# Zachary's Tandoori: Agent-Direct Score F (37.4%)

Site: http://www.zacharys.co.uk
Report: https://directindex.org/r/zacharys.co.uk
Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Zachary's Tandoori is largely invisible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Zachary's Tandoori's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Phorest.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://phorest.com/book/salons/zacharys (through phorest acting for the business)
- Phone: 020 8577 5437
- Address: 369 Hanworth Rd, TW4 5LF, London

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Zachary's Tandoori that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- AQ Bar and Restaurant (420 m): https://directindex.org/r/aqbarandrestaurant.co.uk
- Ahaa Dosa (930 m): https://directindex.org/r/ahaadosa.co.uk

- Spice Of India (1.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/spiceofindiawhitton.co.uk

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, ChatGPT-User.** (+5 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 01963 853 951, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 020 8577 5437. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
