The Guru Tandoori

We had a fantastic meal at the Guru Tandoori last night (Friday night). Thanks to others' review comments we had no trouble finding it, so that all worked out fine (thanks to others for sharing the detail). Our waiter was welcoming and helpful in respect of allergy advice and our menu choice. Disagree with comments about the venue being dingy - we absolutely loved the atmosphere and the quirky setting. Our table was right by the window and although it was dark outside (so no view of the river) the moon was just about full so there was lots of glistening water alongside us for the first part of our meal (until the tide went out)! This, along with the ambient lighting inside was lovely for us - I'm hypersensitive to harsh lighting, so I'd totally recommend this venue as ideal if you also struggle with this. Also totally recommend the food. I had prawn biryani, very good indeed, no scrimping on the prawns or the flavour - best I've had in a VERY long time. My husband had the vegetable dhansak which he found very tasty. The menu had plenty of choice and was very reasonably priced too. Lovely meal, great service. We were staying in the area (Novotel Brentford) for a visit to Kew Gardens so if you're doing similar we'd heartily recommend eating here after a day in the gardens, it was the perfect end to a very good day.

This place is not visible from the main road because it is inside the cinema building. We followed google map still missed it and had to turn around and kind of guessed of where it was. We ordered chicken tandoori which was very nice and tasty. Also on the side, we had chicken samosas, I must say they were the best chicken samosas I've ever had in my life! Service was pretty quick and the staff who served us was very attentive. The only downside is, the ambience is somewhat not very inviting, decor was dark..way too dark and a bit eerie. PS. Bear in mind the bill isn't included tip.

Great tasting food, fairly swift delivery time. Disappointed with the accompaniments to the popadums tho, just 1 small tub of pickle and 1 small tub of mango chutney between 2 people is hardly sufficient to compliment the popadums, I realise these are complimentary but they are ESSENTIAL to the meal. Please look to address this spicy issue but nevertheless in the words of Arnie "we'll be back"
