Jaflong Tandoori signature dishes — Richmond's family-run Indian restaurant
Est. 2008 · Richmond upon Thames

Richmond's Family-Run Indian Restaurant

18 years of authentic halal Indian cuisine, warm hospitality, and a newly renovated dining room in the heart of Richmond.

18 Years of Heritage, Flavour & Community

Jaflong Tandoori opened its doors in 2008 with a simple mission: bring authentic Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine to Richmond, cooked with love and served with pride. Led by proprietor Syed, whose roots trace back to Sylhet, Bangladesh, we've grown from a small takeaway to a beloved community restaurant.

In 2008, Richmond's dining scene was changing, and Syed saw an opportunity to introduce the rich flavours of Bangladeshi and North Indian cooking — the kind his grandmother made in Sylhet, where spices were ground by hand and every dish told a story.

Over 18 years, Jaflong has become a Richmond staple. We've served over 50,000 customers, catered hundreds of weddings and corporate events, and welcomed sports teams, families, and food lovers through our doors. But what we're most proud of isn't just the food — it's the relationships we've built.

We're also proud to give back. From Ham Fair to supporting schools like Hollyfield, King Athelstan Primary, and Grey Court, to annual charity work in Syed's home village in Sylhet — community is at our core.

"After 18 years, this restaurant is more than a business — it's family. Every guest who walks through our door is part of our story."

— Syed, Proprietor

Our Promise:

trusted halal suppliers-certified meats, extensive vegan and vegetarian options, and cooking that respects tradition while embracing modern tastes. Every curry is made from scratch. Every naan is baked to order in our tandoor. And every guest leaves knowing they've experienced something authentic.
