A neighbourhood curry house that earns its loyal following
If you live anywhere near Eastcote Village, you already know about this place — and if you don't, it's worth the trip. Eastcote Tandoori has been serving up freshly made Indian food on Field End Road for years, and the locals are devoted. One TripAdvisor reviewer went so far as to call it "easily my favourite Indian restaurant in London," which is quite the claim when you consider the competition across the city. The food is cooked to order, which means it's not the fastest curry in town when they're busy, but the freshness is obvious in every bite.
The menu covers all the classics you'd expect — chicken, lamb, and prawn dishes feature prominently, and the portions are generous enough that you won't leave hungry. It's the kind of place that works equally well for a sit-down meal or a takeaway on a Friday night. The atmosphere is unpretentious and welcoming, the sort of neighbourhood restaurant where the staff recognise regulars and the food does the talking.
One thing to note: the venue has gone through some changes over the years, including a stint as Himalayan Monal, so it's worth checking the current name and status before you head over. Regardless of the sign on the door, the quality of the cooking has kept people coming back, and that tells you everything you need to know.
