I enjoyed the vegan tikka masala with their seitan/tofu and creamy sauce. I wish that there were vegan naan options too like there used to be, though, as only the boiled rice was a vegan side.
The food at Tiffin Tin is, in my opinion, better than almost any Indian restaurant I know. I say "almost" because there are a few excellent, generally 'modern' Indian eateries such as Babur, in Brockley, which are in a different league both for food and price. However, compared to most high street joints, Tiffin Tin is far superior.
One aspect which I always appreciate is that the kitchen is open, so if you stay to watch you can see that everything is indeed cooked fresh, from scratch, and you can observe that the standard of hygiene is good.
My favourite dish is Mirchi Lamb, which contains plenty of good-quality pieces of meat in a rich and tasty sauce, and always one or two quite deadly little chillies which anyone with a delicate palate should fish out! (I love them)
The mixed veg curry is also excellent, with a big variety of vegetables, moderately spicy.
If you like to go to order in person, service at the counter is always friendly. You get a couple of nice crispy poppadoms as a freebie, and the only very slight let-down is the rather cheap mango chutney (like runny jam) which comes with them.
All in all, a great way to enjoy good Indian food!
Great variety on the menu. Freshly made food which tasted great.
Friendly staff.
