Syed Bashar · Proprietor

Our story

A family-run kitchen,still working to be the best in town.

Jaflong Tandoori has been run by the same family since 2008. No head office, no chain playbook — just our own family in the kitchen and on the floor, six evenings of prep a week, grinding spices fresh and baking every naan to order in the tandoor.

Being "the best Indian in Richmond" isn't something we think you can claim once and keep. It's earned again on every plate, so we keep tasting, tweaking recipes, retraining the pass and reading every review — the critical ones most of all. Eighteen years in, we still cook as if the table is family, because most weeks it genuinely is: the same regulars, the same names, the same order-without-looking-at-the-menu.

Meat comes from trusted halal suppliers, rice is Laila gluten-free basmati, and nothing leaves the kitchen unless it is good enough for our own dinner table. That standard is the whole job, and we intend to keep raising it.

"After 18 years, this restaurant is more than a business — it's family, and we're still trying to do better than last night."
— Syed Bashar, proprietor

  • Halal sourcing

    Trusted halal suppliers

    Meat and poultry come from suppliers providing halal-certified products. We are not a separately certified premises, and we will say so plainly if you ask.

    How we source
What we stand for

Four standards we are happy to be judged on

Values are easy to write and harder to prove, so each one below links to the page where you can check it for yourself.

  • Quality

    Ingredients we can name, and stand behind.

    Meat comes from trusted halal suppliers, rice is Laila gluten-free basmati, and spices are ground in-house rather than bought as ready-made pastes. Every dish has a published allergen breakdown.

  • Consistency

    The same plate, whichever evening you visit.

    Curries are finished to order, naan is baked in the tandoor when you order it, and the kitchen holds a 5/5 food hygiene rating. Recipes and portioning are set by the family, not improvised shift to shift.

  • Care

    Looked after like family, not like table 12.

    No service charge, BYOB with no corkage, and clear dietary guidance before you order. If something isn't right, we would rather remake it than have you finish a plate you didn't enjoy.

  • Improvement

    Still trying to do better than last night.

    We read every review across Google, TripAdvisor and the delivery platforms — currently 4.9/5 from 5,700+ of them — and the critical ones shape the next week's prep more than the glowing ones do.

Our Craft

Why we're not just another Indian restaurant

In an age of dark kitchens and 15-minute curries, we still cook the way Sylheti grandmothers taught us. Every dish, fresh to order. Every spice, ground that morning. This is the difference Richmond comes back for — week after week, year after year.

500°C Clay Tandoor

Every naan, kebab and tandoori dish is fired in our traditional clay oven — the same way Sylheti chefs have cooked for generations.

Hand-Ground Daily

We grind our masalas every morning from whole spices — cumin, cardamom, fennel, cloves. Never pre-mixed, never shortcuts.

Halal-Supplier Sourced

Fully certified by the Halal Monitoring Committee. The standard British Muslim families trust — verified, not assumed.

Family-Run Since 2008

Founded by Mr. Syed and run by the same family for 18 years. No chains, no franchises — just one kitchen, one obsession.

We don't cook for trends. We cook for the families who've been coming here since 2008, and the ones who'll be here in 2040.

— Mr. Syed, Founder & Head Chef

    The Chicken Achanak is genuinely the best curry I've had in Richmond. Spices are fresh, the tandoor char is real, and the team remembered us on our second visit.

    Ordered direct through their site — delivery in 35 minutes, food still piping hot. Lamb Shank Nihari was outstanding. Much better than the delivery apps.

    Booked for a family birthday — 14 of us. Syed and the team looked after every detail. Halal was clearly labelled and our vegan guests had proper options, not an afterthought.

    Been coming here for over a decade. Consistency is the story — same warmth, same standard. The King Prawn Bhuna is still my go-to after all these years.

    Catered our office lunch for 30 people. Everything arrived on time, beautifully presented, and the biryani was the talk of the office for a week.

    Genuinely lovely family-run place. Not the flashiest room, but the food and hospitality far outstrip the fancier spots down the road. Byob is a nice touch.
