There is an extensive menu with the choice of Indian, Chinese, Gambian + even a few English dishes. V friendly staff, owners I think from Jaipur. We chose from the Kanzani(?) section:the fish balls which weren't balls + were much tastier than they'd sounded, the chicken methi plus a rice and butter naan, all to share. We felt we didn't need a starter and, in fact, they brought out some nibbles +two dips. Good choice of drinks. A great meal, tasty, excellent value plus attentive friendly staff. Location :more or less opposite Ocean Bay Hotel. We'll be back.

The food is nice enough but the service was so, so. We had 4-5 different servers on our table resulting in noone knowing what we had ordered and them serving us starters we did not order and they looked very puzzeled when we said it was not ours. The mango lassie was good but the naan bread a bit burnt. Otherwise the food was quite tasty.

Sadly we only heard about this restaurant 2 days before returning home, or we would have visited more often.We ate here on our last 2 evenings in The Gambia and it was definitely the best food we had during the whole of our 2 week holiday.The restaurant is situated above a supermarket and is accessed by a curved staircase. The layout is very spacious and airy. We were made to feel very welcome by the serving staff and greeted by members of the Management including 'Sunny'There is an extensive menu including Indian, Italian, Tex-Mex, Chinese, Gambian and English style Fish & Chips.They also offer a very extensive range of wines, spirits, cocktails at very reasonable prices.On our 2 visits, I had Prawn Madras on both nights and I can honestly say that they were the best curries I've had in a very long time, certainly the best I have had in The Gambia. My wife had Lasagne on the first night and Fish & Chips on the second evening both of which were extremely good with huge portions.All the food was very high quality, piping hot and served with a smile.If we ever returned to The Gambia, this would be our number 1 go to restaurant.Sincere thanks to the Management and staff for looking after us!!Dear AndrzejPThank you for that extremely encouraging review.We too certainly wish you had a longer holiday and will look forward to your future holidays to The Gambia.Warm RegardsThe Vineyard Team

Here you will find African, Chinese and Indian food, however we were in Gambia so we took Gambian traditional dishes. Both our Domoda and Yassa dishes were good, (from here, Domoda became my favorite Gambian dish) the waiters were very kind and patient (we came here very late, sorry guys!) and they helped us to choose these dishes.The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and was located very close to our hotel, and it is not too expensive.

We first visited this restaurant way back in February, 2012 when it was then known as VJ's. Prior to our second visit in 2013 the restaurant was refurbished and extended and re-named Tandoor. We have been patrons ever since.Reviewing restaurants in Gambia is not straight-forward by any means. You can dine out one night and the food and service deservedly warrants an excellent review. You can return to the same restaurant the very next day, order exactly the same meal, only to find it disappointing and the service so slow it spoils the dining experience.The Tandoor is the one exception. My wife and I have been to Kotu seven times now in the past eight years. The food and service at Tandoor has ALWAYS been excellent.The Julbrew is cheap at 65 dalassi and you are served with a complimentary poppadom and pickles.The food is relatively inexpensive and more importantly the dishes are consistent, not the norm in The Gambia I can assure you!I see that once again Tandoor is ranked as the number 1 restaurant in Kotu on TripAdvisor. Personally I wouldn't argue with that. Highly recommended!

Once again, we dined at the Clay Oven on sizzler night (Tuesday) and it was, as always in our opinion, delicious. We were staying at Kololi but we always think it is well worth a taxi trip to eat here, negotiate a good price for your taxi before setting off and pay on your return.The Clay Oven is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The owner is always there overseeing what is going on and ensures your dining experience is perfect. On sizzler night, all your food is brought freshly cooked to your table, donât fill up too much on the starters as the mains come in big portions and keep coming freshly cooked on a hot sizzling plater. For starters you are brought a selection of bhajis and pakoras, they appear different to what you are used to and are different to the A la Carte ones but they are very tasty. For your mains you are served with chicken, lamb, prawns, fish and vegetarian, we personally donât like lamb and arenât bothered about vegetarian so just ask for anything you donât want not to be served. As you finish the mains, the owner comes and asks what else you would like bringing. The chicken, prawns and fish are absolutely delicious. You also get a hot sauce, a buttery sauce, naan bread and rice.We would highly recommend this restaurant for excellent food, service and itâs beautiful setting. We have also visited this restaurant and ordered off the a la carte menu and all dishes were excellent, you can order from the a la carte menu on sizzler night too if you so wish.
