Iford Tandoori is a family-run Indian restaurant and takeaway on Castle Parade, in Iford on the edge of Southbourne. A sit-down dining room operates alongside a busy delivery and collection trade that covers nearby Littledown, Christchurch, Southbourne and Springbourne.
The food
Tandoori cooking is the kitchen's focus, chicken, mixed grills and chaap all come straight off the charcoal grill, alongside classic curries like chicken madras. Extras such as onion bhaji and cheese naan complete the order, and a jackfruit biryani gives plant-based diners a genuine alternative to the usual vegetable curry. This is straightforward, well-executed Indian restaurant cooking rather than an experimental menu, pitched squarely at regulars who already know what they want.
Good to know
