Jaflong Tandoori is an Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant and takeaway on East Dulwich Road. Its dining room serves lunch and dinner, while collection and delivery extend the same broad curry house menu across the surrounding neighbourhoods. Tandoori cooking, Northern Indian inspired curries and a generous vegetarian selection make it easy to build either a focused meal or a larger spread for sharing.
Starters include crisp onion bhaji, vegetable samosa, chicken tikka and tandoori chicken marinated with yoghurt, herbs and spices. The clay oven also produces mixed grill, chicken tikka and other smoky combinations served with naan. Poppadoms, chutneys and cooling mint sauce provide familiar accompaniments, allowing a table to begin with contrasting crisp, grilled, sweet and tangy flavours.
Main courses range from creamy butter chicken and chicken tikka masala to Punjabi chicken with a stronger chilli character. Garlic chilli chicken brings fresh peppers, ginger and garlic, while lamb balti is cooked quickly with tomatoes and spices in a deep pan. Shahi paneer, paneer jalfrezi, black lentil daal and mixed vegetable curry give meat free diners several substantial alternatives.
Chicken, lamb, vegetable and chicken tikka biryani combine aromatic basmati rice with herbs and spices, accompanied by vegetable curry. Quorn can be prepared as balti, korma or jalfrezi, expanding the vegetarian choice beyond paneer and lentils. Pilau rice, garlic naan, Peshwari naan, tandoori roti and chapati complete a menu suited to combining several sauces and textures in one meal.
