Agra Tandoori

The contemporary Indian interior is barely detectable from the conservative outer façade of Agra Tandoori, but once inside it is a cleanly composed riot of colour. The walls showcase vivid artwork and a beguiling, intricately decorated window sensitively separates the bar from the restaurant.

Agra Tandoori is intimate, providing an atmospheric setting for a wildly experimental dining experience. The menu is informative for the novice, and extensive to accommodate the family, ranging from the gentle warmth of a korma to the scorching inferno of a vindaloo.

To start, the meat samosas are a sneaky little opener. The warm, wholesome flavours of the beef soon give way to a zealous heat, complemented beautifully by the clean, crisp salad accompanying the dish. While onion bhajis often tread a fine line between moist and greasy, those served at Agra Tandoori are walking the taste test with the most succulent precision.

All breads are cooked from scratch upon ordering, meaning the whitest most steamingly delicious peshwari naan is only 15 minutes away from your starter.

The korma is one of the most curious and elegantly spiced dishes with a lovely mellow fruitiness. This was juxtaposed with the special mixed bahar, a feisty meat feast with chicken, lamb and prawns jostling for tender taste supremacy. Bounteous main dishes are served impeccably to your table, from a trolley to a hot plate, urging diners to share and sample dishes, bounding from one texture and aroma to another.

Once the penultimate chunks of tender meat have disappeared, an enticing selection of desserts is available. Whether you’re in need of a cooling ice cream or indulgent fudge cake, you will leave Conningsby a very pleasantly surprised and devoted Agra Tandoori customer.
