Grapes Tandoori Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in London

This Indian restaurant is a new-found favourite of mine. I was immediately struck by the friendly and professional welcome that my family and I received and which continued throughout the evening. The staff do not stand over you but are instantly available when required. The surroundings are attractive and pleasing to eye and ear.

The menu is varied and reasonably priced. Dishes are beautifully and generously presented. As is always the case with my orders, I over-order but the staff are pleased to prepare what is uneaten for my journey home. Food of this quality should not be wasted! Particularly nice is that, on request, the remainder of the meal is placed directly into containers from the table. This ensures that the food is as good at home as it was in the restaurant.

Really, it does not get much better than that. Although I live in Somerset, the Grapes Tandoori Restaurant is a firm favourite of my family who still live locally.

If you have not yet tried it, why wait? Share my eating experience and have a great meal.

A final note to the bar staff I really enjoyed my Kingfisher Beer served in the correct glass - my special thanks to you for your excellent service - not to be forgotten.

See you again soon, I...

A Hidden Gem – Exceptional Indian Cuisine

I popped into this restaurant on the off chance while charging my car, and what a fantastic surprise it turned out to be. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a truly delightful dining experience.

I opted for the Lamb Sylhet, and it was nothing short of outstanding. The lamb was beautifully tender, falling apart effortlessly, and the sauce was a perfect balance of flavours. I could taste hints of fresh ginger, and I believe there were pieces of mango, adding a subtle sweetness that complemented the spice of the dish wonderfully.

The pilau rice was cooked to perfection—not too dry, not too moist, just the right consistency to soak up the flavours of the curry. The peshwari naan was a highlight in itself—soft, fluffy, and baked to perfection in the tandoor, with just the right amount of sweetness.

The staff were incredibly attentive, ensuring everything was to my satisfaction without being intrusive. A truly lovely meal, and if I find myself in the area again, I’ll definitely be back. Highly...

Rude Staff- especially the person in charge of billing.

We ordered for starter platter (which was for 2 people) and ordered some drinks. Food was good and portions were decent and struggled to finish.Finally requested for bill. Suddenly a new person came with the bill and warned us this time we are allowing this next time you need to order for 15 pounds per person. . We were shocked and didn't know how to react and felt insulted. If it was a matter of making up 30 pounds he could have told us in a better way and we would have obliged as we didn't know this nor someone told us before billing. Upon asking was told that you are "expected" to have the main course and was shown the menu again where something was written in fine print right at the bottom last page of menu which one will hardly notice. Tone was very rude and the behavior was as if we had food for free.Thoroughly disappointed and felt insulted.

To conclude:

I don't want someone to decide what I should be having and I will not be visiting this place nor will recommend...
