AI Summary

Maddingley Indian restaurant famed for tandoor naan and standout goat vindaloo.

Relaxing, casual dining room with attentive table service; a few reviewers note plastic tablecloths detract from the otherwise pleasant setting.

A tandoor oven for fresh naan (not frozen), a popular weekend lunch buffet with free-flow naan and roti, and a broad vegetarian selection.

Reviewers repeatedly describe the food as authentic, with the tandoor-cooked naan singled out as a marker of genuine technique over shortcuts.

Most reviewers call the pricing reasonable to good value, especially the weekend buffet, though a couple felt individual curry portions or quality didn't match the price.
