Akash Tandoori Paddington is an Indian restaurant at 500A Edgware Road, near Warwick Avenue and the northern end of Paddington. The modest dining room provides a traditional setting for lunch, dinner and takeaway. Its extensive selection centres on familiar curry house cooking, with options spanning grilled meat, seafood, rice dishes and vegetarian favourites.
Starters include onion bhaji, samosa, seekh kebab, chicken chaat and prawns served on crisp puri bread. Chicken tikka and tandoori chicken are marinated with yoghurt, herbs and spices before cooking in the clay oven. Chutneys, pickles and poppadoms bring sharp, sweet and cooling flavours alongside these opening plates.
Main dishes can be ordered in styles such as korma, bhuna, dupiaza, saag, masala, madras and vindaloo, allowing diners to select both their preferred ingredient and level of heat. Dhansak adds lentils and a sweet and sour balance, while chef specialities provide more individual combinations. Prawns, king prawns and tandoori meats broaden the choice beyond standard chicken and lamb curries.
Biryani combines aromatic rice with meat, seafood or vegetables for a complete dish, usually accompanied by vegetable curry. Lentils, spinach, aubergine, okra and mixed vegetables can be ordered as sides or assembled into a meat free meal. Pilau rice, naan, roti, paratha and chapati complete the table and make the menu easy to share across a group.
