While driving through Richmond on a Sunday night, I couldn't resist picking up a takeaway from Amontola. I opted for the set meal for two, which included a special starter of dry Chicken Tikka, greasy Onion Bhaji, and mediocre Sheek Kebab. The main courses of Lamb Bhuna (fatty and not finished), Chicken Tikka Masala (with a gloopy bright orange sauce), and bland Bombay Aloo were underwhelming. The Mushroom Rice and Nan were also lackluster. Overall, the meal was not as impressive as it seemed at first glance.
Ordered starters and two curries with naan and rice. Collected in person, food took a little longer than was told. Once home it was pretty cold already so needed reheating but the curries were swimming in grease which needed spooning off. Rice dish was nice. Usually after a curry you still have the smell and taste but it was pretty bland. Also everything tasted incredibly sweet like they’d added sugar. Actually 3 stars was being generous. I wouldn’t use this place again for takeaway
Food wasn’t bad but the customer service was appalling. We were sat near a large group. They were having fun but extremely noisy and drunk. We asked if we could move to the other end of the restaurant. They ignored our requests and said they were fully booked. They weren’t. It was empty and they could have moved us easily. They just couldn’t be bothered. The managers attitude was what do you expect on a Saturday night and if you don’t like it then don’t come again. Guess what….

I have visited this restaurant in the past and enjoyed the food. However, during my last visit, I tried the Tandoori King Prawn Tikka and it was terrible. It was overly sweet, almost like a dessert. While I know they have other delicious dishes, this particular one made me feel sick.
If you want a really good curry then go to the Amontola. I had lamb jalfrazi and I can say it was the best on I have ever had. It just the right amount of spice. If you enjoy a good curry and are in Richmond then I would recommend you give the Amontola a visit.
Went for a takeaway on a recommendation from a lad we met in a pub. Food was delicious and plenty of it too. I had a lamb dish and my wife had chicken dish both were really tender. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.
During our couples getaway, we had a meal at this restaurant. It was one of the best Indian meals we've ever had. We highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed.

Friendly staff but incredibly stingy portions. Mu vegetable curry was essentially a small amount of spicy cabbage eaten in about three mouth fulls. £10!!
We had a takeaway from here, the food was just Luke warm when it arrived perhaps using Tin foil containers would help.
