Royal Tandoori Whyteleafe - Fine Indian Dining 209 Godstone Road, Warlingham, Whyteleafe CR3 0EL

"Great little local restaurant with lovely atmosphere. 3 of us dined and started with some drinks and poppadoms. They came swiftly and the restaurant wasn't too busy which meant it was pleasant to chat and relax. We eventually ordered mains, I must admit we were waiting for some time and asked to order. I think you have to finish your poppadoms before you can order mains because we weren't allowed to keep them while we waited for our mains. Now the restaurant wasn't busy as I mentioned but for some reason our drinks and mains took ages, and even then we didn't get our naans for another 10 mins or so.....we had finished our mains when we asked about our drinks, eventually they came (just a bottle of coke and a lemonade) but couldn't help thinking we were waiting a lot. Food was not bad. They didn't mind that I ordered tandoori chicken with my curry and we're happy to offer some rice suggestions (mushroom rice). Personally one portion of rice could easily be shared between two. The bhajis were good and the naans fluffy. I ordered butter chicken, which varies a lot from place to place and it was flavoursome and not spicy, which I like. My friend had a vegetable curry and I think it was a balti....both enjoyed their meal very much. One friend often visits here and has had much more experience than my one time visit and he loves the place!! It was reasonably priced for the three of us at around £40 (no booze) a head but honestly I'd expect all round better service for that price. Oh by the way if you are driving there's a car park just a bit further up the road that's free in the evening and less than a min walk away. Please do try this place but personally I prefer Chat House Tandoori, all round more to my liking."

"Another great meal out at the Royal Tandoori in Whyteleafe. The restaurant always seems very busy and always does great food. Had various starters and mains over the past year and never had a bad dish. If you are not sure what you want just ask them to recommend something like I did with the garlic lamb which they then also made a bit warmer."

"Dining in was a nice experience, lovely staff and restaurant was clean and has a modern look. Food was lovely however expected better from the food due to the price… The food was very pricey in comparison to other curry houses in the area, which was a down sider but still a nice dining experience"

"Good food and great service, nice choice on the menu."

"Away for the night at the Travelodge in Whyteleafe and just up the road is Royal Tandoori, good reviews on here so I decided give it a try, the place is nicely decorated and spacious, parking nearby and friendly staff, the food was delicious, Chicken Shashlik for Mains with Garlic Nann and Mushroom Rice which are really good size for a single person, slightly higher in price than most places I visit but still value for money, definitely return if I'm down this way again.."
