Tandoori Nights

The perfect curry highly recommend perfect level of spice and texture and a final push for pudding

The three of us were visiting the UK to research my next game (The Ruins of Cawdor) and attend the World Science Fiction Convention in Glasgow. England was having the worst heat wave in recorded history in 1993, so after several sweaty nights I finally booked a hotel instead of B&B to have air conditioning and a pool for one night. They closed the pool to add chemicals at 4:00PM and we warned a swimmer before he got in and then forgot about it. We asked the concierge for the best Indian Food, noting that we had a car and didn't mind driving, and he pointed us here.

The forgotten swimmer was in the family that owned it. He certainly remembered us. It was one of the most amazing meals we've ever had. I doubt many people get as much free food as we did, but it was all to our tastes based upon what we did order, and we were sad that we had no way to bring the leftovers with us after breakfast. All in all, two adults and an eight year old had some nine different items, and all were the best of its type we'd ever tasted. I recall the peshwari naan as amazing, the chicken biryani light and not at all greasy, everything was spiced flawlessly to my wife's generally milder tastes, and the korma was a revelation. They were very crowded, but we showed up as the Saturday crowd was thinning. Our next trip to the UK we will plan a return visit even though there is less scheduled for our next trip in the Midlands.

Tandoori nights has always been a very popular restaurant for authentic indian food. However i strongly recommend to visit the restaurant and not to order take away as the quality is not as good.
The food is reasonably priced and the service is good but does get very busy and sometimes we have had to wait for service.
Make sure to book in advance for weekends

Tandoori nights serves quality food and is reknown for the quality so does get booked very quickly.. Booking is almost essential for every Thurs, Fri and Sat.
Due to it's popularity it is always busy- this for me is a down fall as sometimes it appears too busy and hinders service a little. Do not take my review as negative, I just like dining somewhere a little less frantic. The great tasting food always makes up for any niggles I have about 'too many people' sydrome! Definately worth a visit!

We placed an 130 pound order with these guys, I called upon delivery to let them know they missed a meal (mine) which they said no prob. The guy I placed the order with then called back and corrected me that I never ordered it and was not charged for it. Well...there were 2 extra meals that no one ordered. I tried to be polite with him but he continued to tell me off and that I was wrong, and that he gave us "free" wine... he said he could delver my meal if I wanted to pay. I MIGHT say I messed the order up if it were not MY meal. But it was MY MEAL!!! Cant believe how rude he was, will never order from here agaiin period!!!! As youll see from other reviews and if you ask around NOT a good place for take away.

Good authentic indian food - staff dress in authentic indian dress and are very friendly.


Trendy modrn decor.


Be careful not to get rushed through your meal - aske them not to bring out mains too quickly as when we have been we have been rushed through three courses within an hour!!


However do not let this put you off as the food is really good and price is reasonable.

Went to Tandoori Nights a lot of times in a regular basic.But really must say.Always I got the Feeling they want you quick in and Out.The Food was been always very nice.
But will never go again.We asked if we could book for a Sat.in July in the late afternoon a table for our wedding Guest(about 30 people).First we got the answer,well that is taking costumers of us??
Why?we would be there for around 3 hours (Party is on a different place) they would have to open a little bit earlier,yes and ???We would leave with drinks at least 1000 pound there!!!! Well they dont need the Money.Fine.We found a place somewhere else.Can just say Anouki in Derby is brilliant .

Excellent cuisine here. The curries are tasty and the extras such as naan bread are delicious. I had a great night here due to the staff being very helpful as I was being very indecisive about what to order. I wanted a hot curry but seemed to take my fancy so one of the waiters gave me some advice and I went with the Chicken Jalfrezi which was a delightful choice. It was very tasty and rich in flavours and they put extra coriander on as I requested. The naan was hot, crispy and full of flavourjust as naans are ment to be. The decor of the place was very interesting too and I would recommend this place to anyone

Excellant resturant, with very good food and service. Reasonably priced.
