The silver lining was that my 8yo son who typically does not like Indian food loved it, since it was way sweeter than he's used to. Service was quite slow so even though there were only two other tables filled when we went in. Ambiance was great and restaurant smelled great when you walk in.

Ambiance is nice...the restaurant was surprisingly busy on a Monday afternoon. Food is good: aloo gobi was the best, tandoori roti was good too. Steamed rice was a bit dry and the sabzi was really spicy despite requesting mild spice. My husband liked his chicken (I didn't try it). Prices are decent and location is good so we'll likely return!

We found Gopal's through a recommendation from a friend. I thanked him when we left. The…read moreservice was top notch and could not have been better. We ordered: Vegetable Samosa - They were smaller than what I'm used to, but they were excellent. Naan - I would have rather went with the garlic Naan, but my daughter would only eat the regular. It was soft and perfect. Vegetable Korma - Probably the best I've ever had. I would have liked more pieces of potato and cauliflower, but it was great anyway. Butter Chicken - Again, another dish I would have not gotten but had to due to my wife and daughter not liking spicy food. Since we are staying at a hotel, it would have been a waste to order a 3rd main course (spicy) and not finished it (and I didn't want to stuff my face and feel awful). Anyway, the dish was tasty and I would highly recommend it for anyone that doesn't appreciate spicy food. If I come back to London, Gopal's is 100% on my list.

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.

My husband…read moreand I came here for dinner because it was within walking distance of our Airbnb, and we were so glad we did. Small tables but good ambiance. We started with the Tiltala Jhinga, which was absolutely incredible, followed by the Onion Bhaji, which was delicious--especially with the mango chutney. For my main course, I ordered the Murg Tikka Masala, and it was outstanding. It was rich, creamy, full of flavor, and not spicy at all, which was exactly what I was hoping for. Just keep in mind that rice and naan are ordered separately, but the garlic naan was hands down the best I've ever had--soft, buttery, and packed with garlic. My husband ordered the Lamb Angara, and while he really enjoyed it, I have to admit I thought my Tikka Masala was even better. If you're in the mood for something lighter, I also recommend the avocado salad. The simple olive oil and lemon (or vinegar) dressing was fresh and refreshing, making it a great addition to the meal. The service was excellent as well. The staff was attentive, friendly, and provided great customer service throughout our visit. We were also able to walk in without a reservation and were seated immediately. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience and would definitely return. Highly recommended!

They absorbed our group without too much effort I had already taken a little peep at their menu on-line and was impressed by the range of different dishes on offer besides the usual suspects like korma, rogan josh, etc. We took advantage to order a variety of dishes to share from the specials section. This ranged from lamb shank to chicken rajeshwari. The food looked good on arrival but sadly, it was hard to really taste distinctive notes in each dish. I found that the flavours really amalgamated into much the same taste in my mouth The mango lassi was yummy though. So the search for my local go to curry house continues

After talking to the waiter I opted for a Chicken Tindaloo which according to him was their hottest curry (although Pall is suppose to be hotter and listed on the menu). As always you have to goad them a bit as well otherwise they hold back on the spice. I was not disappointed in the least - I think this was pretty close to the hottest dish I have been served in a restaurant and it was fantastic! Otherwise; Service is excellent, prices are reasonable, menu is huge (so obivously you can order something less spice if you were so inclined) and portions are decent. Poppadom appetizer was the best I ever had.

Food quality was also good. THE BAD: Now on to the food. Disclaimer: I am not sure if the more "local" Indian places like this are watered down due to an English palate that expects a blander experience, but the food lacked flavor. It was not lacking a little, but a lot. It's a shame because we love discovering local places. We left full, but this didn't even taste Indian.
