Most Disliked
While the overall feedback is overwhelmingly positive, some diners express concerns about the limited parking availability during peak hours. It seems that visiting during busy dinner times can lead to a small struggle to find a spot on the street.
A few customers have also reported longer wait times for orders during particularly busy evenings, so patience is essential, especially on weekends. It's crucial to plan accordingly if you’re looking to dine in or pick up your order promptly. Finally, though the menu is vast, a couple of diners have voiced a desire for more vegan and vegetarian options beyond what's currently available.

We have been going to waterhead Tandoori for quite a few years now, and after promising we will leave a review, it's not before time. If you want excellent well prepared and cooked food, this is the place. The food is always excellent, the service is prompt, the premises are so clean you could literally eat your meal off the floor, and Al, is the nicest most polite guy you could ever hope to meet. He's always pleasant, upbeat, and is genuinely interested in how your day has been. The chefs are on full view hard at work, and everything seems to run like clockwork. Myself and Christine, cannot recommend this place enough. Thanks again to Al and his team of excellent chefs, we will continue to buy our curries from this clean, pleasant, well run establishment. Keep up the good work guys.

Second time ordering here and the food was top notch. We had the set meal for 2 which was more than enough for 2 adults and a 9 year old. Wonderfully tasty, not oily at all, just really good food and really great value for 3 of us. Our favourite Tandoori place.
