“ If you are looking for the kind of restaurant where your chef can recommend several courses and leave you completely dumbfounded at to how he knew exactly what you wanted whilst leaving a flavor experience like none other for you without you lifting a finger, here's the spot. You won't regret your choice. ”
“ Went for a little stroll and found this gem. Owner was fantastic and his recommendations were spot on. The paneer with his personal English twist was divine. Appreciate the recommendations, they won't steer you wrong. Would definitely make this a must stop if you are in the area. ”
“ Tourist review. Good Stuff The food was amazing! A friend in our party is from Indian and would not stop talking about the flavors and authenticity of the menu. The table shared multiple dishes. We all had plenty to eat as the portions were larger than expected. The prices were average for the area. No one blinked at them. The portions were representative of the prices as well. Not Great The staff was not overly friendly. It was hard to tell if they were over worked (the place was packed!) or just not friendly. We asked for a table for 8 and were told we could do 2 tables of 4 (no where near one another) or come back in 25 minutes. We came back in 30 minutes and they gave us an earful for being late...not great. It took several requests to get the check. Again, couldn't tell if they were simply too busy for the staff on hand. I'd go back in a heartbeat. The food was delicious and a few grumpy waiters won't deter me from the flavorful delights they serve! ”
“ Amazing Indian cuisine!! I expected no less from London. We had a bit of trouble picking the curries we wanted, so the manager ordered for us!! We loved everything. We got the Lamb Korma (lighter curry shown in photos), Chicken Tikki (amazingly tender; the pieces of chicken shown) and King Prawn Bhuna(darker curry shown). We had naan and rice. Everything was absolutely wonderful. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. ”
“ Great food and service! Was a little quiet, so not much atmosphere, but a great local option if you're in the area. ”
“ Loved the food ! Right spice level ! Ambiance is OK! Will certainly recommend this place for some great Indian food ! ”
“ Lily Tnadoor was very very good. We came here early on Sunday, around 5:30 for dinner. The Yelp reviews enticed us. Apparently they only open at 6PM most days but they have an all day buffet on Sunday, so we were lucky to be able to sit at 5:30. I particularly liked the menu because it had descriptions of the different curries. For example, it explained what a bhuna type curry was: "This dish is cooked in a medium strength thick sauce tomatoes and mixed spices, slow cooking process develops the thick texture of the sauce." Very helpful Lily Tandoori menu! Thank you! Usually I'm just overwhelmed and pick something random. We ordered the Prawn Puree- a delicious prawn curry concoction on a fried tortilla, and the Vegetable Thali, and Prawn Bhuna. The Vegetable Thali provided a lot of different options, both spicy and mild. However, the Prawn Bhuna really blew me away. The flavours were so wonderful, with a large amount of shrimp. It was the perfect amount of spice but also a bit creamy. Incredibly delicious. Service was always very good. ”
