The closest curry house to Richmond Park's Ham Gate

Richmond Park is one of London's great wild spaces, and its Ham Gate entrance is the quietest way in. From Jaflong Tandoori on Ham Parade (TW10), you can be inside the park in well under ten minutes on foot. That short walk makes us a natural pre- and post-park stop for runners, cyclists, dog walkers, families and visitors heading in for the deer or the Isabella Plantation.

We're used to picnic orders — sealed containers, easy-to-carry handles, cutlery on request and food packed to travel without spilling. If you're heading in for golden hour or a summer evening, call ahead and we'll have it ready as you walk past. If you're coming out of the park, the dining room is two minutes from the gate; a hot meal and a sit-down are waiting.

We've been on Ham Parade since 2008. Locals know us as the closest proper sit-down Indian restaurant to Ham Gate, and that's a position we've held quietly for eighteen years.
