Dulwich Tandoori is a family run Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant at 54 Lordship Lane in East Dulwich. Open since 1982, it has remained a neighbourhood fixture by preparing spices in its own kitchen and cooking dishes to order rather than relying on one shared base sauce.
The clay oven is fired for each service, producing charcoal grilled chicken tikka, lamb chops, seekh kebab, salmon and king prawns. Mixed grills allow a table to compare several marinades and cuts, with naan and chutneys completing the selection.
Balti and korahi dishes are cooked quickly with onion, pepper and tomato, while biryanis layer basmati rice with meat or vegetables and arrive with curry on the side. Bangladeshi fish dishes, Kashmiri recipes and familiar curries broaden the menu beyond the tandoor.
Vegetable thali, paneer, Quorn and a long list of vegetable sides make it practical to assemble a meat free meal. The restaurant also offers collection and delivery, and guests with allergies should tell staff before ordering because nuts, dairy, gluten and other allergens occur throughout the menu.
