"I got a bit tired of going to my usual curry take away and decided to google take aways around Stroud for an alternative. nargis Tandoori ranked highly on the reviews in the search. So I plucked the courage picked up the phone and ordered away a mini feast of vegetarian delights. The man on the other end of the phone was well spoken and charmingly courteous. The food will be ready in the usual half an hour (not sure how this has come about as the optimal waiting choice)Having driven and parked in the car park opposite the police station, a momentary saunter and you’re confronted by a tiny understated Nargis Tandoori. The door was shut making you thing they may not be open. On trying the door they were! The waiting room really does look like one taken from a real Indian family: stark walls, a telly with an Indian malodramatic drama, the bizarre religious cheap prints and the obligatory security camera behind the make-shift counter with the diy cables in open view. A few minutes in and a man appears from a predominately hidden set of stairs. He is generous and offers me free samosas with the meal and waives the cost of an extra Nan bread. He’s willing me to like this food. I’m won over The food you ask. What about the **** food. Was it any good? Here I’m afraid things take a turn. The chick peas were flavourless. The vegetables pakoras were non greasy nice but again with little flavour. The spinach and cheese and cauliflower sides were smothered in powdered ginger and the speciality veggie roshunwalla had obvious frozen baby carrots and more of the powdered ginger after tastes. I must say I felt let down by the food. Usually I look forward to the left overs the next day but on this occasion it will be a chore or a decision to accept my losses and dump it in the bin. The range of spice flavours was that limiting. It is a shame since I was so willing it to be better based on the reviews and the lovely man who served me."
