Found myself in the Thames Ditton area, in the later evening, as my local Claygate supermarket had shut earlier than usual, and I ended up in another supermarket, in this village. Had never had a takeaway from here before, so I decided to give it a go. Owner/Chef seemed a really pleasant, friendly chap, and the menu had genuine Sri Lankan and Southern Indian dishes, so I was excited to see that. Ordered a Dosai, Tikka Paneer Shaslick and a King Prawn Jalfrezi. I can confirm the food is freshly made to order, in situ, and not cooked in advance, a few hours before - it took time, but I wasn’t in any rush, so that did not bother me, and I like the slower, fresh, made to order, style. The Jalfrezi was fantastic, and the Paneer Shaslick good. Overall I really enjoyed it.

Avoid. Kitchen dirty and place a shambles. Used delivery service and apparently an hour late is ok and not deserving of cnx or refund. Unfortunately untrustworthy

We ordered on Deliveroo, which stated an hour it turned up after 2 and was pretty cold. When we rang and asked they said it was on its way but still took an extra 50 minutes when we rang back they didn’t answer the phone. Curry was very oily

I discovered this little gem of a restaurant after frequently dining at Spice House In Tolworth and I have to say this is my NEW favourite in the area. Chef Thanga is an esteemed and well respected international chef who has worked at some of the most prestigious hotels in the world and every dish he makes is made with love. This is a family run take-away with Chef Thanga and his wife holding down the fort. As. British Indian, I am very fussy about where I eat Indian Food owing to the plethora of Bangladeshi restaurants pretending to be Indian. Everything is prepared fresh, as someone who has a gluten intolerance, Chef Thanga knows how to deal with allergens and avoid cross contamination. I recently celebrated a birthday and was planning an Indian food lunch for friends and family, I was about to change my plans to an evening dinner (as the kitchen does not open till 5:30 pm) but Chef Thanga went out of the way to open up his kitchen in the morning and have the food ready by lunchtime this illustrating his commitment to customer service. The food here is better than Dishoom and I would recommend the saag chicken, crispy mushrooms, Masala Dosa and chick pea curry. In fact these are my favourites but the whole menu is fantastic I look forward to visiting Chef Thanga again and he is more than my local takeaway, he is a friend and asset to the community/

Very friendly and knowledgeable chef. Always tasty food. Good range of dishes. Head chef gave me some medicinal soups when I felt unwell during lockdown which made me feel better. Thank you Thanga

I ordered and paid online for collection. When I turned up to collect I was told they had not seen the order as they had not checked the online orders. Then had to wait 20 mins for them to cook my order. When I got home I found I was missing part of the order and the 4 poppadums I had ordered were actually 3 scraps of burnt poppadums shown in picture. They did eventually send out the missing parts of the order with there delivery driver but by this time we were eating almost 2 hours after ordering! Will not be going back.
