Opened by Nizam Ali in 1993 Jaipur is definitely the place to go around Woking. The decor is stylish, clean and very relaxing and the service friendly and efficient. Chef Ahmed Ali ensures a very good standard of food and you can enjoy most of the normal dishes plus some interesting innovations. A word of caution. With just 60 covers, don't always expect to just walk in without a reservation - it is that popular. British Curry Award 2005

Fetcham Tandoori

A warm welcome is always guaranteed at Fetcham Tandoori, a firm favourite in the village for 25 years (opened 1983) and an important part of the community with locals keen to sample the excellent cuisine conjured up Mr Haque.
With a very cosy feel, the restaurant maintains the comfort of a time honoured Bangladeshi restaurant that many modern restaurants lose in a sea of laminate flooring and stainless steel. The menu includes all your favourites and the restaurant has a reputation for the reliability of good standards in food and service. Always a great supporter of local and national charities. Surrey Mirror Restaurant of the Year 2004/5 - Nominated 2006
