" Every visit to Tandoori is a culinary delight! The butter chicken is rich and creamy, just the way I like it. Their naan is always fresh out of the oven, perfectly soft and warm. I've also tried the biryani, and it's packed with flavors; every bite is an explosion of spices. The staff is incredibly welcoming, and they really make you feel at home. Overall, a must-visit restaurant if you're craving authentic Indian or Pakistani food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled onto Tandoori while looking for a quick meal, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken boti was juicy and well-seasoned, and my kids devoured the samosas. We also tried the Irani chai, and let me tell you – it was the star of the meal! The ambiance could be a bit better, but the food more than makes up for it. I appreciate authentic flavors and Tandoori delivers. Definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been going to Tandoori for years and they've maintained their standard. It's a cozy little spot with the best karahi in town. I love the spice level they maintain, just perfect! The service has always been quick and attentive, and they even remember my usual order. The portions are generous, especially for the price. It's a true hidden gem for anyone in the mood for authentic Pakistani cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tandoori Restaurant is vibrant with delicious smells right when you walk in. The food is rich, and each dish is carefully crafted. I was impressed by how attentive the staff were and how accommodating they were with my dietary restrictions. The palak paneer I had was standard, but I was blown away by their naan and chaats! Will definitely recommend to all my friends who love Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not my favorite Indian restaurant, but still decent. They had a good variety on their menu. I thought the samosas were bland and needed more seasoning. The ambiance was nice, but it's a bustling place. I might return for their tandoori chicken since I heard good things about it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an absolutely delightful experience at Tandoori! The moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly staff who made me feel welcome. I decided to try their nihari, which was beautifully spiced and wonderfully tender. The accompanying naan was perfect for soaking up all that delicious gravy. The ambiance is modest but clean, making it a great spot for a casual meal. If you enjoy rich, authentic Indian flavors, this is the place to be. " (*Curated Review*)

" I would give Tandoori a solid five-star rating. The food is consistently great! From their chicken biryani to their keema, they have managed to withstand the test of time. It’s simple and straightforward, no frills - just how Indian food is supposed to be. Their chai is the perfect finish to a hearty meal. It's a casual yet satisfying dining experience.
