About Winton Tandoori
Winton Tandoori is a family-run Indian restaurant on Wimborne Rd in Bournemouth, where every dish is cooked to order and long-standing regulars, some coming for years, make up part of the dining room. The menu is traditional and centres on the tandoor, with a tandoori mixed grill as the main grilled platter. Meat samosas are available to start, and butter chicken arrives alongside garlic naan for those who prefer a curry. A three-course meal and a set meal are both on the menu for diners who want a fixed order. The restaurant is at 686 Wimborne Rd and runs on a walk-in basis.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the tandoori dishes. The chicken tikka is described as tender and spiced, the sheek kebab as superb, and the lamb tikka as not too shabby. One diner adds meat samosas, while another points to the tandoori mixed grill and tandoori king prawns on a very traditional menu. Service comes close behind, called excellent, exemplary and exceptional, and reviewers mention a family run team and food cooked to order. Reasonable prices, plenty of food and a set meal described as good value for money also come up. The picture is not uniform. One reviewer found the butter chicken separated, with no spice and mostly a taste of turmeric, and said the garlic naan tasted like moist bread without even salt. Another, seated by the door, says noise and dropped plates, plus a view of the toilet, marred an otherwise beautiful meal. Still, one longtime customer describes eating here since 1986 and enjoying the latest delivery as much as ever.

“If you like proper tandoori that all tastes individual. Lovely tender spiced chicken tikka, plus the sheek kebab is superb and the lamb tikka is not too shabby either, throw in a couple of the meat samosas and it’s a heaven healthy meal.”
