" I recently had a family dinner at Cafe Tandoor, and it was a lovely evening. We ordered a variety of dishes, including lamb curry, paneer tikka masala, and garlic naan. The lamb was tender and well-cooked, with just enough spices to keep it interesting. The service was attentive without being overwhelming, which I appreciated. The decor of the place is cozy and inviting, making it perfect for a family meal or a date night. However, I felt that the portion sizes could be a tad bigger for the price. Overall, we had an excellent time and would consider coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Cafe Tandoor used to be consistently strong, but my last visit was underwhelming. I had the Biryani that was supposed to be fragrant and flavorful, but it tasted bland and lackluster. The ambiance remains inviting, but the food quality is not what it used to be. Service wise they still keep up their reputation, friendly and accommodating, but I’m hesitant to return due to this last experience. I hope they can regain their former standard soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I honestly had high expectations of Cafe Tandoor based on past reviews, yet my recent visit left me wanting more. I went with the Chicken Korma and it lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. The service didn't feel as personal either; perhaps they were having a busy night. While the ambiance is pleasant, I think I might explore other Indian restaurants for a while. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Cafe Tandoor, I leave with a smile. The butter chicken is a must-try, creamy with an amazing flavor that captures the essence of Indian food. The staff is always welcoming and helpful, and they go out of their way to ensure you have a great dining experience. Though the prices have gone up slightly in recent years, the quality of food and service makes it worth every penny. I particularly enjoy the cozy atmosphere; it's perfect for intimate dinners or family gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" A cozy little gem in the heart of the city! Cafe Tandoor gave me a warm and friendly welcome, and the staff made me feel at home. The food is authentic, packed with flavor, and the garlic naan is to die for! Although it is sometimes crowded, it is worth the wait. The atmosphere radiates joy, especially during weekends! I’d highly recommend their specials; they never disappoint! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was disappointed with my visit to Cafe Tandoor. The food was decent but not memorable. The garlic naan was good enough, but the main dishes felt like they lacked authenticity and depth. The service was friendly, but they seemed rushed. My expectation was not met, as I have heard many rave reviews, and I might not return anytime soon based on this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was craving some Indian food and decided to try Cafe Tandoor. The menu had plenty of options, and the tandoori chicken was fantastic; grilled to perfection and accompanied by fresh naan. However, I felt that the service could be slightly quicker during busy times. Overall a very enjoyable meal with some minor room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)
