Samrat Tandoori Restaurant is an Indian and Bengali restaurant at 320–322 Barking Road in Plaistow. The dining room supports lunch, dinner and group occasions, while collection and delivery provide alternatives for customers eating at home.
Coal-fired tandoori cooking is an important part of the menu, appearing in chicken, lamb, kebabs and king prawns. Bhajis, samosas, chaat and puri dishes give the starter selection variety before the menu moves into curries, grills and rice dishes.
Signature choices draw on Bengali ingredients and techniques, including fragrant naga chilli sauces and shatkora citrus preparations. Classic curry-house dishes sit alongside chicken, lamb, fish, seafood and vegetarian specialities, with biryani, rice and breads completing the table.
Set meals and thali-style combinations make it easier to sample several elements in one order. The restaurant asks customers to notify staff about allergies and cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment. Diners should discuss nuts, dairy, gluten, mustard, shellfish and kitchen cross-contact before ordering.
