 Winner Michelin Bib Gourmand award 2007, 2008 and 2009 Rich in colour and vitality, Tangawizi - meaning 'ginger' in Swahili - is another in the new breed of Indian restaurants. That means thoughtful design with clever use of skills and saris, attentive and elegant staff but, above all, cooking that is original, fresh and carefully prepared. North India provides much of the influence and although the à la carte menu offers plenty of 'safe' options, there are gems such as roasted then stir-fried 'liptey' chicken. Diners should, however, head for the 'specials' section where the ambition of the kitchen is more evident. Lamb is another house speciality and is marinated to ensure it arrives extremely tender. For cooking this good, the prices are more than fair. |

 Time Out Eating & Drinking Guide 2008 Perhaps Tangawizi has come up with a blueprint for a new type of suburban curry house. It’s obviously a success, attracting young local diners (including the occasional British Asian couple), yet it serves properly prepared North Indian food. The surroundings doubtlessly help. This is a relaxed, hip enterprise with attractive staff, a backlit bar and tables inlaid with sari fabric; background beats and purple lighting lend a chilled nightclub vibe….everything we sampled spoke of a dab hand in the kitchen. |

Modern surroundings & funky purple lighting give this local Indian a pleasant, contemporary feel. There are a few unusual dishes, but it is the freshness & clarity of flavour in favourites like jalfrezi , rogan josh, chicken tikka masala & dhal tadka that comes as the most welcome surprise. The competent, mainly north Indian cooking is enhanced by lovely service & ungreedy prices. |
