Editorial Review for Tandoor India Restaurant – by Citysearch Staff
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.

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

After going here with a class for dinner, I can honestly say that although our professor paid for the meal (which was very nice of him, btw ;) ), the meal in itself was vile. I chose from a meager selection of very bland options (that were all lukewarm or cold). About an hour and a half after eating the meal, I suffered from horrible stomach pains and needed to leave (I later found out that two of my other classmates got just as sick from the food as well). Avoid! (Go to New Delhi, which is just around the corner :) )
Pros: none
Cons: got sick from the food, which was cold and flavorless
