Looking for the best curry near Twickenham Stadium? Whether you're attending a Six Nations match, an England rugby international, or a concert at the home of England rugby, you'll want a quality curry within walking distance. Here's the local-expert guide — distances, prices, halal status, and how to skip the queues.
The single best curry near Twickenham Stadium (TW10 / TW1 / TW2)
Jaflong Tandoori at 16 Ashburnham Road (TW10 7NF) is a 5-minute walk (0.4 miles) from the stadium's main entrance. Open since 2008 with a 4.7★ Google rating from 403 verified reviews, it's the closest sit-down Indian restaurant to the ground that opens early on match days.
On every Twickenham match day, Jaflong opens at 12pm — 4 to 5 hours before kick-off — giving you time for a proper meal before the walk to the stadium. Standard opening hours are 4pm.
Top 5 curries to order near Twickenham Stadium
- Chicken Achanak (£12.95) — Jaflong's exclusive signature curry. Mint, coriander, fresh cream in a light sauce. Mild-medium spice. The most-ordered curry on match days.
- Lamb Biryani (£14.95) — Aromatic basmati with tender lamb, saffron and traditional spices. The all-time best-seller. Filling enough to skip starters.
- Tandoori Mixed Grill (£16.95) — Chicken tikka, seekh kebab, tandoori chicken, king prawns, lamb chops. The protein-packed match-day platter.
- King Prawn Karahi (£15.95) — Tiger prawns with tomatoes, ginger and fresh green chillies. Cooked in an iron karahi for that authentic depth.
- Chicken Tikka Masala (£11.95) — Creamy, mild, crowd-pleasing. The safest choice for a mixed group.
Halal status — important for Twickenham visitors
Twickenham draws international rugby fans, many of whom require halal food. Jaflong Tandoori is sourced from trusted halal suppliers — every meat dish, every kebab, every tandoori platter. No mixed kitchen. No exceptions.
This makes Jaflong one of very few halal curry houses within walking distance of the stadium, and the only halal restaurant that opens at 12pm on match days.

Pre-match vs post-match curry strategy
Pre-match (12pm – 3pm):
Book a table for 12:30pm or 1pm — relaxed two-course meal, then 5-minute walk to the ground. Order light if afternoon kick-off (mixed grill + naan, skip the rice).
Post-match (8pm – 10:30pm):
Walk back from the stadium and book a 7:30pm or 8pm table. Or pre-order collection — phone in your order at half-time, collect on the walk back. 10% off all collection orders every day.
Why ordering direct beats Deliveroo on match days
On Twickenham match days, third-party apps surge-price by 15–30%, push delivery times past an hour, and drop orders when drivers can't navigate road closures. Order direct from Jaflong — fixed prices, priority preparation, no commission lost to apps.
Match-day pro tip: Call 020 8332 1339 by Friday to book your match-day table. The 24-seat dining room fills fast on Six Nations weekends — and walk-ins are rarely accommodated 4 hours before kick-off.
