Wordsley Tandoori — Restaurant in Dudley

I don't come this way very often and only recently noticed that the Monsoon had gone and it was now the Wordsley Tandoori. A quick look at the reviews, but more importantly the photos, and I thought I should give it a try. The only negatives seemed to relate to take away meals but that's always the case, and why I don't have them. Friday night and it was very busy, I am not sure if this is the norm but it's always a good sign. It's a long narrowish dining room that's clean and tidy with proper napkins. The gents toilet possibly best described as work in progress. A pleasant welcome and straight into the poppadoms which were crispy with varied and generous chutney tray. The familiar Bangladeshi menu covers all the bases with some interesting specials, although we played it safe. The shared sheekh kebab starter was excellent, indeed I would happily go back just for this alone. The clay pot and balti mains were as good we've had and there was nothing wrong with any of the sides. The photos speak for themselves. The service was a little slow, but it was full and it wasn't an issue for us. Overall a great night at a very reasonable price. There's a car park right next door on the left which I missed at first. You can still take your own alcohol although some seem to think that this also extends to soft drinks. I also note they have a 5* Food Hygiene Rating. Edit, a further visit and a couple of different dishes but everything was as good as before. Edit, a further visit and the staff are still as pleasant as ever. Unfortunately it was on a Saturday night and the place was rammed, this and the take away trade meant that it was a very long wait for our food. There were 5 of us and we all thought the food was on the salty side which isn't good for your blood pressure, neither was the overly loud youngsters on the table next to us. I think I will stick to my Fridays in future. Also note that the car park next door is now closed as the building is up for sale and there aren't many...

Decided to try a takeaway for the first time as ive heard some good things about this place, We live in wall heath so not too far away but pre ordered through just eat

We decided on a couple of starters and 1 main with rice and Naan to share

Starters of Prawn Puree and Onion bhaji - Incredible and the value for money was insane, Our normal offerings for prawn puree start at £6:95 here its £3:50 half the price and equally as big a portion and it was nicer than our local, Bhaji was cheaper too and you get 4 at our local you get 3 - Popped them in the air fryer for a minute or two just to crisp them back up and oh may they were delicious, My mouth is watering writing this :-)

We went for a main of chicken tikka pathia with garlic fried rice and a chicken tikka Naan, I can honestly say that its one of if not the best ive eaten the garlic rice was really tasty too

Food and Value for money is excellent We did wait a little longer than expected for delivery as i pre ordered for 18:30 but didn't arrive until nearly 19:00 but who cares it was a Sunday evening and the guy that delivered did apologise for the delay, Had a little chat on the doorstep about this being our first one and he said if you like it please leave us a good review so here it is

Out of 10 i would give it a solid 9.4 out of 10 but this is on these dishes only

We plan to go and eat in the restaurant at some point in the next few days 17/08/2023

If you haven't tried this restaurant please give it a try as it is incredible...

Don't use for Delivery via UberEats - Nearly 3 hour wait to get food. I know it was a Saturday but it's not the first time, if your struggling to do deliveries then you should come off the Uber app.
