Lingfield Tandoori in Tandridge

I'm thoroughly mystified by all the rave reviews for this place, I can only assume we're in some kind of bizarre parallel universe scenario. I hate to slate a small independent business, but this was the worst Indian food I've eaten - I've had not very good Indian, mediocre Indian, and sub par Indian, but I have never put the food into the bin before. The sag paneer was just.... Weird. All the paneer and spinach was blended, instead of having cubes of paneer sitting in green spinach. Somehow it was yellow, and tasted so sweet it was inedible. It basically wasn't sag paneer, I don't know what was going on with it. The dal was equally as weird and bad. It looked and tasted like leftover tinned vegetable soup. But sweet, again. Why so sweet?? I don't understand. Our main courses were a bit better, we ate my them because if we hadn't we wouldn't have had anything to eat, but they were mostly sauce - and they were bland, we had to ADD seasoning. The main flavours were onion, lots and lots of onion, and syrupy sweetness, and very little spicing. Overall this was just so disappointing. I guess a lot of people must like their food like this for some reason, it's a totally mystery to me though. Positives - friendly service when we ordered and collected, and the food was ready exactly when they said it would be. They seem like nice people, but I couldn't reccomend eating here if you're used to good Indian food, sorry.

worst takeaway i ever had.Chicken didn’t taste fresh at all the chicken tasted rock hard.The potatoes was like slop and horrible.

This place is the absolute doggy's doodahs. Best curry house in the area. Forget the one across the road, load of rubbish, go here instead. The Massala Jalfrezi dish is not from this world and deserves an award. The waiters, Sen especially, are all very friendly and the service is quick and efficient. I'd give more stars if I could.

Charming local Indian restaurant. Fantastic service even though we simply went in for a takeaway. The waiter went out of his way to make us feel welcome and even offered us drinks while we waited.

I was told 45mins for delivery, which took 2.5 hours to arrive. Food was stone cold, bland, overpriced (only 4 pieces of chicken in an £11 chefs special). Arrived without Papadams and staff hung up the phone when I asked for a delivery update. Avoid!

Stunning food. Excellent value!Had to set meal for 1, so much food for 1 person, it was all delicious and so tasty!Staff were friendly and helpful.Thanks ChefUPDATE - ate from here again, 6 months later. Still amazing!

My husband, myself and our baby were here yesterday to celebrate our anniversary. The staff are very polite and friendly. They were lovely to our baby :). The food was served on time, piping hot and tasty. We didn't like one dish but that's just down to personal taste. All the other food we had was just perfect. The desserts were great too. We will definitely eat here again.

Portions were very generous, tasted amazing, great staff, great value for money.

Thank you for the lovely evening. My friend and I arrived late at 9.30pm on a Monday evening, without much hope left to find a decent meal. The staff was very careful and friendly, the dish of the day (lamb) was delicious and although we were very hungry we got more than enough, for a correct price. The restaurant's interior is tasteful and warm with a suitable exotic touch. The bathroom is very clean. Much recommended!

We had a great lunch. It was just us... Service was leisurely, but friendly.
