Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere in this restaurant. Met up with a couple of friends for a pre-Christmas dinner and was thoroughly impressed!

The food was excellent.....I had the King Prawn Peri Peri which was absolutely delicious and a side order of aubergine bhajee....again delicious.

The service was both attentive and friendly...and even though the restaurant was very busy...the staff make an effort to make you feel welcome!

Great location as well..

Will definitely being going back in the new year!

We had a Bollywood Xmas party here and it is one of the best nights I have had in a long time! It was a unique and raucous occasion!

I have been here before and the food is always excellent with the staff friendly and efficient. It was a three course deluxe menu which is not their usual a la carte (I had the lamb shanks which is lamb cooked on the bone in a delicious garam masala sauce...mmm!)

They have recently put a new cocktail menu in place which has a quirky collection of names, but delicious to taste (try the new tandoori nights signature drink.....Tandini).

The dancers were colourful, energetic and fun...and then invite customer to come up and learn a few moves. Good to watch my colleagues having a go!

All in all a great night!

Went Tandoori Nights for a friends leaving party and it was a great night!The food was excellent....

I ordered a meat thali and my friends ordered an array of dishes too numerous to mention!

The staff was friendly and helpful, especially with the various surprises we had organised for him and generally found them to be good sports on what was a fairly boisterous night!

The atmosphere was busy and lively for a Thursday night..and would recommend to anyone!

Booked a table for 5 at Tandoori Nights and have to say that food here was superb.

My colleagues work in the area and this is by a long distance one of the better indian restaurants in covent garden.

I had the hervazi kebab to start with followed by the karahi lamb with a side order saag paneer, pilau rice and garlic naan....very, very good and very stuffed!!

The service was friendly and attentive with the atmosphere being a mix of theatre goers, tourists and us, local workers!!!

The manager gave us a drink on the house for guessing all the movie characters on a quirky painting that they have on their main wall!

Although we were wondering why it was up in an indian restaurant.....oh well...who cares....it was a free drink!!!!

Had read good and indifferent reviews of this place, but have to say that my experiences has only been good!

good food and friendly service. I had the lamb karahi and my mate had the chicken vindaloo (hot!)

They've got an interesting picture on the wall of old movie stars and they run a competition (i think a bit ad hoc, but good fun) that if you can name all of them you win a free drink...!

If anyone knows the one fourth from left, please let me know as that's the only i could'nt get!!!

anyway a thoroughly good night that I recommend to anybody!!

There are quite a few indian restaurants in covent garden and I've checked out all of them as I work in the area.

The food here is excellent and staff are very warm and friendly.

If you like a classic curry, but with something more creative then I recommend this place highly!

I have to say it is the best curry in Covent Garden and a good buzzy atmosphere on Thursday and Friday nights!!!

Awful, awful restaurant.Staff were rude to me on my birthday, leaving me in tears after just half an hour of being there.

Though the food, to be fair, was tasty, the service was poor. We ordered two different potatoe dishes (one a mumbai curry, and the other a fried dish) and were told 'They're both the same. Potatoe and potatoe are the same thing, do you understand?'

I do not pay to take rubbish from anyone, and had it not been for my 20 guests, I would've kicked up a much bigger fuss.Ridiculous night, ruined my birthday, will NOT be returning.

This place is a joke, I truly dont understand how it got any decent reviews.

The food at Tandoori Nights was very good. I particularly recommend the Chicken Xcutti (not sure of the spelling!), the staff are friendly and take the time to have a chat. The wine menu is good but I do recommend the house wine as it is a good choice. I think the one thing that really stuck out for me about Tandoori Nights is that in the middle of central London, you feel that you have a local!

Tandoori Nights is a bit of a celeb spotter place, or so I've heard. Not that there were any famous people there when I went. I love a bit of curry, so Tandoori Nights was a nice night out for me. The food was good, but not that good - for the price.
