spicy

by phoenix1980

I normally only read, not write, reviews. But I couldn't help myself when I saw that my favorite restaurant got such high ratings.

If only I could fill in everyone else's spot by saying this is the best indian restaurant. I've been here 3 times and absolutely LOVED it each time. :) It was packed to the max each time I went (for dinner) and the waiters were kind. Everyone I take here loves it too..

But upon careful reflection, I understand it's probably because my friends and I LOVE spicy food. Crazily. With a passion. In fact, the first time we visited this restaurant, we specifically requested that they, please, please, make it as spicy as possible.

And they did. It was surprisingly satisfying. Whereas other restaurants hold back (even when I request that they don't), this restaurant didn't.

So if you LOVE spicy food, then this is the place for you! OR you can order mild.

• Pros: excellent food

i be back

by clayben

I had the best experience dining alone at India's tandoori. I enjoyed a mildly spiced (per my request) meal of vegetable samosas, raita, Parmesan naan and a vegetarian combination plate (matar paneer, dal something or other, ie, lentils, vegetable briyani and salad!). I found the restaurant clean and the service excellent. I didn't wait long for my meal, and neither did any other diner. The kitchen looks out into the [dimly lit] main dining area, leaving the chefs with full view of everything. My eyes and nose ran from even the mild hint of spices. The chefs all watched me from a distance and eventually alerted the waiter. Everyone seemed so sweet with their concern. The main meal wasn't even spicy at all. The samosas were a bit spicy, which caused the water works throughout the ENTIRE meal. It all tasted incredible. I am fairly certain Indian food and Ethiopian food are close cousins, no? I felt so high and satisfied from the food...and the Toast Head Merlot. Check the name on that one.

Updated to add: Try the samosas, paneer paratha, lamb vindalu curry, mattar paneer (peas!) , gobhi aloo (cauliflower and potatoes!), bhindi tori (okra!), daal makhni (lentils!) and paneer do piazza (tomatoes with cheese and spices!).

• Pros: food and service

best deal

by bobbuther

Hands down, my favorite Indian food ever! My husband and I have been going here for years and the food and service is excellent.

Their Chicken Tikka Masala is our favorite. They get their spices just right. In some restaurants, medium spicy can set your head on fire. India's Tandoori gets it just right. Mild, Medium, Spicy, Xtra Spicy...all right on the nose each time.

Portions are large; prices are right; restaurant lighting is nice and low so it's nice for a quiet, romantic meal (if that's what you're looking for); and the staff is super friendly and always smiling.

• Pros: everything
• Cons: NONE

rude service

by antiblazer

The food is lousy, have few selections and is overpriced. The service is also pretty rude. For example, the hostess made a rude comment on my 15% tip. This restaurant cannot stay in business by insulting their patrons.

• Pros: nothing good about this place
• Cons: rude service, bad food

Great sauce...garbage meat

by saltmine368

After reading some of the reviews, I tried this place down the street from me. They were just about right. The chicken tikka masala sauce is absolutely delicious, but the chicken they used was very low quality. After reading a similar review I specifically asked for white meat only, just in case. They said "OK" and I got a lot of chewy, grisly chicken simmered in a delicious sauce. It was shaped like chunks of white meat would be shaped, but didn't look or taste it. I'm not even sure it was chicken. I wouldn't recommend it.

• Pros: Great sauce, naan, rice
• Cons: Lousy meat
