Richmond locals asking “What should I order tonight?”
If you’re in Richmond upon Thames, Ham or TW10 and craving a proper Indian, the real question usually isn’t where to order from – it’s what to order so that it travels well, arrives hot and actually tastes like restaurant-quality food at home.
At Jaflong Tandoori, an Indian delivery Richmond restaurant based at 16 Ashburnham Road in TW10, we’ve learned exactly which dishes travel best for takeaway and home delivery.
Indian Delivery Richmond Restaurant: Best Dishes to Order from Jaflong
At Jaflong Tandoori (family-run Indian restaurant & takeaway at 16 Ashburnham Road, TW10 7NF), we’ve been cooking fresh-to-order curries for local families for years. With 40+ years combined kitchen experience and thousands of 4.8★ reviews across Just Eat, Google, Uber Eats, Deliveroo and TripAdvisor, we’ve learned exactly which dishes make the best delivery experience.
This guide breaks down the best Indian dishes to order for delivery in Richmond – whether you’re a first-timer, a spice addict, health-conscious, or feeding a hungry family.
What makes a great Indian delivery dish?
From our side of the kitchen pass, here’s what really matters:
Stays hot & travels well – sauce-based dishes and biryanis hold heat better than dry, delicate items.
Balanced spice levels – something for beginners and spice lovers in the same order.
Freshly cooked, not oily – food should feel comforting, not heavy.
Good for sharing – starters, sides and breads that everyone can pick at.
Reliable delivery – packed properly, in insulated bags, arriving in that sweet spot of 30–45 minutes.
That’s the standard we work to on every order.
Best starters to order for delivery
These are the starters our Richmond customers keep coming back for – because they travel well and still feel restaurant-quality at home.
⭐ Onion Bhajis
Soft and pillowy inside, crisp outside. Cooked in a gram-flour batter so they stay crunchy yet light even after a car journey. Perfect with raita or chutneys.
⭐ Vegetable Samosas
Handmade, freshly cooked to order. Flaky pastry, aromatic veggie filling, brilliant with our fresh mint sauce dip. Great for vegetarians and vegans (when ordered without yoghurt sides).
⭐ Mixed Platter
If you’re ordering for a couple or a small group, this is the “try a bit of everything” option:
Onion bhajis
Vegetable samosas
Chicken tikka bites
Sheesh kebab
Lamb chops
One platter in the middle of the table and everyone’s happy.
⭐ Chot Poti (Bengali street-food classic)
Chickpeas, potatoes, onions, light spices and tamarind. It’s naturally dairy-free, full of flavour and gives your delivery meal something authentically Bangladeshi.
Best mains for first-timers (mild – medium)
If someone is new to Indian food or ordering from Jaflong for the first time, these are your safest, crowd-pleasing bets:
Chicken Tikka Masala – Creamy, mild and slightly sweet; barbecued chicken in a tomato and coconut sauce. Great for kids and curry beginners.
Butter Chicken (Makhani) – Comfort in a container. Silky, buttery sauce, no nuts in the recipe.
Chicken or Lamb Korma – Mild, rich and coconut-y; perfect for those who don’t like heat.
Chicken Curry or Lamb Curry – Classic house curry, gently spiced, not too heavy.
Bhuna dishes (Chicken or Lamb Bhuna) – Medium spice, thick onion-based gravy, great flavour without being too hot. Lamb Bhuna is a personal favourite for tender meat and balanced spice.
These are the dishes you choose when you just want good food, no drama.
Best dishes for spice lovers 🔥
If your usual order has at least one chilli next to it, Richmond’s spice lovers tend to go for:
Garlic Chilli Chicken – One of our most popular hot dishes. Tender chicken with tempered garlic, ginger, peppers and fresh green chillies in a medium-hot sauce.
Jalfrezi (Chicken or Lamb) – Fresh green chillies, yoghurt-based sauce, a proper kick without being brutal.
Madras (Chicken or Lamb) – Spicier, tomato-heavy, with a citrus edge.
Vindaloo (Chicken, Lamb, Prawn or Paneer) – Serious heat, potatoes in the sauce, for people who actively chase chilli.
Naga dishes (Chicken, Lamb, Veg or Paneer) – Only for the brave. Our signature Naga chilli marinade brings intense heat and flavour.
Phall – British-Asian cult classic. Extremely hot, thick tomato and garlic sauce. If you order this, you already know what you’re doing.
If you’re ordering for a mixed group, pair one of these with a Bhuna or Rogan Josh so not everyone has to suffer.
Lighter & healthier options (without losing flavour)
If you want something less heavy than a full curry, these tandoori and grilled dishes are perfect for a lighter delivery that still fills you up:
Mixed Grill – Chicken tikka, seekh kebab, tandoori chicken, king prawns and lamb chops. High protein, great for sharing, minimal sauce, lower oil.
Chicken Tikka / Lamb Tikka Mains – Marinated, barbecued in the clay oven, brilliant with salad and a naan or plain rice.
Salmon Tikka – Scottish salmon with light herb marinade, cooked in the tandoor – ideal if you want something different to chicken.
Wraps (Chicken Tikka, Seekh Kebab, Paneer) – Lighter, handheld options with salad and chapatti bread – good for lunch or a quick dinner.
Veg curries and sides (Tarka Dhaal, Sag Aloo, Chana Bhaji, Veg Bhaji) – All cooked with a light hand on the oil; you can build an entire meal from sides plus rice.
Ask us in the order notes if you want something extra light on oil or dairy – we cook fresh, so we can usually accommodate.
Great choices for vegetarians & vegans
We have a full Veg & Vegan range and can adapt many dishes – just let us know in the notes.
Popular veggie/vegan-friendly delivery orders:
Onion Bhajis & Vegetable Samosas
Chot Poti (vegan street food classic)
Veg Bhuna / Veg Rogan Josh / Veg Balti – rich, flavourful, not just “veg in sauce”
Tarka Dhaal + Plain Rice – simple, comforting and filling
Sag Aloo, Bombay Aloo, Chana Bhaji, Bindi Bhaji – brilliant as a little mezze of sides
Chilli Paneer / Paneer Masala / Paneer Makhani – for vegetarians who love cheese-based dishes
We can usually make dishes vegan on request – especially the sauce-based curries – as long as you flag it when ordering.
Sides, rice and naan that make a delivery meal complete
Some items are “nice to have”, others are non-negotiable. For most Jaflong regulars:
Pilau Rice – Our most-ordered rice; fragrant but not overpowering.
Plain Rice – Good if your main already has strong flavour.
Garlic Naan – Freshly hand-rolled and baked in the tandoor; amazing for dunking in any sauce.
Peshwari Naan – Slightly sweet, coconut and sultanas; brilliant alongside hotter curries.
Masala Chips – Fries coated in our house masala sauce; spicy, messy, addictive.
Tarka Dhaal or Bombay Aloo – Turn any curry into a proper feast with one of these on the side.
Because we bake our breads in-house and keep handling tight, naans arrive soft, fluffy and intact, not dry and leathery.
