Buddha Tandoori — Restaurant in Funchal

Prices here are too expensive, as rice is not included in the dishes so you have to order that separately (3.50€ being the cheapest). Also the dishes don't have any salad or vegetables, and naan bread is also not included, unless you pay extra. The waiters didn't have very good English so we had trouble understanding them.

The food itself was alright, nothing spectacular. But if you order a dish with mango sauce (chicken mango, lamb mango) be prepared that the mango is all you're going to taste. It wasn't bad, but the mango sauce had such a strong flavour, that I couldn't taste the lamb at all. So I think they were a bit unbalanced. Also I found it a bit annoying that all the customers were seated right next to each other, despite half of the restaurant being empty.

This was the only Indian restaurant in Madeira that we tried, but there has to be a better one. Wouldn't recommend unfortunately. I miss Grande Mundo, a chinese restaurant that used to be in this same location years ago, the best Chinese I've been to. But it's no...

We have had 2 delicious meals so far on our 10 day holiday and plan to return for our last night.

Staff are warm & welcoming. We had lentil soup, delicious prawn pakora that were superb and onion bhaji (sublime - flat little circles of loveliness) Chicken in coconut milk was sweet and rich - too filling for me so they happily packed the leftovers up to take home! The next time I had tandoori chicken which was freshly made and sizzling on a hotplate with onions underneath. My husband had a deer & asparagus curry - a Himalayan speciality that was very tasty. Next time another delicious speciality of lamb curry. Both times we had a peshawar naan each slightly different but charred delicately and again leftovers came home with us.

To end we adored the mango kulfi (with 2 spoons to share) cubed in a bowl - a real must.

They offer a range of teas ( including massage chai!) coffees and liquers to finish.

What a lovely evening...

We ate: Starter, Dinner and Desert with a poncha and a cola each
