Excellent choices of flavourful authentic dishes reasonably priced with good portion size Service attentive though not obtrusive. will return. Recommend reservations as is a busy spot.

As usual, our visit to the Imperial Tandoor was exceptional. We've learned through many trips you don't need to order a lot of things. So we stuck to an old fav Butter Chicken, and tried a new veggie Korma, Nilgiri Korma. Both excellent. And of course some Samosa and Naan. Took some friends with us. It was their first time. They were both suitably impressed. The dining room is always a pleasure, service was excellent and Jimmy (Nitin) never fails to welcome us.

Staff was set up to receive us ... lovely waitress did not hurry us and was very helpful in making menu choices as some of our party were new to Indian food ... service was prompt, food was excellent and price was very reasonable ... no complaints at all ...
