If you ever find yourself wandering through Marlow and wondering where to enjoy a flavour-packed meal, Tiger Garden on 41 West St, SL7 2LS, is the kind of spot that makes you want to pull up a chair and settle in. From the moment you step inside, there's a warmth-both in the welcome and in the spices wafting through the air-that tells you you're in for something special.
Tiger Garden is known among locals and travelers alike as a go-to for authentic Indian cuisine, but it’s more than just your average curry house. It has a reputation for friendly service, satisfying portions, and a menu that caters to just about everyone. Whether you're after a hearty dinner or a quick solo lunch, this place gets it right.
Honestly, you'd be hard-pressed to go wrong with any dish here, but some standouts deserve a shout-out. The Chicken Tikka Masala is a crowd-pleaser-rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced without being overpowering. If you're leaning into something more aromatic and textured, the Chicken Biryani hits all the right notes with its fragrant rice and tender meat.
For seafood lovers, the Salmon Fish Karahi offers a zesty twist, bursting with ginger and tomato flavour. Vegetarian? The Spinach Pakora and Veggie Roast are not just thoughtful add-ons-they’re full-on stars in their own right. Tiger Garden also knows how to keep it classic. The Papadum, crisp and light, sets the tone for a great meal, and the Short Ribs-yes, they do short ribs!-are meltingly tender with deep, bold flavour.
Pair your meal with a cold cider, glass of wine, or one of their halal-friendly small plates if you’re just after a nibble. They even serve vegan dishes, late-night food, and coffee if that’s more your pace. It’s not just a dinner place-it’s an anytime kind of place.
One thing that sets Tiger Garden apart is how it balances being accessible and stylish. There's outdoor seating if you want to enjoy a sunny lunch or a quiet evening under the stars. The interior is comfortable and inviting, with staff always ready to help-making it particularly great for solo diners, families, and small groups.
Accessibility is clearly considered: the restaurant has a wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating, which not every spot in Marlow can claim. Though the car park isn’t adapted for wheelchair users, the thoughtful interior design makes up for it. That little extra effort goes a long way in making everyone feel welcome.
In the age of convenience, Tiger Garden keeps up without losing its charm. If you're not up for dining in, they offer takeaway, delivery, and even no-contact delivery-perfect for a chilled night at home. But if you do decide to dine in, know that you’ll likely get a table for lunch or dinner, even during peak times, thanks to their well-run service.
It’s not just the food that has people coming back. Many regulars mention the personal touch from staff, who remember returning customers and often go the extra mile to accommodate requests. The desserts here also get glowing reviews-so if you’re someone who needs a sweet ending, don’t skip that part of the menu.
Compared to other Indian restaurants in the area, Tiger Garden delivers on both taste and consistency. While some spots may lean too heavily on cream or salt, this kitchen shows restraint in all the right places. You can taste the difference in quality-nothing feels rushed or mass-produced.
So whether you're a vegan looking for flavour, a meat-lover on a biryani hunt, or just someone in Marlow who appreciates great food in a relaxed setting, Tiger Garden is one of those places that just works. It's the kind of restaurant that earns its regulars and makes first-timers feel like they’ll be back before they’ve even finished their first course.
