Gandhi Tandoori

If you're wandering through Woodford Green and your cravings suddenly call for rich, comforting Indian food, Gandhi Tandoori at 712 Chigwell Rd is where you’ll want to stop. This place doesn’t just serve food-it serves full-bodied flavor experiences that stay with you long after the last bite.

Let’s talk dishes first, because that’s really where Gandhi Tandoori shines. Chicken Tikka here is a total crowd-pleaser-chargrilled to perfection, smoky on the outside, and tender inside. You’ll catch a lovely tandoor aroma that hints at the depth of marination. Then there’s the Butterfly Prawn, a dish that walks the line between elegance and indulgence. Lightly crisped, but never greasy, it’s all about texture and zingy seasoning.

But if you're the kind of diner who leans into bold spice, the Meat Madras is your calling. It’s got that kick you expect, but balanced-there’s heat, but also this slow-cooked richness that keeps you going back in for more. ADHA Lamb is another strong contender, especially if you like tender lamb cooked with a generous hand of aromatic herbs. And the Karahi? Let’s just say, if you’re into sizzling skillet-style curry packed with onions, tomatoes, and fiery spices-this is it.

Now, here’s what makes Gandhi Tandoori a go-to spot for so many: the vibes are just right for a solo dinner after work, or a chilled-out evening where you don’t want to cook. It’s popular for dinner for a reason-it’s consistent, quick, and delivers every single time. The restaurant doesn’t have a wheelchair-accessible entrance, which is worth noting, but they make up for that with options-dine-in if you want the full experience, or opt for takeaway or delivery if you're staying in.

And drinks? Oh yes, they’ve got it all. Whether you’re looking to wind down with a glass of red or sip on a spirit while your food arrives, Gandhi Tandoori’s offerings won’t disappoint. From beer and wine to coffee and late-night options, they've set up a well-rounded selection that complements the food effortlessly.

What also stands out is the dessert situation. They serve dessert alongside dinner-perfect for those who believe no meal should end without a sweet note. Whether it’s something light or something decadent, there’s always a way to wrap things up here.

Gandhi Tandoori doesn't try too hard-it lets the food and reliable service do all the talking. It's the kind of place that stays on your speed dial when you want authentic Indian cuisine without the fuss. For those who appreciate a good curry done right, with the kind of balance and heart that’s increasingly hard to find, Gandhi Tandoori checks all the boxes.
