 11 of us descended on Jaflong last night and we couldn't have been happier. The staff were incredibly friendly. After we were seated the offered us poppadoms with all the trimmings; I particularly liked the spicy line pickle which even the Auntie-in-law who "really likes spicy food" (ha!) thought was too hot. We had starters, of course. I had the Prawn Puree which is a personal favourite. It was a little doughy but the flavour was great. The wife had onion bharjis which she said were dry but would've been great if she'd liked any of the sauces available (she's a bit of a selective eater). Around the table various other starters were tried and no complaints were heard. By the time my main arrived I discovered that I may have overindulgence on the poppadoms and starters. The main I had was something I'd never seen before. It was called Pudina Gosht and it was amazing. Minted lamb cooked with honey, lemon and spices. It was a dark minty green and smelled fantastically fresh. As I was a bit full I just used my keema naan to mop up some sauce and took the rest home so I can relive it for lunch today. Others around the table tried the mixed grill which came to the table sizzling, chicken madras, chicken korai, saag bharji, various rices and breads. Everyone was really happy with. When the bill came I was shocked. £180 for 11 people!! I was expecting it to be well over £200. We'll definitely be going back to Jaflong again. It may not be soon but the wait will definitely be worth it. If you can get to Dulwich, go to Jaflong and indulge in some spectacular Indo-Bangladeshi cuisine.

I am genuinely surprised this hasn't been discovered by a Yelper yet - it's a fantastic place to…read moregrab an Indian bite! It's always full to the brim in here, so it's best to book well in advance. The place plays host to all of the local celebrities (by 'all' I mean about 2), and has been critically acclaimed by the Observer. It's a definite hotspot in SE London. The food is perfectly cooked. I have eaten here a number of times and have never been disappointed. Of course, they have all of the greats that usually appear on an Indian starter menu - bhajis, samosas, dhal, and who could forget the popadoms served with home made pickles. Try not to fill up on them before the mains - a rookie mistake made in all good restaurants. The paneer tandoori is delicious, almost so delicious that you forget about the guilt you would usually feel if you were eating a plate of grilled cheese elsewhere. Slightly different to the usual curry houses, here you pick your main meat/veg and then choose from the list how you would like it to be cooked. It's great for those who are particular about their curry! Tandoori Nights is a classy, stylish and sophisticated Indian restaurant, well deserving of its food awards. The prices do reflect the quality of the food meaning it's not necessarily cheap, but if it's good food you're after then this is the place to head to. Just book early to avoid disappointment!

Tandoori Nights is a welcome change to much of the Indian food I've had in London: Light,…read morewell-prepared food, great service, open late and excellent prices. The key difference here is the wonderful absence of excessive oil in the curry: too often food at Indian restaurants can be too heavy, caused by excessive amounts of oil/butter being added to fill out the curry. Here, that's nowhere to be seen, allowing you to enjoy the array of flavours in the curry and fill up on the generous servings of rice instead. The beer served is the usual Kingfisher. Desserts are pre-prepared ice-cream dishes, which my friend and I declined. Overall, comfortably above-average.

Probably the best Nepalese food in South London!…read more Unlike many Indian restaurants, Saffron doesn't have an extensive menu with every possible variation on the theme of curry. The menu is brief and to the point, with a few dozen main dishes and a handful of starters and sides, so you know that time and care is taken over the preparation of each one. There's a few curry house favourites here for the unadventurous (Rogan Josh, Chicken Korma) but come here for the unusual Nepalese dishes like the fiery Chicken Everest or Kathmandu Lamb. The head chef is Hitkaji Gurung, formerly of the Bombay Bicycle Club, and he takes his food very seriously indeed. All the spices are ground on the premises and the kitchen is open to the counter so you can see what's going on. And they don't use any artificial colours or preservatives - no MSG or luridly-coloured sauces here! It's not the cheapest takeout in the world (main dishes start at about £7) but you pay for quality. There's 10% off for collection and every order comes with a free poppadom and tub of mango chutney.

Absolutely delicious dinner!…read more We made reservations online about 2 months ago. 5:15 dinner worked well for us since we had a show at 7. We checked in on the lady with the tablet on the right side of the entrance. The left side is for walk ins. Super long line even at 5pm. But they were handing out small glasses of chai and something else. Anyway, the reservation line is short and they sat us right away. We wished we could have sat at the patio - it's covered. We didn't see that until we were already drinking. Well, next time! The ambiance - beautiful spot with lots and lots of tables. Every single one of them was taken. Tons of staff! They take good care of you here. Patrons vary, from dates to family dinners - the whole gamet! Come one, come all! The drinks came out right away. Dishoom IPA and chai. Beer came with a frosted glass. The chai was delicious! The food was amazing! Goan monkfish curry Ruby chicken Saffron cauliflower Garlic naan Basmati rice Everything was superb!

Star 4 Will, a manager, was personable and hardworking - bussing, wiping and setting up tables. He took some time to chat and informed us that Dishoom is coming to NY and we hope he comes along, too! Star 5. Do not skip this experience.

I WISH they had more service to their restaurant because it's so lovely going there and not just getting a take away for home.

The food is fresh and you really feel like it's made to order which is verrrryyy lovely!

Really delicious. I had the lamb dalcha with coconut rice (£12.75), while my friends had roti and…read moreraita, papadums with chutneys, and a thali. It was all quite tasty and smelled amazing. From what I know of traditional South Indian cooking, it also was pretty authentic. From many Indian dining experiences in San Francisco and Los Angeles, where Indian is quite standard, I'd say this compares with what I'm used to in terms of deliciousness :) I liked the interior, which felt both trendy and laid-back at the same time. The location's nice, right near the Peckham Rye station. Service was friendly and I was given extra hot peppers to accompany my meal at no extra cost. The only drawback, for me, are the prices, which seem to be on the high side. Of course, since we aren't in Kerala, we can't get an entire, delicious, gigantic meal for under £5. We're in London, so prices are higher. But this place would be more of a gem if it's prices were a little more appealing.

Not here - top quailty ingredients where the pictures on the menu really do reflect the finished product. The menu is so varied and you get the chance to try dishes only really found in a restaurant rather than a takeaway menu, for example the fantastic Achari Chicken and Shatcora Gosth. To top it all off the price range is great with a set menu with all the trimmings for two at £20 and most mains with chicken around £4.30 with prices rising if you want the King Prawn option. Be sure to book early at peak times as they are so popular you can expect around an hours wait but it is worth it!
