Indian Restaurant Mortlake, SW14

Mortlake keeps a village rhythm beside the Thames: the High Street and station, Mortlake Green, the brewery site redevelopment and the towpath that fills every spring for the Boat Race finish. It is a neighbourhood that orders in often, and wants the food to taste like a kitchen rather than a delivery depot.

Jaflong Tandoori has cooked for SW14 since 2008 from 16 Ashburnham Road in Ham, about fifteen to eighteen minutes away by car. Delivery to Mortlake usually takes 30–45 minutes, grouped on the same run as East Sheen and North Sheen. We confirm a realistic time when you order rather than quoting a number we cannot keep on a busy Friday.

Every dish is cooked to order in a clay tandoor and pan, with spices ground in house. Curries for delivery are finished slightly thicker so they hold their heat down the towpath side, rice and breads travel separately from the sauces, and tandoori items are rested before boxing so they arrive dry-edged rather than steamed.

We hold a 5 out of 5 Food Hygiene Rating from Richmond Council, a 4.7 out of 5 Google rating from over 400 reviews, and Just Eat Local Legend status for Richmond. Only halal chicken and lamb is served, from trusted halal-certified suppliers, with no pork on the premises; we hold no restaurant-level certification and say so plainly. There are 15+ vegan dishes and 30+ gluten-free choices on the same menu.

Ordering direct is the better deal: 10% off every collection, £5 off delivery orders over £40, no third-party app mark-ups, and BYOB with no corkage and no service charge if you eat in at Ham.
