We had been recommended to visit Reesa by more than one person. We were not disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious. Very high quality. Presentation was outstanding making the over all experience even better. Service could not be faulted. They even made us some onion bhaji, which were not on the menu, showing that nothing was too much. We will most definitely be dining here again and recommend people to visit for a wonderful experience. 10/10 and a huge thumbs up from us

Tangawizi

4.9 (895)

£26 to £40

Indian

Twickenham

About the restaurant

Tangawizi restaurant in London’s East Twickenham, close to Richmond Bridge, earned the well-heeled locals’ devotion right from the off. The chef is ‘trained by and strongly recommended by Vineet Bhatia’ and that’s saying quite a lot. The dining room is very smart, mood-enhancingly lit in saffron and blackberry with details of beautiful sari fabric inlaid in the tables. Dishes are authentic North Indian, but cutting-edge and contemporary, the way we Londoners like them: the freshest of ingredients, little oil, sparkling flavours. Try the mixed platter of starters to share to really browse the possibilities, then choose something like spicy marinated red snapper in tempura batter served with cheddar and Parmesan risotto, with one of the lovely dahls on the side. The traditionally-clad waitstaff are very attentive and the whole experience a winner.

As always, the service was fabulous. The room is classic Brit. The Dover Sole was dependably terrific. You can hear your table mates without shouting. It is a must for me in London

16/11/2024 Had an amazing experience at Rogers kitchen. The food was made with love, passion and from the heart. Carrabean flavours tasted amazing. Could have eaten 3 portions of the salt fish fritters..so tasty. Loved all 3 courses, from the jerk chicken in coconut curry sauce to the Jamaican fruit cake with rum and raisin ice cream, and not forgetting the seafood bisque stew with fluffy roti to suck up all the flavoursome sauce..it was all so deeelish and memorable. Roger is a real gent who takes the time to walk around and greet his customers, considering he's not only the owner, but the chef too. Had the pleasure of chatting to him and learning about his background.His wife Jo is so lovely too and was so happy that she explained the menu to us. The music brought back so many memories for me, old school reggae and some soul tunes suited the food and ambience of the restaurant. A fab experience and loved it all. I urge you to go and experience the true flavours of the carribean at Rogers kitchen. Thank you again.. X

a beautiful calm and surprisingly chic ambiance for the area, with canal views. Exquisite food, a creative and original menu, and outstanding service and care. This was my second visit to Inis, both times have been a real foodie experience, and joy. It so deserves to be better known - even for those not local, very much worth the trip, either for a simple lunch or a special occasion.

Delicious food, the courses were so creative and well thought through. The setting and way the chefs serve the tables was also perfect, not too overwhelming, but really nice to be able to see them plate up each dish in front of you. Also loved the shipping forecast playing in the loos. Delicious cocktails too
