I enjoyed the butter chicken it was exactly how i wanted it. Goat was good but a little too mild for my tastes. My pne disappointment was the naan was a little too bready for my liking. I like a flatter bread and this one was slightly too fluffy for my liking. The dinning room is typical of a casual dining area. I do like the self service area where plates and silverware are stored. This style of dining made it easier for me to eat there and take my leftovers back to my hotel. But great food overall.

We visited this place back in 2016 or 17 while one of our trips to the city. It was a really cold…read moreday so we decided to eat something indoors and something spicy. Yelped for an Indian place and this showed up at walking distance so we walked upto it. Upon locating, we found it was on a busy street and had nice seating indoors. We went in and were seated promptly as it was around 1:30pm, which is not a busy time usually for lunch. We ordered chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and biryani. Everything was great but we loved tikka masala and naan of all the items. They had a variety of appetizers and desserts but we just had big main course. Service was quick and servers were very attentive. Place was really clean so we enjoyed eating there. Highly recommended if you are in the neighboorhood and looking for a quick bite to eat.

This was my first time ordering here and I liked what I got…read more I ordered the chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and white rice. I forgot to mention the spice level for the curry in my DoorDash order, but it turned out that it was a gentle heat and I enjoyed it. The curry was flavorful and I liked that it was on the creamier side. It went so well with the rice. There were about six pieces of chicken, which is enough for me. I know that this curry is one of the more affordable options on that block, so I think the amount was good for the price listed on DoorDash. It's probably a much better deal if you order in person. The garlic naan is huge and one piece can be good for two people... maybe four people if they want a quarter. But I don't think I a quarter is enough lol. I ate the whole thing. Though I love curries with rice, I think I'll just get the naan next time since it's so big. Since I got this to go, I can't comment on the ambiance. My order was placed around 4pm and I got it within 20mins. I'd order from here again to try another entree or biryani.

Chutney was overhyped to me by a friend of mine. Decided to give it a try but it was not worth it…read morewhen there are spots like Pakwan in the city with easier parking and not as bad of an area. Went there and there was a parking spot on the block of chutney but was held by an orange cone. We asked the restaurant there if we are allowed to park and they said they know nothing about it and to go ahead. So we moved the cone and parked then some lady took the cone and started mouthing off saying her friend was suppose to park there and she walked the cone to the other side. Then you see her friend come up with her car and idk what they were trying to do. Friend just kept going forward then reversing and repeating every few mins. Thought they were going to start drama with us or key the car once we left so we waited for a bit. Ended up just going into Chutney and sat at the window to keep an eye on the car. Same car was doing the same shenanigans going forward and reversing for some reason. Anyway, that was a long rant that had nothing to do with Chutney. Don't really have anything good to say. Gentleman that sat us down was nice. Gave us our menus and asked us to order at counter when we were ready. We ordered plain and paneer naan, tandoori chicken leg, chicken biryani, seekth kebab, chicken jal frazi, chicken tikki masala, chicken boti and the lamb chops. Best thing was the paneer naan. Cheese pull was insane and very flavorful. Very delightful when fresh hot. Chicken boti and lamb chops were extremely dry and overcooked. The lamb chops also was very salty and I'm usually more prone to saltiness. Chicken Jal Frazi was like a chicken curry with vegetables. This was probably the second best thing and went well with the naan. Chicken Biryani was kind of plain compared to somewhere like Pakwan and portion was pretty small compared to Pakwan. Tandoori leg wasn't as juicy as other places, it was also a bit dry. Seekth kebab was pretty firm but wasn't terrible. Their sauces (the green mint sauce and tamarind chutney) were a bit watery and not as flavorful as other restaurants I've tried. Price wise - they're not terrible. Most items were under $15 and below besides the lamb chops. But for some reason, the same guy that sat us down, ran the register and he charged us $1 more on every single item besides the sodas so we didn't even bother tipping. And when we tried to ask one of the servers for an extra spoon after he served our food, he just kept walking as if he didn't hear us. I won't complain about that too much because maybe he simply just didn't hear us. But don't expect too much service here. Our food took about 30-40 mins to arrive too. Others that sat down after us, got their food first so not sure what's the deal with that. Was worth a try but probably won't come back.

There are a few tables inside, so a friend and I decided to dine in. The chicken was tender and juicy, perfectly cooked, with the salad adding a balance of acidity on the side.

One of the employees checked in asking my friend and me if everything was ok because I still had chicken left, but I was still eating since I'm a slow eater. They were attentive and friendly, and I'd definitely recommend stopping by for a lunch or dinner.

4 stars = "Yay! I'm a fan."…read more Which I am. Lately I've noticed that Tandoori Mahal is the only place I've been calling for Indian food delivery. I simply haven't been tempted to branch out and try a new place. I suppose it's a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Price: Reasonable. Delivery time: Speedy. Food: Arrives hot and delicious and in nice, big quantities that I can stretch into 2 or even 3 meals, depending on how hungry I am. I've never had anything that I didn't like from Tandoori Mahal. My go-to dishes at any given time are the tandoori chicken, lamb tikka masala, chicken coconut curry, aloo gobhi (cauliflower with potatoes) and chana masala (spicy garbanzos), all excellent. The sauce-based dishes are robust with nicely-developed flavors, as though they've been simmering on someone's mom's stove for hours. Whenever I walk or ride past the restaurant it looks kind of empty, so I'm guessing they get most of their business from hungry Financial District folks at lunchtime...and evening delivery to people like me who are too lazy to cook dinner!

The paneer momos with the Manchurian sauce was the star. We got the naan combo which was garlic, potato and regular naan. I wanted more garlic on the garlic one and more aloo in the aloo/ potato one. It was soft but hard to differentiate which was which. My curry was good but nothing really stood out with it. It hit the mark for a basic curry but I would probably try something different next time.
