Welcome to Maryport Tandoori, a cozy Indian restaurant sitting right on 2-3 South Quay with views of the harbor that add something special to the dining experience. From the moment you walk in, the warm spices in the air set the tone, and the friendly staff make you feel instantly comfortable, whether it’s your first visit or you’re already a regular.
The menu covers everything you’d expect from a traditional tandoori kitchen and more, with dishes that balance rich flavors and careful preparation. Their chicken tikka masala is a favorite, creamy yet spiced just enough to keep things exciting, while the lamb bhuna offers depth with slow-cooked tenderness. For those who enjoy a little heat, vindaloo is bold but never overwhelming, keeping that balance that shows real skill in the kitchen. Vegetarian options are thoughtfully included, with dishes like saag paneer and vegetable korma proving just as satisfying. Freshly baked naan and fluffy pilau rice round out every meal, making it easy to share across the table.
What sets this location apart is the consistency guests mention in their reviews. Plates arrive hot, portions are generous, and you rarely wait long for your food even on busy nights. The tandoor oven gives meats a distinct char and smoky flavor that’s hard to replicate elsewhere, and that alone keeps people coming back. Pairing these dishes with a cold beer or a glass of wine makes for a relaxed evening out with friends or family.
Maryport Tandoori also benefits from being in such a convenient spot by the quay, making it easy to pop in after a walk along the waterfront. Between its authentic flavors, welcoming service, and prime location, this restaurant has built a reputation as a go-to for Indian cuisine in town. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual dinner or a celebratory night out, it’s the kind of place that keeps delivering on quality and comfort.
