Ryath Indian Tandoori serves homely Indian cuisine on Norfolk Place in central London, just north of the river. The restaurant is a favourite with commuters travelling to and from Paddington Station as well as local residents and tourists. It's a short walk from Hyde Park and is also easily accessed from Edgware Road station.
The food at Ryath Indian Tandoori is all home-cooked in style. On the menu diners are sure to find their favourite classic curry. However, the restaurant changes its menu regularly, so those looking for something new will be satisfied too. All of the food at Ryath Indian Tandoori is halal. It's freshly cooked to order and arrives to the table piping hot. The waiters here are very happy to make recommendations for any diners struggling to make a decision and can give guidance on the spiciness of dishes.
There is an extensive list of starters to choose from. Alongside onion bhaji and mixed grill starters, diners will find the delicious mulligatawny soup, a southern Indian dish with an English twist. The name originates from two Tamil words meaning "pepper" and "water". This probably doesn't do this dish justice; it's made with stewed lentils, rich spices and rice and it's full of flavour.
Other Ryath Indian Tandoori specials include the king prawn delight (prawns marinated in spices, cooked in the tandoor clay oven and served in a rich, exotic sauce) and the gosht kata masala (lamb marinated overnight in freshly ground spices then cooked in a delicate sauce of ginger, garlic and Worcester sauce). A bottle of Cobra beer or a very reasonably priced bottle of house wine complement a hearty meal at this little Indian eatery very nicely.
