About this restaurant

Good for groups
Romantic
Vegetarian-friendly

We are now Open for the Festive season including Christmas Day! Please book in advance as we have limited availability.

One of the oldest Tandoori restaurants in London conveniently located close to Tower Bridge and London Bridge has had a major makeover, with lovely new decor and lighting, but it still offers the same sumptuous Indian cooking that has made it a favourite for over 44 years in Bermondsey and London. The light, bright frontage leads into a warm, modern stucco dining room with mocha leather seating and traditional artwork and pierced metal wall lights. Chef Abedin's award winning menu includes dishes like starter of smoky chops and achari paneer tikka, main courses of murg makhani and mughlai lamb shank, or one of the many expert tandoori dishes. Add some naan, raita, rice and a glass of complementing wine from the well devised drinks list, and you will be glad you made the trip.

Tower Tandoori has been a favourite of ours for many years. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing; the food is delicious and not at all heavy or cloying; the service is just right - attentive and helpful without being too intrusive. The new interior and some of the new menu items are really good for photos, too.

It's incredible to think that nowadays at 10pm on a Saturday night it's challenging to find a restaurant open near the London Bridge area. Fortunately, my local Indian restaurant Tower Tandoori accepted my booking on OpenTable. There was one slot left at 11.30pm. Immediately following my booking, someone at the restaurant called to explain that we would need to order before 11.30pm. I said we'd be there by 10.45pm anyway. We were given a warm welcome and the food was absolutely delicious. I can recommend the lamb shank and the chef's summer special - chicken chettinad - was really tasty. This restaurant has been here since 1978 and has recently undergone refurbishment. I used to visit a frequently when they had an Indian banquet every Sunday. I spoke to the manager about this and was delighted to hear that the restaurant is considering bringing this back once a month. If you're looking for an excellent Indian restaurant in the SE1 area I cannot recommend this one enough.

A trip down memory lane for me, this used to be my favourite Indian restaurant in the 80’s and 90’s. Although the decor has changed, the food, friendly and efficient service remained the same. Fantastic to see that Shab’s sons have taken over exactly where their Dad left off. Will definitely come back again when I am next in London. Loved the Dhaba Gosht and the tarka dal was amazing.
