What it's like
The Chester Tandoori is the Brook Street Indian, Bangladeshi and Balti restaurant and takeaway, useful for curry, Sunday buffet, collection, delivery and station-side convenience.
The Chester Tandoori is a long-running Brook Street curry house with a broad, familiar menu: tandoori grills, biryanis, Bengali dishes, balti, thalis, seafood, vegetarian sides, naan and rice. It covers dine-in and takeaway, and the Sunday buffet is the bit worth knowing about if you want value and choice.
The right frame is practical, not glamorous. It can work well for a quick curry before a gig, a station-side meal, a low-key family dinner or collection on the way home. It is weaker when you need a polished, guaranteed special-occasion meal.
Worth knowing
The Chester Tandoori deserves a fairer line than “avoid unless desperate”, but it still needs honest framing. Use it for Brook Street curry, Sunday buffet, collection and low-key sit-down food. Do not make it the one perfect Chester dinner.
