About

The Thames Indian has been a fixture on the London dining scene since 1985, delighting city dwellers and tourists alike with its Bangladeshi and Indian food and keenly professional service. Cosy and welcoming, the clean, modern dining room with its almost hotel-restaurant look is situated only a few moments from the best of the South Bank, a hop, skip and jump from Waterloo Station while its very close proximity to the IMAX cinema makes it a popular choice for pre- or post-movie dining. Packed with well-known curry house favourites, The Thames Indian’s menu is familiar in its choices while also providing a few surprises in those less often sampled specialties of the house fresh from the homely kitchens of Bangladesh. Regular offers, including an excellent set lunch, ensure that The Thames Indian offers competitive prices, while its stalwart status is a guarantee of quality both in food and in service.

A Memorable Family Feast at Thames Indian Restaurant

A Memorable Feast at Thames Indian Restaurant

My family and friends recently dined at Thames Indian Restaurant, and we were absolutely delighted by the entire experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere set the stage for an unforgettable evening.

The service was impeccable—friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to make our visit special. The staff guided us through the menu, offering great recommendations that perfectly suited our tastes.

Now, let’s talk about the food—every dish was a masterpiece. The rich, aromatic curries, the perfectly spiced tandoori dishes, and the fresh, fluffy naan were simply divine. The flavors were authentic and beautifully balanced, showcasing true Indian culinary artistry. Each bite was an explosion of taste, transporting us straight to the heart of India.

We particularly loved the butter chicken, which was velvety and indulgent, and the lamb biryani, bursting with fragrant spices. The vegetarian options were equally impressive, with the paneer tikka, white rice and dal standing out as favorites.

To top it all off, the desserts were a delightful surprise—the mango kulfi and gulab jamun provided the perfect sweet ending to an already fantastic meal.

Thames Indian Restaurant has truly mastered the art of hospitality and cuisine. We left with happy hearts, full stomachs, and a promise to return soon. If you’re looking for an authentic and delicious Indian dining experience, this place is an absolute must-visit!
