I was quite apprehensive at dining alone at such a prestigious high end establishment, but i was happily surprised as soon as i walked in. The staff were incredibly professional and attentive, but also so helpful and friendly. I didn't feel alone at all. Always a smile and a listening ear to hear how wonderful the food and drink were. The food was incredible. With little upfront knowledge of what the menu would contain, i was relieved it was full of dishes i would have ordered myself, with seasonal ingredients presented and cooked in excitingly new way - for me anyway. It was all so well presented and described. Thank you all for making me feel so comfortable, welcome and incredibly fed!

Twickenham

About the restaurant

Tangawizi restaurant in London’s East Twickenham, close to Richmond Bridge, earned the well-heeled locals’ devotion right from the off. The chef is ‘trained by and strongly recommended by Vineet Bhatia’ and that’s saying quite a lot. The dining room is very smart, mood-enhancingly lit in saffron and blackberry with details of beautiful sari fabric inlaid in the tables. Dishes are authentic North Indian, but cutting-edge and contemporary, the way we Londoners like them: the freshest of ingredients, little oil, sparkling flavours. Try the mixed platter of starters to share to really browse the possibilities, then choose something like spicy marinated red snapper in tempura batter served with cheddar and Parmesan risotto, with one of the lovely dahls on the side. The traditionally-clad waitstaff are very attentive and the whole experience a winner.

Wonderful place, certainly a few notches above your typical Indian restaurant. Lamb chops and chocolate samosas particularly good.
