We were not feeling our hotel's restaurants and their food so opted for online ordering options…read morenearby. There are a lot of Indian food options and decided to give Tandoori Palace and try. Our food arrived hot, fresh, and the portions were more than enough for two adults and one toddler. Plain Naan: Maybe I should have opted for the garlic one or one of their specialities but the naan was heavy and not light, airy, fluffy. Lamb Tikka Masala: Big chunks of tender lamb. We got medium spicy and it was a good amount of spice for us. Flavorful. Vegetable Pakora: Everyone enjoyed these! The dipping sauces were interesting (never had it before) but it break up the fried components of it well. Light, crispy, not oily or greasy on the hands. Tandoori Chicken: Super tender, super juicy, and well flavored chicken. Our toddler ate majority of this portion with pakora. The amount of rice given with two entrees is also a very good portion so I would avoid ordering extra rice!

Great food and service! Highly recommended! Both meat and vegetarian options available.read more

My lunch came with lentils, rice and a naan on the side. Ive been to a couple restaurants, and this one is one of my favorites after today! Also, my togo packaging was great.

We started with the chicken Momos, which were delicious and the sauce was fabulous. We also got the chicken tandoori, Saag paneer, palak paneer and naan. we also had the jasmine rice which came with all the main items. Service was great ambience was great located right on the 101 I believe right before D or E St. Ambience is very casual. We sat near the door, but it was cold. They left both doors open and it was pretty cold (for April)! Other than that food was delicious more than enough food we had leftovers for her the next day. Naan was fresh and fluffy, tandoori Chicken was moist and great flavor so paneer palak. curry tasting a little spicy but my fault he asked how spicy I wanted it. We will be back.

I also had the hot mint/milk tea, yum, kinda like Chai tea. Give it shot They have a shared parking lot or street parking. They also did a nice little renovation from the little coffee shop that had been there for years.

More cheaper though! The sauce was more thin rather than a little bit more thick as usual, but In my opinion it soaks a lot better into the naan & rice; the different texture doesn't jeopardize the taste at all if I want to be honest, as the flavor tastes the exact same. Great stuff guys! I'm a happy customer. :)

Beautiful area with lots of kids playing by the fountain. Sitting is inside or outside the restaurant. Lady who greeted us were very nice. All tables were taken outside so we sat inside the restaurant looking out to the fountain area. Place was decorated nicely with pillows on some of the sittings. Really cute place and cozy. Three of us were hungry and the aroma coming from the kitchen made us twice as hungry. We ordered 2 vegetable dishes, Palak Paneer and Aloo Matar. The Palak Paneer which is spinach with cheese was delightful. It is our favorite vegetable dish and tied our entrees together. It's comforting and savory. The Aloo Matar fresh peas and potatoes were as delicious but hard to compare with the Paneer. I did like the peas a lot. For our entrees we had the Chicken Kadai, Lamb Tarkari and Chicken Tandoori. All came with basmati rice. The chicken kadai had a nice spicy kick. The lamb was tender and lots of cinnamon notes. The tandoori was crispy, tender and juicy. The Garlic cilantro naan was tasty, soft and buttery and great with soaking in all the curry sauce. All the flavors hit the right spot and were all delicious! We had a tiny leftover left of the rice, naan and Aloo Matar. Otherwise we devoured our entire meal. It was that yummy!!! We love this place. Everything about our experience felt like your grandmother or aunties made these food just for you. It was that authentic and cozy! If you're by Carlsbad and want to experience the taste of Nepal, Indian and Tibetan cuisine, this place is for you. They will treat you like family. This will be our go to place when we visit Carlsbad again. Will be back!!!

I almost always order the Nirvana burrito and it never disappoints, it's become my favorite. I've also tried their tofu breakfast burrito and veggie burger, and both were just as good, flavorful, satisfying, and still light. One thing I really appreciate is that they have great options for everyone. I'm vegetarian but my husband isn't, and we both find plenty we love here. I've even brought my parents a few times and it's always a hit. The space has plenty of seating and there's usually good parking nearby, which makes it an easy, relaxed stop. The staff are friendly and the food typically comes out pretty quickly too. Overall, just a consistently great spot with healthy, delicious options. I always enjoy coming here.

We had masala papad, pav vada, chole bhature, and indi chini sizzler. Papa was good. Vada pav was good as well. Indi chini sizzler was NOT good Manchurian balls were dry as bone, no veggies in there, just couple of stands of carrots mixed with flour. It was dry and chewy and stretchy. NOT flavorful at all. They topped whole sizzler platter with manchurian sauce. Wanted to taste fried rice and noodles taste seprately. Wont recommend that. Bhature were bit oily, chole were flavorful. Everything was pining hot, just the way we like it. Will git it try again, for other menu items.
