Experience the Enduring Legacy of Buckingham Tandoori
Nestled in the heart of Buckingham at 39 Nelson St, Buckingham Tandoori is not just another Indian restaurant; it's a cherished institution that has served the community for over three decades. As a beloved local gem, its impending closure is a wistful reminder of the special moments shared over delectable curries, fragrant biryanis, and aromatic tandoori dishes. At Buckingham Tandoori, every visit feels like coming home—welcoming service, consistently excellent food, and a delightful atmosphere that fosters connection and nostalgia.
Cuisine Type: Authentic Indian
Step inside and prepare your palate for a vibrant array of flavours that characterize the rich tapestry of Indian cuisine. Signature dishes such as tender tandoori chicken, expertly marinated to perfection, burst with a smoky char and spices that dance on your tongue. Complement your meal with lemon rice—a zesty pairing that adds brightness to every bite, or indulge in the crispy, golden onion bhajis that serve as the ideal appetiser. Vegetarian guests will find a cornucopia of wholesome options, including delicious vegetable sides like fresh spinach and tender okra that encapsulate the essence of Indian home cooking.
The ambiance is unpretentious yet inviting, making it the perfect setting for both casual takeouts and intimate dinners with loved ones. From the fragrant spices wafting through the air to the warm grand hospitality of the staff, every aspect of Buckingham Tandoori contributes to an overall experience that nourishes the soul.
Real Customer Experiences
The bittersweet farewell from many loyal patrons is a testament to the restaurant's impact on the community. Customer 'A K S Miah' poignantly expressed, “A Farewell to Buckingham Tandoori – A Local Gem,” celebrating its legacy and the emotional connection formed over countless meals. Barry Baker, another satisfied customer, raves about how “takeaway for one was amazing” and highlights the onion bhajis as a must-try.

However, it's worth noting that a few patrons have encountered challenges with the online ordering system, as shared by a customer known as '44R0N.' While such technical hitches can be frustrating, the consistent praise for the food quality fosters hope for a seamless takeaway experience in the future.
As Buckingham Tandoori prepares to close its doors, the essence of its flavours and the warmth of its community will linger in the memories of many. Whether you're a frequent takeout patron or someone who has yet to enjoy the culinary delights of this local staple, now is the time to experience the magic before it becomes a cherished memory.
