Tandoor Chop House – which was previously included in Time Out’s ranking of the 20 best Indian restaurants in London – has closed down for good..

The restaurant, which opened on Adelaide Street a decade ago, was also on our list of the best restaurants in Covent Garden, alongside the likes of J Sheekey, Town and Frog. It offered an excellent twist on an old-fashioned British ‘chop house’, only using Indo-Punjabi spices and swapping the grill for the tandoor.

Our four star review of the restaurant compared it to a ‘less hectic, more refined mini-me of the original (St Martin’s Lane) branch of Dishoom’. Our critic added: ‘There’s so much to love about TCH, I don’t really know where to start.’

Despite its many fans, the restaurant closed without warning last month. ‘We are now closed,’ states the Tandoor Chop House site. ‘Thank you to all of our customers over the years!’

No reason has been given as to why it has shut, but its not the only restaurant in London to close its doors recently, with vegan Club Mexicana in Soho recently shutting up shop. Club Gascon in Smithfield will also be serving its last meal next month, after 30 years in business.
