This family run business was the first Indian Cuisine Restaurant to be established on the Isle of Wight

The Ali family moved to the Island in 1962, and created their first restaurant originally known as “The Taj Mahal”, just around the corner from here in Cross Street.

The restaurant remained in the same location until 1992 when an opportunity to move closer into the main town arose. The move was decided and the family moved the restaurant to Union Street, where it happily
remains today. With the change of premises came a change of name and “Ryde Tandoori” was born.

Although the Island has seen many changes over the years the one thing that has remained unchanged, is the high quality of cuisine that has been passed down the family line to this present day.
