The Standard Tandoori

I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance while cruising along the Grand Union Canal. We docked by the lock and strolled up the lane to the nearby shops. What a hidden gem we found!

I dined at this restaurant on a bank holiday evening. Upon entering, I found the restaurant to be very busy, but luckily we were able to secure a table for our group of four. We were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome and received good service despite the staff being very busy. However, the highlight of the evening was the delicious food - the dishes were superbly spiced and the portions were generous. This was our first visit to the restaurant, but it certainly won't be our last.

We went on recommendation that this would be a great curry, when ordering the guy taking the order did not understand my order so had to pass the phone to a colleague, when my partners order came it was disgusting, the chicken was clearly frozen beforehand, rubbery and dry, he also asked for the dish madras hot, they just dumped a load of chilli powder into the dish before dishing up, the other dishes provided were very average, won’t bother again!

We have been coming here for over 20 years and the food gets better and better. The waiters are friendly and the service excellent. My Achari Chicken last night was really tasty. The restaurant is always clean and the tables look nice with crisp white tablecloths, etc. Will return again soon.

I have eaten at the Standard Tandoori twice now and both times have been excellent. I will be going again tonight. The food is delicious, the prices are good, and overall it is a great dining experience.
