Muswell Hill Tandoori

Until recently this restaurant was called the Alexandra Tandoori, which over the years had changed hands several times and had declined from being rather good to very poor. However, the new owners seemed to have done a effective job in restoring this to a good quality ‘local’ Indian curry house.
So far I have had a number of take away meals from there. Some have been delivered, and this service has been prompt and efficient. The quality of the food has been well above average: I particularly liked their Haryali Chicken, the Gosht Kata Masala and the Sag Rice, but the standard dishes — Lamb Madras, Onion Bhajees etc. — are all good too. The lamb has been well cooked and tender, though on one occasion the chicken in a Korma was slightly dry.
Although I have not yet eaten in the restaurant itself, it is freshly redecorated and the staff have been pleasant, friendly and helpful.
I am glad that an ailing business have been given a fresh start and suggest that any local residents who had given up on the Alexandra Tandoori give its successor a try.
