Mahatma Tandoori is an Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant on Bexley Road in Eltham, serving the local area through dining in, collection and delivery. Its broad menu follows the familiar curry house format, combining dishes cooked in the tandoor with aromatic sauces, rice dishes and a substantial vegetarian selection. The range suits both a straightforward individual meal and a larger shared order.
Samosas, onion bhaji and other savoury starters lead into chicken tikka, lamb tikka and tandoori chicken from the clay oven. The grilling process gives marinated meat a roasted edge before it is served on its own or worked into a sauced main course. These opening dishes can be combined with chutneys and salad, or ordered as part of a wider meal built around several contrasting flavours.
The curry list spans gentle, creamy preparations and much hotter choices. Tikka masala and pasanda provide mellow richness, while balti, bhuna and rogan josh offer deeper spice and tomato notes. Madras and vindaloo bring more heat, and diners can choose among chicken, lamb and other fillings across many of the established styles.
Biryani combines seasoned rice with meat or vegetables for a complete main dish, while vegetable sides include saag paneer, chana masala, okra, aubergine, Bombay potato, cauliflower and tarka daal. Pilau rice, mushroom rice and other rice variations help build a shared spread. Naan and further Indian breads are useful for gathering sauces, completing a menu with plenty of scope to adjust richness, heat and portion size.
