Great tasting curry. Freshly made with good quality meats. Went there twice during my 5 day visit to Walthamstow. The owner is a really friendly and helpful guy. You can even bring your own beer!

Ordered from deliveroo but they use their own driver who turned up 35 mins after estimated time. Ok maybe traffic, can forgive that. Most displeasing is the price for the amount of food you get. £2.75 for 1 chapati!!!!! Genuinely shocked. Curry was watery and not much in it. Biryani was best.

I was passing late in the evening looking for an Indian restaurant to eat in. I decided on Forest Tandoori.Rolled up, found a parking spot right outside the restaurant. Walked in and was seated by an Indian waitress. She was very polite and courteous.I ordered Popadoms, Mango chutney, Garlic Chilli Chicken, Tandoori King Prawns and plain rice.Being bengali myself i cannot get away from rice and curry, i love it. If i eat out i want to try something slightly different than what is cooking at home.The popadoms was served first, they were nice as i expected along with my favourite mango chutney.The Garlic Chilli Chicken was nice just needed a touch of salt. The rice was perfectly boiled and fluffy, the portions were a perfect amount.Tandoori Kingprawn is a speciality of mine. The king prawns are expensive themselves and it is one of the priciest items on the menu understandably. I love King Prawns so i had to order.I have to be honest, the King Prawns lacked the tandoor taste and did not appear to have the right texture i am used to. It wasn't all bad, it was ok but missing the Tandoori flavour.The other point i am slightly dissapointed about. I didn't realise in the restaurant, only after i had left. I asked for 2 poppadoms and mango chutney. I was served Mango chutney, onion salad and mint sauce on 1 tray. I received 2 extra items which i didn't ask for.When the bill came i did ask the lady what the £3.75 was for, she said Mango chutney, i thought it was a bit expensive just for mango chutney but i didn't question it. Only looking at the menu now, after i see each item is £1.25 each which now makes sense.Nevertheless she did say to me earlier on she was new, honest mistake. However her service was very good. Bought me water when i asked for it. Bought me salt when i needed it. She bought me the bill and freshening wipes along with an after eight mint chocolate - another one of my favourite chocolates.This is a dry restaurant, no alcohol served on premises. They do have a corkage fee.

Been coming here for over 12 years even after I’ve moved around 30 minutes away. I travel to collect sometimes, although we have plenty of nice restaurants local to me. I only ordered one curry and rice and one naan - it cost me over £25 WITH 10% off collection! When questioned why the prices are so high - I was told that it’s been increased and that they have 5 star reviews but in my opinion it’s way too extortionate for any takeaway especially in Walthamstow - it’s actually day light robbery at a time when living is really difficult for people and eating out is a luxury. It’s greedy and I can only imagine that they will lose a lot of custom from this as I will not attend again. If you were to consider a family of four ordering an Indian it would cost them on average without starters £30 each - honestly disappointed with management at this one. Best of luck anyway.I would also like to add that my local Indian (also delicious) charges £29.99 for 2 starters, 2 naans, 2 mains, 2 rices and 2 vegetable side dishes. And this is with delivery. Honestly I’d think about your prices again, it’s about quantity of sales that matters._________Your response is rude and for that I’ll lower my stars. I understand rates are high, we also run a business on a high street but that doesn’t excuse the fact that your food is almost double the price of other restaurants. Your business is not in central London. Over £30 for a curry, rice and one naan is extortionate, now we can agree to disagree but I will not be returning and I don’t want a refund thank you very much. I was stating my opinion that your prices have most definitely increased to much! I’m sorry that offended you but I still have your food high stars hence why I’ve returned for years even when it was a different management.You also mentioned for me to continue using my local (cheaper) restaurant and that they won’t last long but they’ve been open for over 40 years, so I doubt that will happen.Best of luck!

Recently able to visit the forest tandoori, had two excellent nights, great food ,music and plenty of tap water. The service was excellent explaining the menu to see what would be best for our taste. Good to be able to come back, certainly will be back soon. Thank you

Their service is second to none, whether you eat in or take away. You are met with a genuine greeting. The onion Bhargis are to due for. Bring your own wine and pay a small corkage fee per person. Great idea.
I first came to Forest Tandoori in 1978 when it was the hub of Wood Street. The new management have absolute first class service. The foid was second to none. The onion bhargis were to die for. I highly recommend and ask for Dipti she is an amazing server. Enjoy friendsVegetarian options: It all depends what what you want the chef will cook to order.Dietary restrictions: Full allergies and Intolerances on the menu. Very cautious and you are ask as wellKid-friendliness: Yes very welcomeWheelchair accessibility: Very spacious tables can be moved to be accommodated. There is an accessible toilet.

One of the best halal indian/bengali restaurants in the area Wood St in Walthamstow. Great biryani and chicken tandoori. The service was also excellent and friendly. Parking also available nearby.

Checked out venue itself but time didn't allow for a sit-in dining experience, yet, so had order delivered. Arrived hot and tasty, and even well presented. Will 100% be ordering again, and fully recommend.
