Historical version 2 of Tower Tandoori, SE1 4TP (view current version)

Decent enough Indian restaurant near the south end of Tower Bridge Road. It's definitely a cut above your average curryhouse. The prices are also slightly higher than average, though the portions are generous enough. (Warning if eating in: the interweb suggests that the beer is rather expensive.)

They offer takeaway and delivery as well, and you can order online at Hungry House.

Kake, Bob, and doop tried the takeaway option, paying £50 total for ample food for four people (us three plus one person's worth of leftovers). Chicken dansak (£6.50) was good, with large, tender pieces of chicken, lentils that had retained some shape instead of collapsing into mush, not too much sweetness in the sauce, and an average amount of chilli heat. Paneer-stuffed minced lamb patties (£4.25) were also good, as were the lamb samosas (£2.75).

On the other hand, lemon rice (£3.50) was quite average, and Bob's keema naan (£2.75) was "nothing to write home about". A side dish of spinach with lentils (£3.50) was slightly disappointing; and in fact the vegetable dishes all sounded relatively uninspiring in comparison with the rest of the menu. However, we did only try that one vegetable dish, so will have to reserve proper judgement until after our next order.

Overall: Will order from here again, though not if we're feeling poor. Needs another try before we can come to any real conclusions.
