Your new favourite Indian spot in Olney: why NAGA Tandoori is a must-visit
Posted 31st October 2024
Nestled in the charming corner of Stanley Court, NAGA Tandoori in Olney is the hidden gem you didn’t know you were looking for. This cosy spot has it all—friendly faces, warm lighting, and the intoxicating aroma of sizzling spices that greets you the second you walk through the door. It’s the kind of place that instantly feels like home… with better food!
We kicked things off with the Naga Special Mix, a feast of tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, lamb tikka, sheekh kebab, and a golden, crispy onion bhaji. Each bite was packed with that rich, smoky goodness that only a proper tandoor can deliver, and the marination? Perfection. It’s a sampler that does more than just satisfy—it leaves you practically cheering for the mains to arrive.
And, oh, those mains. We both went for the Chicken Shashlik, which arrived on a sizzling hot plate loaded with chunky onions and peppers. The chicken, with its slightly charred edges, was everything you want—tender, flavourful, and aromatic. Honestly, the sizzle and the smell alone could make your mouth water, but the taste? That’s what seals the deal.
Being a lover of all things saucy, I couldn’t resist adding a side of Dhansak to the table. This thick, lentil-based sauce was a wonderful mix of sweet, sour, and spicy—a flavour journey all on its own. Perfect for drizzling, dunking, or just spooning directly onto your plate (or into your mouth—no judgment here), it’s a must for anyone who loves a good sauce with their meal.
We also tried the Saag Bhaji, a simple but delicious side of spinach seasoned just right. It’s light, fresh, and makes a lovely contrast to the richness of the curry, adding a refreshing break between bites of bold spices. Then came the finishing touches: a fluffy pilau rice and a chilli garlic keema naan. That naan—oh wow. Soft, packed with spicy minced meat, and with just the right amount of heat to keep you coming back for more. It’s got a bit of a kick, sure, but if you like your meal with a bit of fire, this one’s calling your name.
