Quick info
About Thorndale Tandoori
On Thorndale Rd in Sunderland, Thorndale Tandoori is an Indian takeaway serving the usual curry house range alongside a nan bap for those wanting the bread as the base rather than a side. Starters include chicken tikka and mixed kebab, with rogan, chicken tikka jalfrezi, chicken curry, and Madras among the mains. A meal for one deal packages curry, chips, and rice in a paper bag or carton, and masala chips get ordered both with cheese and with rice. A munch box is available to share, and orders come with yogurt and mint sauce, poppadoms, and pickles on the side. Curries can arrive thinner and runnier rather than thick. Orders are placed on a walk-in basis at the counter, with no reservations taken.

Customer Review Summary
Masala chips come up most among happy diners, who pair them with curry and rice, a nan bap, or a munch box that arrived very nice and hot. Several praise the value, especially the meal for one. Others single out the chicken tikka starter, with tender chicken and tasty onions, as well as the mixed kebab starter and the yogurt and mint sauce. One reviewer asked for no chillies in a rogan and found it not spicy at all. Chips are also where complaints cluster, as two reviewers call them anaemic and one notes there were few in the box. Others describe a curry as runny as soup that would not soak into the rice, a chicken tikka jalfrezi with tough chicken and too many raw onions and peppers, and a longtime customer who finds the food costlier and not as good under the newest owners. Staff are described as lovely and polite, and one diner recalls a young member of staff running out to return a purse left behind.
