Samrat Tandoori — Restaurant in London

This was absolutely horrible. We used to go here for many years and never expected anything great but you knew what you were getting and then it got really bad. A friend went recently and said it was good again so we ordered food. It went in the bin. The lime pickle was not homemade but from a jar and stale. Everything was bland. The makhani was particularly disturbing as it was not only bland and oily and a nuclear colour but we all found bones in ours that we could not place on a chicken. The bindhi bhaji smelt like fish and smelt gone off to be honest. We tasted it and it tasted the same and as for the tinned new potatoes covered in green slime which were advertised as new potatoes with a green massala paste with chilli etc. The photo says it all. It looks like a great dish for Halloween. Please avoid...

Updated: I've been going here for years and have always been welcomed warmly by the staff, and enjoyed chatting with them. But the guy running the place now has ruined it - he's unfriendly, very rude and abrupt, and the team has changed. I've had issues with missing dishes on takeaways (was told to travel to the restaurant for a refund??!) and service when eating in, I have tried to give it a few chances but after tonight I'm calling it a day.

What a shame to lose a former favourite in the area just down to one person running the place so badly. If they keep this up I doubt it'll last long. Maybe someone who knows what they're doing will take it...

After attending a conference I wanted to eat somewhere off the touristic area and quiet. I started looking for a traditional Indian style food and neighborhood restaurant with good ratings and found this place on Google. I walked for a half hour to this place and I can say that I would gladly walk it again or even more. The place looks classical and comfortable. The service is very precise and of high standards. The food selection is good and the restaurant offers excellent price quality ratio. I enjoyed a traditional dish from Bangladesh with naan bread. And also a delishious starter. I can recommend this place and would go...
