Tamasha

A Monday evening dinner, we enjoyed a nice glass of chilled white wine in the Polo Bar served by a helpful bartender with a waxed handlebar moustache, the restaurant represents colonial rule in India and the restaurant celebrates the elegance of the British lifestyle and the natural beauty of India; ratan, white tablecloths, wooden blinds and polite be-suited waiters and silks and turban wearing individuals adding to the restaurants authentic efforts with it's theme. We had the usual papadams served with excellently prepared dips, coconut, mango, fresh diced onion dips as a starter, main was a spicy chicken, cauliflower bhaji, cucumber yoghurt, peshwari naan and an aromatic rice, all excellently prepared and served. It's not really a restaurant for those who try to compare the prices of this venue to the "flock wallpaper2 and plinky plinky tuned restaurant that were the rage in the 1990's, there is no comparison.. a west end quality restaurant in the south east..

Wonderful ambience- very classy. Service is good and the food is delicious. One of the very few restaurants these days that bother to greet you at the door and take your coat! One of my very favourite restaurants.

Best Chicken Shaslik one of our guests had ever tasted!!

Fantastic cocktails in the lovely bar area before dining, and as always great food and service.

Excellent food and service in spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated surroundings.

We had a fabulous taste experience. I first visited the Tamasha restaurant 21 years ago and I have always said I would like to go back. The food is still excellent. The service is excellent and the waiters very friendly. I cannot fault any of it. Its quite expensive, but as in all things in life, you get what you pay for.

Fairly good reception. Food was nice but a bit too pricey. Not child friendly. They should notify customers of rude pictures in the toilet or have kids toilet. I was personally very upset having to explain to a 6year old.

Great location/ well presented. very friendly staff, good food. over all good evening

This was my 3rd visit, and it did not disappoint. I took my parents as a treat and they were both very impressed. We had pre-dinner drinks in the bar with a great selection of whiskeys and gin. Our meal was fabulous. Dad loved the Nawab-E – Gosht - commenting on how the lamb was so tender; my mum who is nervous of high heat-spiced food loved her Chicken Gulabi...and I loved my hot yet very tasty Chicken Manchoori. I also highly recommend the Chicken Nilgiri Tikka starter - shocking green in colour, and very moist and very aromatic. We had a thoroughly enjoyable meal, with attentive friendly service, in a warm cosy atmosphere and I can't wait to go back again.

Have not been to Tamasha for at least 2 years and was really disappointed. No atmosphere in the place, getting cocktails completely wrong and most disappointing was that the last time we came it was my 10 years olds birthday and great fuss was made and even though this time I let them know in advance that it was my 14 year olds birthday, no fuss was made and not even a happy birthday. After 15 years as a customer will not be coming or recommending this place again
