Ahmed Tandoori Restaurant

Wimbledon town centre restaurant curry review

Slap bang in the middle of Wimbledon town centre is Ahmed Tandoori, next to Barclays Bank and opposite Centre Court shopping centre. So, a fabulous choice after Wimbledon's Winter Wonderland event on Thursday. When we sat down and had a good look round we immediately thought the1980s-style decor (including fish tank) could do with an update and the tatty menu wasn't good for first impressions. However, undeterred, we ordered poppadoms, which came with a variety of dips. The staff were extremely friendly and were happy to suggest dishes. We opted for tandoori chicken on the bone, chicken jalfrezi, and saag aloo, plain rice and a couple of chapatis. The tandoori chicken arrived on a bed of fried onions and a jug of mango yoghurt sauce on the side. It had great flavour and got a thumbs up from both of us. The jalfrezi was spicy, as expected, spicier still if you ate one of the many green chillis included. We both agreed the saag aloo was one of the best we had eaten. With two pints of beer and two glasses of wine the bill was just £31. One of the cheapest curries we have had for a long time (probably since the 1980s). If you're not worried about fancy decor, but like good food, try here.
