Yes. Our last visit was somewhat disappointing. The food was OK but not the expected great and the price was way over the top. In the past Tandoori Nights have been more expensive but that bit better. Not so with our last visit.

Wow MP - that was a quick reply to my post. Only two years, five months and two days!

I went to Jaflong on Sunday night. First time since it first opened. The food was delicious and the service exemplary but I woke up in the early hours with an upset stomach.

Tandoori Nights was great when it first opened - many moons ago .....


Judging by my last visit there (recently), it's now absolutely rubbish.


Main course described on the menu as "with green chillies" arrived without a hint of chilli, green or otherwise, and totally bland.


Cobra six pounds a bottle. Six pounds!!!


Nobody came to ask us how our food was (we would have told them!!!!) during our meal, despite the fact the place was empty (not suprised), then they expressed surprise when we crossed off the "service" charge.


New owners, new chef, who knows. Absolutely dire.


Won't go back. Ever.

It's a shame- I would've thought with the abundance of curry houses on LL it would drive quality up and prices down, but nothing seems that much better than average. My picks are surma and Dulwich tandoori but neither is particularly excellent. If pushed I'd say Surma was the best if only for their chicken jalfrezi.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
