East End Tandoori - (Near Barnet, london)

1 /5 David ONeil: Disappointing, I work across the road, and went here today after work Ordered a keema naan (3.50), lamb korai (10.95), onion bhaji (3.00) and pilau rice (3.00) bringing the total to 20.45 There is supposed to be a discount of 15% at the threshold of 20.45, I watched the member of staff serving me move on quietly, the food can speak for itself. Should have been charged £17.38, was charged £20.45. Most customers wont argue, I certainly wont. You want to rip me off, I will smile and say thank you, but all will hear of what you have done. Youre the one in charge of serving me food and have assured the menu of a 15% discount over this threshold. I didnt even intend to hit the threshold. Keema Naan was tiny, photo attached, and the flavour was problematic, Im not sure what you are doing to your "lamb" but it tastes of chemicals. The highlight of the meal was the "east end special" - Korai - which had a decent flavour and mild spice, but both the mutton and vegetables disintegrated in your mouth, a sign of having sat there for a long while, could be a few days, could be a week. I suppose its ok if youre on life support or forgot your dentures, and there is a care home down the road. Perhaps they are frequent customers. The Bhaji were probably delightful when they were first cooked, but these Bhaji were stale, little greasy rocks of fried onion, they seemed a few days old. The rice was flakey and each grain was distinguishable, but lacked flavour or character of its own. Tasted sterile rather than tasted of rice. There is no seating in this place, it is take-away only, which is good, but you expect competitive food for the pricetag regardless. Also, the yogurt mint sauce? They do actually give it to you with your meal for free which is kind of them, just... it is a shame that it is watered down and out of date. I strongly recommend that prospective customers do not eat this food unless there is no other alternative. Ive tried most of the other Indians in the area and they all seem superior. Some of the chargrilled food looks ok in other peoples reviews but these are the lowest quality cuts of meat money can buy (but dry-brined before marinade) 1) dishonest business practises (its your job to be honest, not my job to catch you) 2) underwhelming food 3) coin is coin, spend it elsewhere. save yourself money. dont buy yesterdays food at todays prices.

1 /5 Rodrigues Mauro (M): I spent a lot of money to have to wait half hour ectra and not get eveything i ordered! I am missing my rice, this place used yk be very good buy it seems like their giving up, deffo my last time here

5 /5 Kyra: Loved the takeaway, the chicken tikka and pilau rice was really good!

5 /5 benjamin: Just ordered from here, and I’m VERY happy! The menu has so many options, so there’s plenty to choose from, and the prices are pretty fair for what you get. The food itself was spot-on; I’d definitely recommend the chicken noodles and lamb biryani—both were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the mood for good Indian food without breaking the bank!

3 /5 R Willis: First time customer - Friday takeaway. Pilau rice was on the bland side and unusually small (standard) portion. The naans were tough and chewy on my order, laboursome, average size and somewhat fluffy, taste ok. Very mediocre basics. The Chicken tikka masala was tasty, good quality, marinaded meat, creamy - decent. However, it did have some small bean type ingredient (possibly chick pea) which I personally don’t like and rarely see from other places, it didn’t spoil the curry though, easily removed. The Ch-Tikka Vindaloo was OK, nice and spicy, the curry sauce was a bit thick, and bland tasting, decent meat. The curry’s were not over oily, my 5-7 yr kids enjoyed the Tikka Masala and rice but not the naans. Total £32 order, no complimentary poppadoms or salad garnishes, sauces given (not marked down for) which is usual elsewhere. The standard overall is on par with local competition but there are a couple that I believe are far better. Overall OK on value, and average on quality. Nothing to shout about, clear room for improvements. I actually used this place due to my usual place having delivery issue on the night, using third party app.
