Indian Food Options in Richmond — What's Available
Richmond upon Thames has a compact but competitive Indian food scene. The borough is served by a mix of established heritage restaurants, newer arrivals, and takeaway-focused operations. For locals in TW9 and TW10 postcodes, the choice comes down to what matters most: authenticity, value, dietary confidence, or convenience.
Jaflong Tandoori has anchored Richmond's Indian food offering since 2008 — 18 years of consistent quality, 403 Google reviews, and the only fully halal Indian restaurant in the borough. It's the restaurant that Richmond families return to week after week.
Indian Food in Kingston — What's Available
Kingston upon Thames, just across the borough boundary, has its own selection of Indian restaurants and takeaways — many clustered around the town centre and Surbiton. The Kingston market tends to favour casual dining and takeaway, with several established names serving the KT1, KT2, and KT5 postcodes.
However, Kingston's Indian food options tend to be more generic — fewer heritage restaurants, less specialisation in dietary requirements, and limited event catering capability.
Delivery Between Richmond and Kingston — Who Covers Both?
One of the most common frustrations for diners on the Richmond-Kingston border is finding a restaurant that delivers to both areas. Many restaurants limit their delivery zones to one borough or the other.

Catering Across the Borough — Who Handles Both Areas?
