Great food, friendly young staff, reasonably priced. The only downside was the service was a little slow, we waited a long time for our main, everything else was great though, I shall return.Great food, friendly young staff, reasonably priced.

Twickenham Tandoori - Curry-tastic by Mikeaskew

Rating: 5.00Had the pleasure of dining at TT many times over the course of the last decade and can honestly say that I've never had a duff meal.

If you like your curry house to be traditional (pictures of tigers on the wall etc), this is the place to go. The service is good and the fact that the staff know so many of the customers when they walk in speaks volumes for the quality of the grub.

Try the Lamb Jaflong if you're feeling brave...

Food & Drink
Fresh strawberries in my Bellini cocktail with champagne (or sparkling wine) - divine drink. Delicious bread with poppyseeds provided to wipe up a large plate of oil was good. However, I don't like five other people dipping bread they've chewed in 'my' oil. For a table of six I'd prefer two smaller plates of oil - that would halve the germs you're sharing and limit the chance or spreading swine flu from five to two. Better still give a tiny saucer of oil for each person.
My main course of fried duck - sounds less healthy than oven roast but it was as soft as steak, fillet steak.
Two of the men chose the steak but they were not as thrilled as I was. If you choose steak in an Italian restaurant - no comment.
The menu changes regularly and the desserts we had were not those in Sue's pictures. I opted for chocolate dessert with raspberries and others liked it. I preferred the other choice of almond torte (higher than a tart, more like a one level sponge cake) - very almondy, lovely.
My left side companion asked for peppermint tea which came up in a small jug containing fresh mint leaves (the proof is in my picture). She had enough for half a cup for each of us. I had already asked for a single espresso which was served with brown sugar lumps.
If you are wondering about budget, the prosecco wine at Â£25 a bottle was the same price as most of their whites and roses. But you could look for the one rose wine which cost Â£19. I thought the real strawberry cocktail was good value, better than a bottle of wine which anybody can buy cheaper in a supermarket and they go to the trouble of mixing it.

Service
It's a family owned business, just the one branch. The male server was unsmiling and could not suggest anything to suit a ten-year-old girl who wanted plain food. However, he called a young woman who was bright and jolly and suggested the pasta in tomato sauce. Staff obviously don't normally expect to vary the menu nor to cater for guests to bring children, even parents off the plane at Heathrow, bringing well-behaved shy, sleepy, jet-lagged offspring.

Ambience
Understated but elegant surroundings and well-dressed, well-spoken people, women with model girl and bride's mother hair dos. After pubs where patrons use four-letter words, it's a pleasant change to feel like you're invited to a Buckingham Palace party.
I agree with Sue about the noise - it was hard to hear everybody at the opposite side of a large round table - it was even a struggle, whilst talking to the person on my left, to try to overhear the conversation on my right.
Size - weird! The back room extension is larger and appears more spacious because of mirrors. These create a strange optical illusion. Looking in the left mirror I could see a bookshelf. Looking right, no bookshelves! Where were they? The left mirror was reflecting the right mirror which reflected bookshelves hidden beyond the room divider in front of the kitchen door.

Location
From North West London, drive south from Heathrow through Feltenham past Marble Hill House and the restaurant is just near the bridge across the Thames. At night you can drive across and see the illuminated White Cross Inn and more shops.
A Cena has a modest double shop front (a local friend had passed it many times and never noticed it) but it stretches back. A find. We chose it because of the great customer reviews on the internet. Hurray!Food & Drink

Very Expensive Joke!

June 6th Called in a morning and confirmed reservation in the Grill Room for 7pm. Only on arrival to find out due to slower volumes restaurant was closed? The sign on the door directs you to Ma Cuisine which was to serve the Grill Room menu (three restaurants side by side all owned by same person) however they would not offer the Grill Room menu. Since we all came from different dirctions we were "stuck". Food was average at best just like the service. However the bill for 3 people of Â£195 was extremely high and not worth it!

I would strongly receommend you get a 100% guarantee that your reservation is in the Grill Room and as it is run by the same owners as Ma Cuisine...you take your chances...I am not going to try again that is for sure!

Very dispointing as some reviews had been positve!

Worst Restaurant I have been in 40 years!!!!

Rude serice, average food.

I went with some local friends, we have a very large combined income and were impecably behaved yet were asked to leave before a group of swearing, uncouth rugby fans from the North who are unlikely to eat there again, but then again neither are we. Their huge loss, and I shall make sure that people I know from the local area will not go here, the food is incredibly average. Go somewhere else!!!!! this would have no starsWorst Restaurant I have been in 40 years!!!!

Just spent an evening at Pincho and will not be going back.

We decided to start the evening with a glass of Champagne, the owner was serving us and he promised us he would open up a fresh bottle, and at nearly Â£10 a glass we thought it was a fair request. So we decided that we fancied another glass, we thought we'd go all out and have the rest of the bottle. After some fluffing about, the owner returned red faced, he had lied to us and had not opened a fresh bottle for us in the first place!

Anyway... I then found a hair in the aubergine and mozarella dish, a long one.

We then discovered the chicken skewers were half cooked, this was found out whilst eating it as it's so dimly lit inside the restaurant!! We felt like we were going to be sick at that stage.

They need to strongly think about changing the chef and stop lying to their customers. At one stage we were the only customers in the restaurant, so it was not as if the kitchen was busy.

Not recommended, unless you fancy salmonella!

Spice Of India - Excellent Service, Average Food by Foodie_319

If there is one thing you are assured of when you visit Spice Of India it is a warm welcome, professional service and a friendly atmosphere. You always feel that you are being treated as someone special and lets face it we all like to feel special don't we?

It has had a few names (Taste Of Raj being the last one) over the years and has had some facelifts along the way, but unfortunately the internal decoration is quite stereotypical and cheesy, rather than modern and contemporary - you wouldn't want the decorator to do the coving or plasterwork in your living room. It's not the sort of venue if you want privacy either, everything is very open and little too close together.

As for the food itself, it always appears very fresh and hot. There are a wide variety of dishes to choose from, however I do find that the chef is very fond of his coconut (I have found it in a suprising number of dishes, some you wouldn't expect to find it in - not noticably at least) and not fond enough of his spices - too many dishes lack that little something that would take them to the next level. The strongest dish on the menu I would suggest is probably the sizzling tikka's served from a cast iron dish.

It is a very popular restaurant in the Whitton area, so it is often wise to book a table. The staff are very accomodating to your needs, all you have to do is ask.

As an added bonus it does do takeways with a 10% discount, it also does a cheap buffet on Sundays - if you fancy a curry on a Sunday. Prices are pretty reasonable anyway, however I'd rather they charged a few extra quid and improved a few of the recipies to make it that bit more special.If there is one thing you are assured of when you visit Spice Of India it is a warm welcome, professional service and a friendly atmosphere.

The only Italian restaurant in Whitton and thank god it's a good one! It is located slap bang in the middle of the High Street, with a bus stop located virtually outside the door and the overland a couple of minutes walk.

The menu is standard Italian fair, comfort food prepared using fresh ingredients of good quality which is obvious in the taste of the food. There is a good range of pasta and pizza and for those who don't want either there are some good salads and traditional meat/poultry dishes. They also do a mean risotto. For me, the pizzas and pasta are both so good it is difficult to choose which way to go. Portion sizes are large - you would struggle to eat three courses in here and many of the mains would happily feed two people.

Service is very good, friendly, speedy and efficent. The atmosphere is friendly and lively, although it can sometimes get a little loud.

Pricing is cheap; four of us have eaten two courses each including drinks and coffees for just over Â£65. Bargain.The only Italian restaurant in Whitton and thank god it's a good one!

Village Pizza - Best pizza delivery in the area by wordgirl

You know when you get a pizza craving and order a delivery and it's like a soggy circular teatowel covered in nasty tomato puree? Well, Village is the answer. We've tried 'em all, and theirs are the best (promise I don't work for them). They have a seriously long menu with lots of unusual options but the crusts are thin and crispy, the toppings generous, and the cheese always the right melty, slightly toasted texture. Yum. I haven't eaten there - not sure you actually can, in fact - and I know they recently moved and we thought they'd closed down until they reappeared. Hoorah. Biggest veggie range I've had, too: I love the one with feta, or the roasted veggies.You know when you get a pizza craving and order a delivery and it's like a soggy circular teatowel covered in nasty tomato puree?

Brula is a very nice restaurant serving excellent French cuisine. The restaurant is located in St. Margarets on Crown Road, which is not a location you would expect a great restaurant, and it is not that huge, but is surprisingly tasty, it is probably the best French restaurant in Twickenham. It is a great place for a nice meal out, and its steaks are very tasty indeed. And it is pretty reasonably priced unlike some overpriced restaurants in Twickenham which are not even that good. If you are looking for a French meal in Twickenham then I would definitely recommend this.

Rating: 4.00Taste of Mogul is an Indian restaurant on York Street in Twickenham. Itâ¬"s a big restaurant which is rarely that busy but it offers very tasty food. My favourite Indian restaurant in Twickenham was Pallavi in central Twickenham but that has unfortunately recently closed down much to my surprise. Taste of Mogul, though not as good, is a fair substitute. It has a wide selection on its menu, from not so spicy to very spicy, there is something for everyone. If you are looking for a good Indian in Twickenham then I would recommend this place, there is also Naz in church street which is good.Taste of Mogul is an Indian restaurant on York Street in Twickenham.

We have been to this and the Kew restaurant several times.We love the food which is better quality and more smart than the very informal(red checked plastic tablecloths) decor would suggest . We have been delighted with everything except the crepes suzette.
The food is straight out of a Parisian Bistro, and very tasty. It is possible to eat very reasonably.
We also went to their first wine tasting-7 courses each with 100ml wine which was excellent value . We looked at going again but they have put the price up-and the selection/menu was the same.We will go again later in the year.

Tapas y Vino is a small tapas restaurant located just near Twickenham station. It offers a mixture of traditional and specialty dishes covering Spain, the Mediterranean and even delving into Northern Africa. The restaurant is decorated with a Spanish feel and has tables packed in pretty close together so you can get a good look at what your neighbours are eating and perhaps make a new friend or two as well.

Service was mostly friendly - the Serbian restaurant manager was keen for a chat and to tell us about the second branch of Tapas y Vino which will be opening in Kew. The other staff were less friendly though possibly more Spanish.

The wine list had a good range of prices, though I was disappointed not to see a few more Spanish options on the list. We choose a mid-priced Rioja which was very enjoyable.

We were pleasantly surprised by the food - it was actually pretty good. We started with Toast of Catalan bread topped with goats cheese, and the Spanish cured Iberian Jabugo ham. I do love a good goats cheese, and this one was smoky and rich.

To follow we had three of the 'speciality tapas' - the Scallops with risotto and squid ink sauce, the Oxtail in red wine, potatoes & carrots, and the Snails with Jabugo ham cooked in pastry. The scallops were my favourite, and I love how your tongue goes so black from the squid ink ; )

We weren't completely full, so decided to have a dessert as well. How could we resist the Chocolate & Almond Bastilla - a flaky pastry parcel filled with oozy chocolate mixed with almonds. It was evil.Tapas y Vino is a small tapas restaurant located just near Twickenham station.
