What People Are Saying About Tandoor India Restaurant

The Editor

In Short – Buffet carts offer cold and hot classics. Keep it moving as best you can by proceeding from left to right (salad to meat), then return back to the salad station to dress your curried entree with cooling raita or mild chile and mint sauce. Though the slightly spicy saag paneer (stewed greens and farmer's cheese) is a bit light on the cheese cubes, both the curried vegetables and the rogan josh (lamb cubes in a spicy sauce) are hearty and pungent. For dessert, sample the gulab jamur, warm, egg-shaped dough balls floating in syrup.

Eh eh, there's nothing else i can say

by Landstander

Food was greasy. Though if you can handle a little grease in your meal, then best of luck to you. For ten dollars, I guess you really cannot expect that much out of a little buffet.

There was sufficient vegetarian dishes, but even then those were also were packed with grease. Whatever happened to nice steamed vegetables with a little sprinkling of oil being served in restaurants?

All in all, Tandoor is unexceptional, but adequate.

  • Pros: Cheap
  • Cons: Greasy, processed

poor example of Indian food

by climaxcontrol

The food was greasy and not-that-good...overly salted and generally disappointing. The dinner buffet at around 930 PM was pretty dismal and hardly anything was left. Not many vegetarian options either. Have had much better meals from the buffet around the corner at New Delhi, who replenish their buffet even late, have many veggie options, and things aren't soggy and overly-salted. Also had old-looking salad at their buffet. Atmosphere is dingy and nothing special. Lame. I won't go again.

  • Pros: none
  • Cons: servers dont seem to speak english, stare at you, food is greasy and overly salty and old

Good Vegetarian indian food....

by neerugupta1

I went to this restaurant and turned back quite satisfied with a promise to owner to visit them again in a week.The dishes were very tasty.especially vegetarian as my husbadn dint like the chicken curry much.

chats there were awesome with chatnis. I just loved the imli (tamrind) and pudhina(mint) chatni. Made an excellent chollechat with dahi(yoghurt) ,pappdhi and mashed aalu and chatnies.

Luckily it was saturday and they were serving bathura chole and samossas also.Enjoyed it.

Its comparatively cheap also with a decent ambience.I found i homely with little less preofessioanl services though.

  • Pros: Excellent vegetarian food and chats and chatnies
  • Cons: naans were not that fresh
