The Thames is an Indian restaurant at 79 Waterloo Road, moments from Waterloo station and within walking distance of the South Bank. Its convenient central location makes it suitable for a weekday lunch, a meal before the theatre or dinner after exploring nearby attractions. The dining room offers straightforward table service in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

Starters include familiar choices such as samosas, onion bhaji and chicken tikka, alongside seafood and dishes from the tandoor. A tandoori mixed grill brings together several marinated meats for diners who want to sample the charcoal cooked selection. Poppadoms, chutneys and smaller plates make an easy shared opening for the table.

The main menu ranges from mild and creamy curries to recipes with a stronger chilli character. Butter chicken, lamb dishes and naga chicken sit beside regional house specialities, biryani and a varied vegetarian selection. Rice, naan and other breads provide the traditional accompaniments, while seafood recipes add an alternative to the chicken and lamb dishes.

Beer, wine and soft drinks are available to balance the spice and complete the meal. The broad choice of sauces, proteins and vegetable dishes allows groups to order individually or create a spread for sharing. Consistent Indian favourites, an accessible Waterloo address and service across lunch and dinner make the Thames a practical destination for local diners and visitors alike.
