Pimlico Tandoori

Really lovely place, delicious food and good service. We really liked chicken and fish curry, naan bread and house wine. Sauce is creamy and goes well with naan bread. Location is also very convenient and close to the tube. Also liked hot wet tissue and a chocolate which comes with the bill. Price are not high though, good value for money.

Nice, local curry spot. We are staying a few blocks away and wanted a simple curry. Wife had tikka masala, which was good, but different than any tikka I’ve ever had. It almost had an american BBQ taste to it. Good, but different. I had chili masala, hot, well seasoned. Service was good overall.

I I just had an experience that could have been very disappointing but actually transformed into a wonderful experience. It all started with a small take away order I phoned in for an order of Sag Panner ‘mild’ and a side of rice. I’m staying in the area for a month and was excited to try the local Indian spot. My humble order was taken efficiently and I was told to pick it up in 15 mins. I’m still jet lagged so this is a late night order.
I pick up my order, very nice space and seems like a great place to eat in as well. I pay and leave, get home and start to gobble up my sag and to my surprise it is SO sweet it tastes like candy. It’s so strange, now I am a huge cook myself and I know immediately that a significant amount of sugar was added to the lovely dish. I can barely eat it it’s so sweet. I decide I should call to explain that I think that someone has switched the salt and the sugar, something seems really wrong with this dish. I speak with the man that I placed my order with and he explains to me that when someone orders that dish mild, he adds sugar. He says next time I should ask for it without sugar. I replied that I have never heard of this and I’ve never eaten there before so how can I know that he uses sugar. He asked me what I would like to do, and then he says I can make it again if I can come pick it up, they are about to close. I really want to like this place so of course I agree.
When I returned he apologizes that it was so sweet, and he proceeds to replace that along with giving me a complimentary piece of nan, papadum, and some onion salad.
I have to say that in all my experiences of dining at many restaurants from takeout to high cuisine, what matters most is the heart and the soul of the restaurant. This restaurant has a good heart and that goes a long way for me with my dining choices.

We had a delicous dinner at Pimlico Tandoori while on vacation and staying at a flat nearby. It was so good that our daughter (12), who had never had Indian food, asked to have it again a couple nights later. That’s a huge endorsement in my book. The prices were reasonable, the service was good, and the food was SO tasty… great flavors.
I wish we’d had time to go back a third time before we left!

The best garlic naan I’ve ever had. Great mango lassi. Saag and chicken tikka were fantastic, and I love the coconut rice. Service was also exceptional. Wish I lived closer and could come back often.

My boyfriend and I went here and received one of the worst service experiences I’ve ever had. The waiters when asked for anything seemed angry that you needed anything, the restaurant had just opened! The food was decent except for the Naan. We ordered two of them and both came not completely cooked all the way. I will never go here again and would not recommend.

The service was very good and the food was delicious. A family of five that included three small children were treated very well and the staff was very attentive to them. This did not take away from the attention of the other patrons. It was well staffed for dinner service. I gave it a 4 star rather than a 5 star only because I am used to restaurants in my neighborhood that include rice and sauces with a meal rather than charging extra. As I said though, the food was very good.

We stayed in an apt down the street from Pimlico Tandoori. Even though there were plenty of restaurants within walking distance of our apartment, we went twice to this tiny and charming neighborhood place in a short period of time. The Balti chicken was so good the first time that we ordered it the second time as well. We tried other dishes and they were all very good and reasonably priced. The servers are very attentive and friendly. If we lived there we would be going every week to be sure.

Well below average Indian restaurant with many incarnations.
I live around the corner from this place but would never go back after my last visit.
I ordered a one dish takeaway that comes with rice. I got it home with the name of the dish written on the 2 boxes. I opened it up and it was a chickpea dish that I not only didn’t order but different from the named item on the box! Alarm bells as to how this could happen with only one chicken dish! Not only was it likely not cooked to order, it was likely taken from another pot in mistaken identity!
I called them and went back for my original order. They were not apologetic and even accused me of possible foul play! What a cheek!
Got home and ate there, well below, average fair. Give this place a wide birth.

I really wanted to like the place but the service was bad. We were the first people in when it opened (at 6). I call the younger tall waiter over to order a starter and as he walks away he shakes his head like if he was dissatisfied with me ordering naan with a starter. Ten minutes pass and no water, so I had to ask for water. Right here we should have walked out but we had walked around all day and were starving so we decided to go all in. When the naan came with the chicken tikka, I was disappointed. The naan was rubbery, dry and tasted like pizza dough. The tandoori chicken was great and the lamb vindaloo was spot on but, the coconut rice was too powdery although it tasted great and mixed well with the lamb vindaloo. Overall, the food was good (besides the naan) but the service was bad. There were two waiters for just us, for about ten min until another couple came in. There really was no excuse. The shorter, older waiter was fine, but it felt the younger one didn’t want to serve us.

We made a visit while staying at a friend’s flat. He recommended Pimlico Tandoori. It was delicious. The Naan was really good and I had the Chicken Jalfrezi with a cold Kingfisher.

Good value for money and a nice way to warm up from the inside out on a wet day in Pimlico.

Right around the corner from where I was staying — lovely spot with excellent food and pleasant service. Food was very good, they were helpful with recommendations and attentive without being overbearing. As it got busier the service was a little slowed but that seems to be the standard in London (or at least where I am eating) so I was not bothered. Prices seemed a little high, other than that it was a gem.

We stayed just around the corner from this local gem. Very decent place. Surprisingly un-​touristy. Prices decent, service attentive and knowledgable, what’s not to like?

We asked the server to recommend a lamb dish to have with the lamb biryani. Both were below average but the service was excellent given that it’s not a very expensive restaurant.

The sag aloo is so satisfying with just a hint of spice and loads of flavor. The vegetable korma is really good too, and I had to stop myself from just swallowing it like a pelican. The service is excellent and quick with friendly, polite staff.
The atmosphere is so romantic. It’s a great little neighborhood date night spot and I wish I could have had a leisurely dinner with a glass of wine and my sweetie by my side instead of waiting for take away, but that’s what next times are for.
I didn’t fancy the samosas. It wasn’t bad, but I’m used to something different. I ordered a mango lassi and I was confused to find I had been given slices of mango instead of a drink. I had asked where my lassi was and they said it was in a take away box, and I thought maybe they didn’t have cups or something. Then when I opened it, I wondered if maybe it’s just different in the States.
Overall, I recommend Pimlico Tandoori. It’s very good. You will stuff your face.

While staying in Vauxhall, we found Pimlico Tandoori on Unilocal. It was only a fifteen minute walk from our flat at St. George Wharf. The food was much tastier than any Indian food we’ve found in Los Angeles. The Korma, Tikka Masala and naan dishes were highlights. The server smiled when we ordered the Vindaloo after warning us it was very spicy… I’ll admit is was a little too «hot» for me, but the others at our table loved it. They were very busy, but we made reservations online and had no problem getting a table. We were only in London a week, and went to Pimlico Tandoori twice! Definitely recommended.

Awwww presh! Tucked away deep in Pimlico, this fine little curry spot is a delicious delight and merrily served up some mighty fine curries at 11:30pm on a chilly Monday evening. YUM.
Unlike the other reviews, PT wasn’t packed. However this resulted in super fast service, piping hot dishes, and overall royal treatment. I enjoyed all of the dishes, but nothing particularly blew me away. Although with three fish dishes, two orders of rice, one order of naan and three glasses of wine coming out to £50 (including service), I would certainly put this in the great-​value-​for-​money category.
While I wouldn’t hop on the next train to Pimlico to make a second visit, I’d happily pop by again if ever in the area.

Just back from Pimlico Tandoori. The food was just about what you’d expect at a neighborhood Indian restaurant, and the vibe was comfortable and pleasant. The woman who greets you at the door (not sure if she was the owner or hostess) was very welcoming and friendly.
We ordered a bunch of different dishes; chicken curry, Balti steamed rice, dry vegetable curry, Shami kebab. Everything was well prepared and tasty, though I have to say, not out of the ordinary. Also, the service was very clumsy. I think it was the kids first night or something.
Good place for a competent Indian meal though, and I’d probably go back sometime soon.

It seems to me that every week there is a new Indian restaurant in Pimlico, honestly, they spur from the ground like flowers in the summer, but not all of this flowers are pretty or delicious, this one is!
It has the classic tandoori specials, but the ingredients are so fresh that you lick your fingers. My favorite is the chicken tikka massala at £7.25, it might seem a bit expensive, but the portions are very well served. The only thing is they only deliver if you are close to the restaurant, other wise they have take away, and the restaurant is small but charming, I would recommend to actually go and have a meal there. The service is kind and welcoming.
