Tucked under the shadow of the Wembley Stadium arch, this place has been serving up genuine Indian-Nepalese fusion for over three decades. It's the kind of spot where you can grab a pint for under £5 and still get a proper curry feast. The menu leans heavily on Nepalean influences with an impressive vegetarian spread, and the service is quick without feeling rushed.
A mountain retreat under the stadium arch
Wembley Tandoori is the kind of place that feels like a little mountain retreat in the middle of a busy London suburb. The decor leans heavily into Nepalese themes, and you'll find yourself wondering if you've stumbled into a Himalayan village rather than Wembley Park Drive. The menu is genuinely extensive, especially for vegetarians – way better than what you'd find at most local curry houses.
The food is solid, no-nonsense Indian-Nepalese fare. My go-to is the Bhutuwa Chicken, which comes out piping hot and perfectly spiced. The tandoori chicken gets a theatrical presentation on a sizzling plate that's fun for sharing. Prices are refreshingly reasonable for central London, with pints often under £5. Service is friendly and efficient – they know their regulars and treat you like one.
It's not the fanciest spot in town, but it's exactly what you want after a concert at Wembley or a night out in the area. The location under the stadium arch makes it a natural stopping point, and the atmosphere is relaxed enough for families or groups. Skip the tourist traps and come here for a proper meal that won't break the bank.
