Tandis

On the strength of the Time Out review, we booked a Sunday lunchtime birthday celebration for 8 people, including two vegetarians. We were absoluely delighted. The food was excellent, the atmosphere relaxed, and the service exactly attentive enough. We asked our waitress to choose a selection of starters for us, and she selected a nicely balanced mixture of yoghurt with cucumber, hummus, and two warm aubergine dips, served with plentiful amounts of Iranian naan bread. For mains, we chose a wide selection of grills, stews, and vegetarian dishes. Everyone was delighted with their choices. The grilled meats are subtly spiced, the stews combine aromatic and sour flavours. The star of the veggie show was Aloo Esfanaaj, described as "a sweet and sour stew of dried Persian plums, spinach and herbs". The portions were so generous that we didn't try the puddings (but we will next time), and confined ourselves to coffee. We didn't stint on the wine (it was a birthday, after all), and the bill came to a very reasonable £27 a head including 12.5% service charge. I don't often award top marks to a restaurant, but Tandis deserves it. We'll be returning soon.

We're lucky to have Tandis as our neighbourhood restaurant, which we frequent on a regular basis. Food is very reasonably priced and is always top class, as is the decor. Interesting artwork. Service is always very professional and staff are attentive.

the food is always EXCELLENT and so is the service & atmosphere. They do deserve a 5 star ranking compared to most other restaurant that we have been to in the area. Its good that they are gonna start FREE FOOD DELIVERY. Can't wait!
