Delicious affordable Indian food! I've been on the hunt for a new takeout Indian food that affordable with good portions, and I think I found the spot! I ordered the egg biryani, butter chicken, and their friday curry flight that came with the choice of 3 curries, a salad, raita, and naan. The biryani was super flavorful and not dry, and the egg paired with it well. All the curries were spicy and delicious, honestly not much more to say about it. I will say their raita is not my favorite, its just thick plain yogurt. I ordered online and I had to wait a little when I got there but that was okay. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is also spacious will lots of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

***USP: Pakistani Indian place with a huge menu ranging from kebabs to curries to chaat to biryanis. ***AMBIANCE: [[HIGHLIGHT]]place is not very large but they have an open kitchen with kebabs hangings on skewers. Local Pakistani artwork adorning the walls. Delicious grilled meat smells wafting around as well[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. ***FOOD: we got chicken 65, naan and samosa chaat sans yogurt. *chicken 65-3/5- this was almost beetroot red in color. In my naivety I hoped it was some natural food color using beetroot. But I later learnt from them that it was not. It left me appalled at the liberal use of such toxic artificial colors. Colors aside, the chicken itself was delicious. But I will make sure to ask them beforehand next time and order something that doesn't have colors. *naan-5/5- this was amazing. Hot from the tandoor. It wasn't charred at the bottom. It was light and large. It was clear that it was made by someone who knew their craft. I will come back here just for the naan. *samosa chaat-3/5- this made me sick, I had an upset tummy for a few days after. It was hot day so I m assuming they had problems with their chutney or maybe it was the samosa with the potato filling. Upset tummy aside, the chaat flavors were decent, not the best of the lot but decent nonetheless. read more

Our second time here and the food was absolutely delicious. All flavors were on point and authentic, and the dishes here are more of a Pakistani style(rather than Indian style) We got the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala and goat dum biriyani. The biriyani had tender meat pieces and well flavored rice, and a bit of a kick which added another dimension to the variety of flavors. 5/5 for flavor, quantity and service. We got takeout so unsure about the dine in experience. read more

A solid place for Pakistani dinner!! First time dining here and decided once again based on YELP reviews. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has about 8 tables and we ordered and grabbed a table with no issues.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The meal was served in a timely fashion. Started with samosa chaat, followed by Chicken Kahari, goat Biryani and side of fries. The food was tasty, full of great flavors and a bit on spicy side, which is expected for Pakistani food. Really enjoyed the experience and will return in future for casual dining. Liked the fact they have their chai tea in hot thermos self serve... read more

Visited Tandoori Cafe today and wow -- what a tasty experience! I ordered the samosa chaat, chicken wrap, CTM combo with rice and salad, chicken boti, and fries. The samosa chaat was amazing -- perfectly spiced and super flavorful. The chicken wrap was super filling and they were very generous with the chicken -- honestly a great lean option if you're trying to keep it lighter. The CTM was sooo good. I wish it had a bit more spice, but it was still a solid, comforting choice. The chicken boti was just okay -- it came out on a sizzler which was nice, but a few pieces seemed slightly undercooked. The fries were delicious, and they came with raita, which felt a little unexpected... but hey, who doesn't love extra raita? Overall, a good experience with flavorful food and satisfying portions. I'll definitely be back! read more

Hands down the best desi food in bay area right now. Highly recommend. Chole bature are amazing.

I used to go to this restaurant once a week before moving away. I recently went back to the original location, but it was closed. I was so disappointed. Later, I passed by this place on my way home and decided to check it out to see if it was the same restaurant. As soon as I walked in, I recognized the menu. I eagerly waited for my food; it was the chicken wrap that I used to eat weekly. Believe me, I have tried chicken wraps everywhere, and nothing else compares. It didn't take long for the food to come out. As soon as I sank my teeth into the wrap, I knew right away that it was the same restaurant with the same recipe. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was fast, though the tables were a little dirty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Maybe there had been a big crowd just before I arrived. If you haven't tried this place yet, check it out. Highly recommended! read more

Got the Goat Dum biryani, and it was amazing. The meat portions were generous, which is quite rare for biryani. The flavor and spice was also amazing, and it never felt that the rice was bland. At the same time, there weren't clumps of masala or parts that were too overpowering. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Did take out for this order, but it seems the interiors is quite nice and lively also![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

For a little joint in a strip mall with a broken bathroom door handle and the World Cup on the TV the food was REALLY good. We got several dishes so we'd have leftovers and they were ALL amazing. read more

Came in for a quick snack while I waited for my boyfriend to get a haircut next door - I'm very pleasantly surprised to have found probably my new favorite spot! Never tried mango lassi before but this stuff is delicious! And I also ordered the samosas and holy moly, these things are so fresh and perfectly seasoned inside. These might be the best ones I've ever had. I wish I had more time to try out more stuff, I saw on the menu that they do curry flights which is such a great idea because I always have such a hard time deciding. Can't wait for the next time I get to stop by! Will definitely be trying lots more. read more

I always love getting my Indian food fix here . For a quick "snack" I get samosas or samosa chaat with raita, or a Naan (I love the cauliflower, aloo, and butter). Especially the cauliflower one, I can't even tell there's cauliflower in it. The butter chicken is very flavorful and savory; has the right balance of spices. The mango Lassi is also pretty perfect, not too sweet not too tangy but just right . read more

Order: Chicken seekh kaab- 7/10 Tandoori chicken - 7/10 Mutton Dum Biryani - -1/10 The "Dum biryani" is an absolute abomination! It's spiced rice that's been cooked separately and then some tasteless mutton curry is poured over it! It's an insult to biryani! Be honest and call is rice with mutton curry poured over! The biryani has ruined entire meal. read more

I love all the food here -- especially the biryani! They taste truly amazing and remind us of our home country. The staff are very friendly, and I've known them for a long time. Even though they moved to a new location, I waited patiently for them to reopen. I'm so impressed with the owners, Asra and her husband -- they provide wonderful service with such kind hearts. No matter how busy they are, they always welcome everyone with warm smiles. As a business owner myself, I really value their service and the quality of every item on their menu. At my work, my staff and I really enjoy their food -- especially when we order it on Fridays! Highly recommend! read more

New Tandoori Cafe - Biryani - Pakistani Near Me - San Jose, California

Had a chance to try New Tandoori Cafe this past Tuesday and enjoyed my experience. This spot is more on the casual side and service was fast as well placed a pick up order for takeout. For food we tried the Tuesday special that comes with 3 curries, naan, salad & Raita. We got the following curries: * Chicken Korma - a little oily but I absolutely LOVED the curry for this one. It went well with the fresh warm naan that came along with it and would definitely come back for more. * Lamb Curry - this came with boneless pieces of lamb and the curry was absolutely flavorful *Fish Curry - hubby really enjoyed this one and it came with a few pieces of fish. Overall, all three curries were well made and portion was decent. Worth a try! read more

This place is amazing. I had the chicken Seekh wrap on garlic naan. SOOOOO TASTY. Pro tip if you are a fire eater like me then ask for extra spicy and they will liven up the food to clear your sinuses! Do yourself a favor and come in. The naan was fresh and house made and the chicken was perfect. read more

This place is so underrated. I've tried almost everything on their menu. If you come here, you have to order one of the wraps. They are so perfect, even the vegetarian ones. You also have to try their naans. They are thin and crispy on the edges and so delicious. The aloo naan comes with raita, and it's almost like a pizza -- it is so good! Garlic and gobi naan are great too. Here are my favorites - paneer wrap 5/5 - aloo naan 5/5 - fries 5/5 (ask for them to put their masala spice over the fries like they do when you order the burger -- they become amazing masala fries) My friends also love their biryani. If I had one gripe about this place, it's that they put a little too much oil in the curries. I think they would be much better if they just used a bit less oil. If all you've tried are the curries, please give them a second chance with some of the other menu items! read more

Updated review, grabbed a wrap for $12. Filling and very tasty. Great heat level, tingle but not burning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great lunch spot with outside eating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had an issue with bones in the neat my first time here, but they seem to have gone boneless on a lot of offerings now. Will definitely be back more often now. read more

Garlic naan, aachari chicjen and samosa were great. Salmon wrap was average Friday non veg flight was average read more

I always wondered about this place, and today I decided to finally go in. I went in on a Monday, and I was greeted with excellent customer service from a young man whose name I unfortunately didn't ask. I'm no stranger to Indian food, but their menu seemed to have everything, and I couldn't decide what to get! The young man went above and beyond in breaking down all my options, and was not only friendly and informative, but patient as well! He offered me free chai while I waited, and it was excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was very clean, and that's very important to me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I got home, the food was still warm, the naan was out of this world, and the portions were just right. The price point was very sensible too, I recommend you check them out! read more

New Tandoori Cafe - Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Tikka, Raita, Salad, Naan and Rice! - Pakistani Near Me - San Jose, California

delicious!! so good, not too spicy, quick service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]its nice in there[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and theres free tea!

The dishes were all tasty, well prepared, and fresh. Service was friendly and my takeout order was ready exactly when they said it would be. The combo add-on they offer is a great deal. We ordered some 'mild' and some 'spicy' and I preferred the spicy level ones; the 'mild' chicken chapli lacked the flavor and seasoning I was expecting but the spicy lamb chapli was delicious. read more

The staff were super nice and friendly, which would almost always result in a mostly 5 or worst case 4 rating. Sadly the food was a big disaster. It was SUPER oily (see pics). I spent a fair bit of time trying to get rid of the excess oil by draining it and also used napkins to blot the oil out. Despite all of that, it ended up being way too rich and upset our stomachs very badly. I will leave out the sordid details but it was horrible and I was out for the count for 2 days. Weekend ruined. read more

This review is for a recent catering order. Asra did a great job to help us figure out the right quantities for a recent party, and was very kind and welcoming to talk to. The food we ordered was very neatly packed and delivered in time, was all delicious, and a huge hit amongst our guests.

The food was very deliciously flavored and the service was really good!!!! We will be returning again!!!

New Tandoori Cafe is an excellent restaurant with spicy food and delicious meals. We ordered fries and non-spicy aloo paratha. When we received the order, my kids tasted the paratha and they said it was very spicy, which we had specifically asked not for. My kids can tolerate a good amount of spice, so this was clearly spicier than asked for. Other than that, we ordered multiple meals from New Tandoori Cafe and they were all great. I would recommend this restaurant to people who enjoy spicy foods. read more

I used to really like going to the old location down the street so of course I had to try their new one. The first time I came I tried the chicken wrap. It had no flavor! This time I came back to try their butter chicken and it was pretty disappointing. It lacked flavor yet again. For a $20 combo, I'm very surprised it didn't come with naan. I got a good amount of rice with a just few pieces of lettuce and a small yogurt, some combo... unfortunately I don't think I'll be back. read more

Nice new clean place and the naan bread is pretty good but the aloo gobi was different that I'm used to. Nothing bad but unexpected. I will go back and try other things. read more
