Chutneys Restaurant

Chutneys is tucked away round the back of the one way system in Wimbledon and that’s my excuse for now having eaten here despite living in the area for over 15 years.
However, on Saturday, my hockey team had their mid-​season boys’ curry night out here. The restaurant was already busy and boisterous by the time we arrived. They absorbed our group without too much effort
I had already taken a little peep at their menu on-​line and was impressed by the range of different dishes on offer besides the usual suspects like korma, rogan josh, etc.
We took advantage to order a variety of dishes to share from the specials section. This ranged from lamb shank to chicken rajeshwari. The food looked good on arrival but sadly, it was hard to really taste distinctive notes in each dish. I found that the flavours really amalgamated into much the same taste in my mouth
The mango lassi was yummy though.
So the search for my local go to curry house continues

The food at Chutneys is fresh, plentiful and deliciously prepared with the staff always helpful and willing to accomodate you even if the restaurant is rammed. We sometimes order in from here because we live close by and they’re happy to let us have a beer while we’re waiting to take our order home. For the cash strapped they have an all you can eat buffet for only £7.50 so definitely worth a visit.

I am always looking for a good indian restaurant with really spicy curries and last night we discovered this little gem.
After talking to the waiter I opted for a Chicken Tindaloo which according to him was their hottest curry (although Pall is suppose to be hotter and listed on the menu). As always you have to goad them a bit as well otherwise they hold back on the spice. I was not disappointed in the least — I think this was pretty close to the hottest dish I have been served in a restaurant and it was fantastic!
Otherwise; Service is excellent, prices are reasonable, menu is huge (so obivously you can order something less spice if you were so inclined) and portions are decent. Poppadom appetizer was the best I ever had.
