Stranraer Tandoori

Stranraer Tandoori is the Indian restaurant and takeaway on London Road in Stranraer, set a short distance from the central waterfront and the head of Loch Ryan in the historic Wigtownshire ferry port. The restaurant trades both as an eat-in Indian and as a collection-and-delivery takeaway, which is unusual for a town of Stranraer's size where most non-British-cuisine shops run as takeaway-only.

The menu runs a wide British-Indian list with a stronger-than-usual chef's-special section: tandoori starters including chicken tikka and lamb tikka, mixed pakora and onion bhaji; mains across jalfrezi, balti, bhuna, korma, dhansak and madras over chicken, lamb, beef and king prawn. Reviewer call-outs include South Indian chilli chicken, tandoori king prawns, lamb pasanda, chicken balti and a Goan fish curry — the kind of named-dish detail that suggests a kitchen comfortable working a bit beyond the standard British-curry-house menu.

The shop is regularly compared favourably to bigger-city curry houses in reviews, with portions described as generous and prices noted as reasonable.
