And I've just noticed that they have a 50% off food and a set lunch offer on at the moment:

I couldn't really figure out how the 50% offer works. Do you know if it is on dine in bookings made via the website? Guess I can just ring them up :-/

You have to book via the web site. Just click on 'book offer' (a pop-up window will open) and then select your date and time - if the time shows up green then you can take advantage of the offer. Don't think it will be valid over the phone.

In the interests of openness, does your site take a commission if we book from it or is all of your income from advertising. I am not objecting, and indeed happy to support two local businesses rather than just one, but it's always good to know.

hi boroughpaul, just seen your response. I didn't complain on this occasion; ordinarily I would, for example if I had a 'duff' meal from somewhere I regularly use, but this was my first experience of Nawaz and definitely my last. Of course, my taste will differ from yours, but I am confident that anyone tasting the lamb biryani (which is a classic and very simple Indian dish - confirmed to me again now by an Indian colleague). I can, however, assure all readers of this forum that my food was not up to scratch. The same meal, perfectly cooked and tasty, would cost about £12 in Tooting and that would be eating in!

truthmonkey - it's my friend's site and they will earn a small commission for bookings. I couldn't initially find the offer on this site because it's not listed on the special offers page. However, if you go to Tower Tandoori in the restaurant directory you can book online and also get this offer and James's makes some commission!

Agree with Auntie Pat - Mumbai is pretty good - they deliver or takeaway. My two favourites though are Lovage in Queen Elizabeth St which does take away (sadly not delivery but might be worth checking again) or as mentioned before the Tower Tandoori. Bengal Clipper is terible these days - don't waste time or money there. Tower Bridge tandooru even worse - I'm not sure how it still exists.
Now...best chinese?

best chinese is easy peasy. Thames Takeaway on Tanner Street - excellent food, non-prententious (no chopsticks, no delivery, no eat-in just collection) and very good value. We eat from them two or three times a week and I can't sing their praises enough. The woman there can serve and calculate the change for five people at the same time as answering the phone! Everything they do is cooked to perfection.
