" The moment I stepped into Tandoor, I was overwhelmed by the smell of spices—it felt like a little piece of India! The service was fast, and our waiter was friendly. I tried the dal makhani, and my partner ordered the chicken korma, both of which were excellent. It was a nice touch to have the option of customizing our spice levels. We left with full bellies and satisfied smiles. Definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things about Tandoor, I finally decided to check it out with my friends. We were greeted warmly by the staff, who made us feel at home right away. We tried a variety of dishes, including the butter chicken and lamb vindaloo. Both were ridiculously flavorful and the spice levels were perfect. The garlic naan is a must-try—it was so fresh and fluffy! Overall, I left feeling satisfied and happy. I can't wait to return with more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have visited many Indian restaurants over the years, and Tandoor ranks among my top experiences. The food is bursting with flavors like you’d get from any high-quality Indian eatery abroad. We ordered chicken tikka masala, and I have to say, it was the best I've had in Maine. The service was friendly, but it was a busy night, which made things a bit slow. Nonetheless, I cannot wait to return to try their other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

I highly recommend trying their mango lassi—it’s delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" I celebrated my milestone birthday at Tandoor with close friends. The experience could not have been better! A table was set for us right by the window—perfect ambiance. The service team ensured we had everything we needed. The biryani and malai kofta were standout dishes! What a perfect way to celebrate. Thank you, Tandoor! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot say enough good things about Tandoor! From the moment I walked in, the aromatic spices welcomed me. I ordered the vegetable biryani, it was the perfect blend of spices, cooked to perfection. The service was quick and friendly too. Don't miss out on their desserts either. It's the best spot for Indian food in Portland! " (*Curated Review*)
