A Village classic that keeps getting better
Wimbledon Tandoori has been holding down the Ridgway for over 25 years, and after a recent refurbishment, it's looking better than ever. The dining room is warm and comfortable — not flashy, but the kind of place you can settle into for a long evening. Chef Rabi Thapa has added some standout specials to the menu that go beyond the usual curry-house suspects, and the wine list is genuinely impressive for an Indian restaurant in this part of London.
The tandoori dishes are the real draw here — properly charred, smoky, and cooked with care. The curries are solid and reliable, and the staff are attentive without being overbearing. You'll find a mix of Wimbledon Village locals and the occasional well-known face, which tells you something about the place's standing.
Is it the most adventurous Indian food in London? No, and you shouldn't come expecting that. But for a dependable, well-executed meal in a pleasant setting, it delivers. The Tripadvisor rating of 3.6 feels a touch harsh — the Google score of 4.1 is closer to the mark. Book ahead on weekends, as the Village crowd fills it up quickly.
