THE VILLAGE TANDORI

The Village Tandori is a tandoori restaurant in Wimbledon that's been around so long it might as well have a family tree. Folks rave about the lamb tikka, which is apparently 'very tender and well spiced.' Service is as attentive as a puppy, and while the menu has one of those massive arrays that seems to promise a culinary adventure, it sometimes delivers sweet overload. Mark was less impressed with his chicken madras, claiming the sauce was so thin it could double as water. Still, if you’re after decent curry and a side of nostalgia, this place might just scratch that itch.

In a nutshell, the Village Tandori strikes a balance between reliable and a bit hit or miss. It’s perfect for family outings, but be careful—some dishes might be sweeter than your grandma's hugs. A decent option for when you want to chill with a curry and a side of history, just steer clear of the watery sauces.
