About the restaurant
Tandoor Chop House comes from the guiding hand of the ultra-successful Ennismore group, which operates the Hoxton hotel group in London and around the world as well as the historic Gleneagles hotel in Scotland and a handful of standalone restaurant concepts. The Adelaide Street location was followed up by another Tandoor Chop House in Notting Hill.
The restaurant couldn't be better located, just opposite Trafalgar Square at the southern tip of the West End and within a few hundred metres of some of Soho's best bars. The room is dark but spacious, and just as suited to a business lunch as a blowout with friends.
As the name suggests, this North Indian-inspired restaurant's speciality is meats and chops, heavily spiced and cooked in the kitchen's tandoor ovens. Amritsari lamb chops are a standout, as are the pillowy naans and onion bhaji rings, and a thali menu that serves two to three people is available for £60.

Critic reviews
The Guardian
There’s no sign of any flock wallpaper, but this concept-heavy clubby new Indian should concentrate on the food
Standard
When you enter Tandoor Chop House, just off the Strand, the first thing you’ll notice is the smoke — and the meandering scent of grilling meat, roasting chillies and emanating spice rubs.
The Infatuation
Tandoor Chop House is a modern Indian restaurant specialising in North Indian-style tandoori meat and breads, which sadly means that there’s no curry on the menu.
Time Out
It’s basically a twist on what you’d get in an old-fashioned Brit ‘chop house’, only using Indo-Punjabi spices and swapping the grill for the tandoor. It’s meaty, fiery and smoky.
The Nudge
As the latest venture from the group behind Eggbreak in Notting Hill, it’s a sophisticated affair. You’ll slide onto scarlet leather banquettes beside reclaimed oak-panelled walls, with smooth marble tables overlooking the open kitchen and its three brass Tandoor ovens.
