Business overview
The Tower Tandoori is the oldest Indian restaurant in Bermondsey. We have been at the same site on Tower Bridge Road since 1978.
The Tower Tandoori is the oldest Indian restaurant in Bermondsey. We have been at the same site on Tower Bridge Road since 1978.
In its early years, it was frequented by curry-goers from all over the country. Many famous faces have spent an evening at the Tower and it’s not a surprising sight to see politicians, actors, sportsmen or even gangsters dining at the next table.
In the 80's, it was probably the first Indian restaurant to use TV adverts for marketing on Channel 4. It was possibly one of the first Indian restaurants to advertise on football stadium signboards (Millwall FC). It is the only restaurant to set a precedent case in the English Legal System after successfully opposing a local business's attempt to copy the Tower Tandoori name.
The business was set up in 1978 by a young entrepreneur, Mr. Ali who was also one of East London’s first Bangladeshi landlords. Sadly, in 1989 Mr. Ali passed away leaving his business to his two sons, Burhan and Shab Uddin. The brothers worked hard throughout their working lives to sustain their father’s legacy.
Today, the business is run by Mr. Ali’s grandsons, the third generation of the family. Even today, the values and ethos that existed decades ago continue to subsist and even in today’s competitive environment, the Tower Tandoori remains at the forefront.
We thank all the customers, patrons, friends and staff who have helped us achieve success and we look forward to seeing you in the near future.

Had a great meal here. The food is delicious and it’s the first Indian I’ve been to that labels their dishes as veggie/vegan, which made my life easier. I’d love to see a vegan naan bread and then it would be the best Indian in the world! But otherwise it’s delicious and the waiters are great fun too 😃¶Great food
