I found the online menu, but really the options were much more plentiful. At 11:30 I gave the restaurant a call to place an order for 11 lunch boxes, plus naans, and some mango lassis. Because I didn't realize that each meat option had multiple choices, the person taking my order kindly read them out to me and I made some strong choices. He let me know that my order would be ready in around 35 minutes from then. The parking lot had plenty of spaces at that time, and the restaurant wasn't too crowded, though there were several people eating at their buffet. We got there a bit early but were offered a seat and some water while we waited which was nice. The restaurant looked nice and I'd definitely bring family here when they next come to visit. We soon got our food with everything included! All was delicious. The spice level skewed mild but still flavorful, the daal was good, rice and naan well cooked. The amount of food for the price is amazing, easily two servings for me. I got the shrimp but in the future I will try the butter chicken, my go-to. My colleagues who got the goat liked the curry itself, but there were quite a few bones. The mango lassi was thick and delicious. Will definitely be back!

Plus they have a small salad bar option and deserts option too. The food was fresh and flavorful, they offer also Nan bread with the buffet. Service was excellent and the decor inside was nice.

They had a combination of tables and chairs or colorful loveseats and table. They were very friendly and hospitable and the food was fresh. They took their time with it but I am fine with that because I'm not a fan of reheated/ microwavable food, I like the real deal. The food was delicious !!! Especially the lamb chops and the butter & garlic nann bread . I plan on returning to try something else soon and I recommend this place! March 1st they will have their liquor license for a bar and they will start their buffet at that time as well. This Saturday they're going to have a belly dancer doing performances and that will be every Saturday.

My only regret and disappointment is that it's been open for seven years and this is the first time I've discovered this wonderful find in the heart of New Haven. I have been looking to come to this place for sometime, but you do need to do reservations for a Saturday night. I didn't want two weeks earlier through Resy. Full disclosure, I get a credit from American Express as part of their partnership with Resy and this is one of the locations that you can obtain that benefit from. We arrived shortly before our reservation time and waited in line as two other groups were turned away as they were all booked up for dinner until much later in the evening. Once inside, I understood as it is not a large dining area. The motive is very Indian forward with images of transportation themes from India, including bicycles on the ceiling above the tables. To start with, the drinks were some of the most flavorful options I have had in some time all with a very traditional Indian twist. I am not big on coconut or tequila, but my wife loved her coconut tequila drink. I thought the Manhattan was a big hit as the date balanced out the flavors perfectly. Even the cold drink, my daughter got reminded me of getting the same back in India. I personally was not a big fan of the mango lassi. My son got but he loved it. It was a bit thick for my taste. With regards to the food options, this reminded me of being in Manak Chok in India. For those that don't know, that is an area in western India known for its street foods and late night dining. The smells and tastes of the food would fit right in there. We started with the Dahi puri. This was a big hit for the entire family. You get six items in the order and this is a great place to start, especially if you like the balance of the street food. The Chaat Dog was also a big hit. We got the option with Lamb covered in chaat. The role was toasted perfectly and the balance of the flavors really hit well. The entire family enjoyed the chicken stuffed naan with the side of the sauce. I will admit it had a bit of a kick, so be careful for those who are not looking for spice forward foods. I have always been a big fan of Chole Bhature (chick peas and puffed whole wheat fried bread). The one here was nearly perfect as served. I was saying to my wife, that it could only be made better with a little bit of raw onion on top. As luck would have it, the waitress overheard my comment and next thing you know, we had a side of chopped onions and lime, the perfect topping for this dish. With regards to the biryani, it was flavorful, though it has never been my favorite thing. It comes with a side of raita as well. Again, that is not something I really enjoy. However, all three of my family enjoyed this immensely, and the serving was so generous, we had a decent amount of leftovers after our meal. We finished the night with some mango kulfi. It was too large scoops as you can see by the picture. This was the perfect sharing dessert for the four of us to conclude our meal. As noted above, our waitress was super attentive and very quick to bring out the dishes and drinks throughout our dinner. I will note that the price point is also great for New Haven restaurants as the complete meal with drinks for all and a dessert came out to $120 before tax and tip. This is definitely a place I would strongly recommend for any in the area. If you're not close by, book a reservation before you come down so it's not to miss out on this amazing experience. It is definitely worth a try if you want a traditional Indian street food experience. They do also have options like more traditional Punjabi style restaurants on the menu, but we focused more so on the street food options during our first visit. I will update further as I experience this place again which I expect to happen in the very near future.

We tried to make a reservation same day online and it looked like they didn't take same day reservations. Tried calling to see if we could over phone and was told they don't accept same day reservations. Luckily there was a party leaving when we came so we only had to wait a few minutes for a table. The eggplant appetizer special was one of the best things we had. Hopefully, they add it to the regular menu so it's always available. For appetizers we also enjoyed the lamb sliders and one person got a lentil soup. The lentil soup was very small. We were all expecting a bigger bowl of soup. Someone in my party had gotten it for takeout before and we think they might have gotten more soup when it was takeout. The two entrees we got and naan were also delicious.

It is a legendary New Haven staple that captures that perfect "never judge a book by its cover" energy--an unassuming, converted diner on Chapel Street that serves some of the most authentic Indian cuisine on the planet. For decades, this has been a mandatory stop on my monthly Chapel Street circuit. I hit up Alternate Universe for my comics first, then walk the 500 feet over to Tandoor to handle my business. This place has seen many a first date of mine over the years; it's a litmus test for me if you don't like Indian food, you won't like me. The atmosphere is classic and grounded, but the food has the kind of soul and precision I've come to expect from the elite NYC spots like Gandhi Cafe. It's rare to find a place that maintains this level of quality and consistency for so long without falling off. If you appreciate a spot that focuses on the craft and treats you like family, this is the real deal.
