In Short – A symbiotic melding of modern and traditional India, this restaurant/lounge (formerly the site of Gaylord) is like a Beverly Hills Taj Mahal. The white marble bar features comfy sofas where patrons can enjoy Bollywood's latest with a nonstop parade of videos. The bar menu includes small dishes like Tandoori quail and naan chips. The main dining room is more sleek; modern leather chairs are juxtaposed with traditional Indian art. The more extensive dinner menu features drunken scallops, velvet lamb kebab and vindaloos.

Editor's Tips

Where to Sit:
The bar is a nonstop psychedelic trip of color and music infused with traditional Indian sensibilities and a foxy crowd to boot.
The Extras:
A plush private room accommodates up to 40 guests. Also, the adjacent Gaylord banquet room is available for 170 guests and has private bar accessibility, a dance floor and buffet stations.
What to Drink:
Sweet tooths and tea lovers can try the Bollywood hamgama, a sinful combination of Voyant Chai Cream liqueur (black tea, rum, spirits and various spices) topped off with a heaping tablespoon of cardamom heavy cream. As for those with more "adult" tastes, there's plenty to choose from thanks to the 2000-bottle wine cellar.

Great Brunch

by lorenal at Citysearch

I've only gone here for brunch and it is the best Indian buffet in Los Angeles. Instead of cold food in a line up, this is elegant and refined cuisine. Highly recommended. Looking forward to trying it for dinner.

beautiful night out !!!

by jamesrearden at Citysearch

my first time in tanzore/gaylord I have to say I was really blown away by the quality of food, ambiance and service. the restaurant is just absolutely gorgeous. the most modern and swanky looking eatery i have come across and I have been to nice restaurants all over the world . for real connoisseurs of indian food this is the place to be. if u think all indian restaurants are created equal think again !!! I grew up in a restaurant family, dad was an incredibly talented chef and mom's food was always to die for ( i know everyone thinks their moms food is amazing, but my moms cooking was particularly amazing) I have visited the place 4-5 times now to get a real feel for the place, thinking i might find something to gripe about but, visit after visit I am amazed at the quality of food. from the the less traditional "crab tikki" ( an indian modern twist on the crab cake) to the more traditional chicken tikka makhni ( boneless peices of chicken breast cooked in creamy, ridiculosly awesome tomatoey sauce) so give the pastas and the steaks a rest and give this place a try... you will thank me ; )

  • Pros: great great food, sensual ambiance
  • Cons: a bit crowded

This restaurant definitely does NOT deserve your business

by Brummie at Citysearch

Decided to try this restaurant last night for our son's 30th birthday. We were a party of six. We had one beer each, Chicken tandoor (2 small pieces),

Scallops, (3 to be precise) on top of white rice,

Lamb curry ( about 5 small pieces)

Chicken Tikka ( see above)

Chicken Masala (see above)

Vegetable platter, (adequate)

It had been our intent to order six main courses and "share".

As you can see barring another "Loaves and Fishes"event, sharing was difficult.

Total bill $260.00!!!!

To add insult to injury, one of the staff, in full view of us ordered a waiter to "hurry us up" because he wanted the table. I sought out the manager and pointed out the "rudeness and unprofessionalism" of his staff and received NOT ONE WORD OF APOLOGY!

At that point we had been at the table for approximately one hour.

Admittedly we are not the coiffured, "nipped and tucked" and lifted Beverley Hills crowd but on a field-trip from the suburbs (gasp!!!!)------Thousand Oaks.

Were we rowdy, loud , obnoxious? No, actually our table consisting of A PhD, two Doctoral Candidates, a Post Grad at UCLA a health professional and a law enforcement officer, We were truly the quietest in the place.

I originally come from Birmingham UK, and better Indian food can be had at any corner Indian restaurant for less than the cost of a beer at Tanzore ( $10.00 for Kingfisher)

Don't go to this restaurant, I know you can do better!

  • Pros: Presentation.
  • Cons: Meager portions, inflated prices, rude manager .
