Lingfield Tandoori — Restaurant in Tandridge

I'm thoroughly mystified by all the rave reviews for this place, I can only assume we're in some kind of bizarre parallel universe scenario. I hate to slate a small independent business, but this was the worst Indian food I've eaten - I've had not very good Indian, mediocre Indian, and sub par Indian, but I have never put the food into the bin before. The sag paneer was just.... Weird. All the paneer and spinach was blended, instead of having cubes of paneer sitting in green spinach. Somehow it was yellow, and tasted so sweet it was inedible. It basically wasn't sag paneer, I don't know what was going on with it. The dal was equally as weird and bad. It looked and tasted like leftover tinned vegetable soup. But sweet, again. Why so sweet?? I don't understand. Our main courses were a bit better, we ate my them because if we hadn't we wouldn't have had anything to eat, but they were mostly sauce - and they were bland, we had to ADD seasoning. The main flavours were onion, lots and lots of onion, and syrupy sweetness, and very little spicing. Overall this was just so disappointing. I guess a lot of people must like their food like this for some reason, it's a totally mystery to me though. Positives - friendly service when we ordered and collected, and the food was ready exactly when they said it would be. They seem like nice people, but I couldn't reccomend eating here if you're used to good Indian...

Phenomenal service by san and a lovely meal

My husband and I walked in off the street for a quick dinner, and the waiters welcomed us warmly as soon as we walked in. Even though the decor felt tired but the atmosphere was pleasant and friendly. The food was as good as the service. Quick but not rushed. The price was very affordable 73 dollars for 3 drinks 2 big meals a starter and a glass of yummy wine that San brought me a taste of so I could decide if I liked it. My husband and I have been on vacation to Barcelona, Paris, and now London, and hands down these are the best services we have...

When eventually the food arrive to the table it was good, but the wait to be served was laughable, especially when the place was not exactly bursting with customers. The Staff were totally uncoordinated, with more than one waiter asking for orders especially for drinks and then managing to get them wrong. If these places gave more priority to the sitting down customers and not the take-away, which seem to come and go constantly without effort, then they may get more people in the door. 1st time we have eaten there, will go back to ordering a take away next time as you get your...
