Tandoori Night Restaurant and Takeaway

Tandoori Night occupies a Castle Hill unit a short walk uphill from Richmond's cobbled Market Place, with the Norman castle keep looming directly above. The restaurant is among the most award-decorated Indian operators in Richmondshire, with the shop's own publicity citing 35 years of cooking experience and 20 years of front-of-house experience under current ownership — an unusually long tenure for a rural-Dales Indian restaurant. The kitchen specialises in Indian and Bangladeshi cooking with a focus on balti dishes, the tandoori grill range and a notably broad vegetarian section, with everything cooked to order rather than held in batches. Reviewer feedback splits more sharply than at some of the town's other Indian options: a long-standing regular base on Tripadvisor and Facebook frames Tandoori Night as the dependable Richmond pick year-round, while a minority of recent reviews flag the shop as having drifted from its peak — the honest framing that fits a restaurant several decades into its run. The shop is halal-certified, reflected in the directory marking. The Castle Hill position puts the dining room minutes from the King's Head and the Castle Hotel, giving Tandoori Night a steady trade from the town's tourist accommodation alongside the local regular base.
