Excellent food and value! Everything was DELICIOUS! Tucked on a small strip of fast casual restaurants adjacent to Norwood City Hall, Punjabi Tandoor is an easily accessible area with plenty of free parking. I ordered a combo with Butter Chicken, Lentils, Basmati Rice and Naan. It was perfect and really enjoyed every aspect of my meal. The Butter Chicken was great. There was a lot of depth of flavor and the chicken was roasted or grilled prior to being put in the sauce, so it was very tender. The sauce was creamy and dreamy- really a very satisfying dish. The other components like the rice, lentils and naan were spot-on. Everything harmonized well and to be honest, I ate until I was stuffed. I washed all this down with a mango laasi, and that was really the icing on the cake! Overall, a delicious meal and great value- you cannot go wrong with Punjabi Tandoor! read more

Ordered dinner plate combo with chicken makhani and aloo gobhi with $1 upgrade to garlic naan. Portions were small, chicken makhani at this location isn't as good as the SD nor the Anaheim locations. It tastes the same, but it wasn't very saucey. They also gave me plain naan when I paid for garlic. I didn't know until I went home and opened the naan. Also, the naan wasn't fun to eat because it got hard and chewy in a span of about 15 min. I guess it's best to eat right away. I waited about 15 min for food to be ready. There was one other guest in the restaurant when I arrived, but there are a few tables for sit down. The restaurant has some bowls for bogo on uber eats/postmates so they spent most of their time packing those orders. Most likely won't come back to this location again. read more

I have been looking for a good Indian food spot ever since I left the Burbank area and I think I finally found it! I came into Punjabi Tandoor and they were super friendly! I think he was either the manager or the owner that greeted me. He asked if I had been there before and I told him no then proceeded to tell him I was looking for a chicken curry type dish. My guy knew immediately what to recommend, "Chicken Tikka Masala" and "Chicken Makhari" (I think) over delicious rice and "Garlic Naan"! IT WAS AMAZING!!! SOOO GOOD!! They cooked my food right in front of me! The restaurant is nice and clean with their own merchandise. This is now my good to spot for good, quality Indian food! read more

So happy I found this place! I was craving Indian food and needed something that wasn't a fancy sit-down place like you find in Cerritos (ily Cerritos). I got the combo plate with 2 meats: butter chicken and chicken tika masala. It was BOMB! It was the perfect amount of spice and, if you look at my photo, the portions are hefty! The naan was close to the best naan I've ever had. I promise you it's worth a try if you love Indian food like I do. There are so many options to choose from too, like lamb, seafood and veg curries. Can't wait to try more. They also give you a small cup of rice pudding for dessert - it wasn't too sweet but it was a nice ending to a delicious meal. Prices were great and service was quick! read more

Went back to Punjabi Tandoor and ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala - Chicken Makhani combo again, along with Garlic Naan and a side of Lamb Curry--and once again, they absolutely delivered. Everything was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions are huge--easily enough for two additional meals, which makes it an even better value. On top of that, they're currently offering a lunch special, so it's truly a steal for the quality and quantity you get. Consistently delicious food, generous portions, and great value. This spot keeps proving why it's a go-to. Will definitely be back. read more

I have always wanted to eat here and finally made the decision! First and foremost, the smell of the spices and food just is so strong when you walk by (in an AMAZING way!) that it is SO inviting and makes us even more hungry! We went on a Friday afternoon and were the only people in the restaurant! We decided to get Lamb Vindaloo and Chicken Tikka Masala, plain basmati rice, and regular & garlic naan bread (not photographed). You can taste the authenticity in each bite. The sauces were both equally delicious and complex with their spices and flavors. There was a lot of protein in both dishes which was nice! Most places give you more sauce than protein, but this was quite the opposite! Since we were the only ones, the manager (I am assuming) gave us a small sample of their most popular Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken) and it was perfect! Very kind of him to let us get a taste of the menu! There was so much food, we were able to have (2) full meals from this. I will DEFINTIELY be coming back to try the Saag Paneer, their curry, and a samosa! I encourage everyone in 2026 to try a new restaurant that might be out of your comfort zone, and you pallet will be expanded and will THANK YOU! read more

*Note: TDLR at the end of the review Lamb Vindaloo: 5/10 Nothing extraordinary. The meat was tender, a tad bit gamey, which is kind of expected when eating lamb. I will say it was a bit salty an they only give you a couple pieces. Overall, okay. Shrimp Masala: 6/10 There was a hair when I first opened the box, but this rating is if there was no hair LOL. The masala was well balanced, but the shrimp were small, and they only gave you a couple as well. Pistachio Ice Cream Bar: 10/10 Super creamy and the texture is a bit thicker which made it more interesting. Pistachio flavor was very apparent, and it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. Garlic Naan: 8/10 Paid extra dollar for it. It was definitely good, but worth it? I think it depends on the person Service: 7/10 Nothing special. They were nice and tried to help figure out what I wanted to order. Ambiance: 7/10 Music was a good volume, and the restaurant itself was very clean. Lighting wasn't overbearing and it was air conditioned. TDLR: Automatic 3 stars = Found a hair in my food when I opened it. I didn't send the food back because I'm not super picky. I think overall the food was good not great. I would comeback if I was around with some friends or something, but not my first choice. I would come back for the ice cream though haha read more

So this is a first. On a work trip to LA I was driving back to my hotel and saw the sign for this place literally in the parking lot of the hotel! Life is never that easy! This joint is located in a tight strip center next to the AMC and the aromas filled the square. This is more like an Indian version of Panda Express but with better food and friendly service. The two guys were making every single item fresh to order, and I must say the results were outstanding. Naan - filled with delicious cheese, fresh, hot, and chewy Chana Samosa - never seen such a thing before. Basically a deconstructed samosa with garbanzo beans, mint chutney, and tamarind sauce poured over the top. Fresh onions and a fork is all you need! Chicken Tikka - fragrant and just the right level Of spice. This version is made with fat chunks of chicken breast. Highly recommend you stop in !! read more

Another Yelp find. Ordered the Garlic Naan Basmati Rice Curry Shrimp and Fish Pakora. Dishes arrived very HOT which was an absolute WIN all the way round. Wasn't expecting that type of service on a delivery (though I paid the extra for the priority delivery) it turned out being a good investment indeed. The Curry Shrimp was tasty. Shrimp succulent flavored with a tender bite. Was expecting the curry to be a bit richer and thicker in consistency (it was more like a soup consistency) but it handled like a thicker curry as it absorbed easily into the Rice and Garlic Naan. My first such Curry. Tasty dish that was also a complement to the crispy seasoned tasty and fluffy Fish (inside) Pakora. Enjoyed those and paired it with the Naan Rice and Curry Shrimp with almost every bite. All in all. My meal experience was the next thing to home made arriving as hot as it did. I am looking forward to trying more from their menu soon. Gratitude and give thanks Punjabi Tandoor Restaurant and Staff for a phenomenal meal experience. read more

Located in the AMC complex, I was surprised how empty this place compared to the nearby pho place. I love the pho place but was so glad to have tried this Indian spot. You order at a counter so it's more of a fast food place. We tried Combo #5 which came with one chicken dish and one veggie dish, raita, naan, etc. so you get a little bit of everything. Also got a mango lassi. The food was very tasty and even had a good amount of spice. I thought we would pay when we ordered but we paid when we left. Would definitely come here again. read more

I stopped by for lunch with a friend and we had an amazing meal here! I had gotten recommendations to come here and I'm a big fan of Indian food so I'm glad I had the chance to check it out. After looking through their menu we ordered several items - Lamb Rogan Josh - 5/5 - rich and creamy with great spices and they didn't skimp on the lamb! Lamb Biryani - 5/5 - a huge portion and easily shareable. The rice was not overcooked and the chunks of lamb mixed in were huge! Garlic Naan - 4/5 - freshly made right out of the tandoor. The 2 pieces we ordered were quite big and were great to dip into the curries. Tandoori Chicken(Whole) - 5/5 - super flavorful and the chicken was juicy on the inside and not dry. There was a good amount of seasoning on the outside and the marinade on the chicken was great Seekh Kebab - 4/5 - plenty of pieces and the spiced onions on top provided a crisp texture to the soft kebab and the dipping sauces paired well with the meat! All the food was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful with any questions we had. They even let us try some sample of some of the curries they had readily available! Service was also quick even for made to order food. You have an option to get a fountain drink or several Indian drinks/desserts in the cooler next to it. This is a great spot for Indian food and I highly recommend coming here if you get the itching for some tasty and spicy Indian food! Parking is available behind the restaurant. read more

Wow!! This place is insanely good. The mushroom marsala is an absolute must! I've never had anything like it, the flavor profile has so much depth. My family raved over the lamb curry and butter chicken, both meats were so tender, fall apart type! The naan was also really good and super fresh. The service here is also really cheery, friendly and attentive. The inside is very clean and the vibe is great, perfect for families.

Normally, I am a huge fan of Punjabi Tandoor; however, I received an order of chicken vindaloo today that was not cooked properly.

This is definitely a food safety issue. Beware! read more

I was craving Indian food on my lunch break and decided to take a 15-minute drive to check out Punjabi Tandoor after finding them on Yelp. I can definitely see why they have such great reviews! The owners are so kind and welcoming, and the lunch portions are very generous. They even let me sample a few different entrees before ordering, which I really appreciated. I'm not sure what everything was called, but I tried the lamb in curry sauce and the chicken -- both were delicious, though the lamb was my favorite. And the naan? So good -- soft, fresh, and full of flavor. Definitely worth the drive. I'll be back soon! read more

My first time here, it's nice having good places to eat adjacent to AMC. I love these Indian fast food places because they're less expensive and the food is just as good as full service restaurants. I don't really need a fancy interior. The menu is huge and overwhelming, but the owner was very nice to explain - I just wanted a 2-item combo. It was a Tuesday night, so we were the only ones there along with the owner (I got his name but forgot to note it in my Yelp collection) and the cook. It was really awesome that the hot tables were closed and they cooked our food to order. It took about 10 min and the food was served hot and fresh. I got combo #5 with Lamb Rogan Josh, Saag Paneer, and Garlic Naan. There's an upcharge for lamb and garlic, but it's still a great meal for under $20. All 3 were some of the best Indian I've had, so I'm looking forward to going again. The lamb dish was savory - I recommend mild so the heat doesn't overwhelm the flavor. Saag paneer was about the same as I've had before, like creamed spinach with chunks of cheese. The garlic naan was so good served hot and toasty, crispy and not chewy/stale like some places. Next time I'll try their curry, chicken vindaloo, or chicken tikka masala. read more

Best Indian food I've ever had! My boyfriend and I frequently visit this mini plaza for the AMC in norwalk and we noticed this spot and have been meaning to try! Right off the bat, we were greeted by someone at the counter who was so welcoming and talked us through the menu since it was our first time! We ended up trying different items so we can truly get the full experience, this ranged from chicken tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, and others that I can't remember the name of. I'm so sorry I can't remember what I had but everything was sooooo good! The chicken and the lamb were tender and decently sized, and the sauce complimented them so nicely! You can also adjust the spice and let them know if you'd like it on the spicy/mild side! and the garlic naan was so soft and such a delicious addition! Genuinely thought of this meal for the rest of the day and the day after (considering this is now the day after and I'm writing this review rn you NEED to try it) We will definitely be back! read more

We went here tonight for the first time, and really loved it. The workers here are super sweet and patient. I especially liked that he helped me with the menu as I'm not all that familiar with Indian food. My boyfriend said the quality was just as good as the food he had in India. :) We ordered 2 combos which were both huge. Everything is cooked hot and fresh as you wait, and you can see the cook making your order. I esp loved the naan which was crispy, hot and massive! Our food was cooked perfect and we were super impressed by this hole in the wall. The prices are decent as well. Give this place a try if you're craving something different. You won't regret it!

Finally got to try this place out! I love Indian food and was happy that this gem opened up not too far from me. I ordered the Butter Chicken, Saag Paneer, chicken briyani, garlic naan, and veggie samosa. ALL items were great, packed with flavor. I went this Saturday around 1230pm. Not too busy but you will see the workers busy making and preparing the food so you know everything will be hot and fresh.

SERVICE - VERY great service! We came for dinner before watching a movie at AMC. We were the only ones so we had great service. Not sure what it's like during a rush hour. But the guy was very open to answering any questions, helping us figure out what we should get, which combo to get, etc. And when leaving, he asked if we wanted foil for to-go boxes. Small details matter. FOOD - Delicious! I'm a fan of all Punjabi Tandoor locations so far (Mira Mesa, Anaheim, Norwalk). I haven't gone to one that disappoints, food-wise. They're consistent. AMBIANCE - They have seats inside and outside of the establishment. Inside was clean and taken care of. read more

Love the food, service and Ambience! 10/10 Great value when you yummy food at good value! We were driving back from Disney ( 15 mins away) and stopped for dinner as kids were craving good Indian food. We have Butter chicken, Aalo Gobi with Garlic Naan! The taste and texture of chicken was excellent- just enough tender, sweet-spicy touch and not too oily! Best part was the Naan, they make it fresh right in front of you - I saw it land from Tandoor right into my plate with a touch of butter. Kids enjoyed Aalo Gobi and Mango Lassi! Clean and excellent service with little wait time. Would recommend 100% to everyone visiting and craving authentic Indian food! read more

Great experience. The two gentlemen did a terrific job. Our crazy toddler was with us and the gentleman that took our order was very patient and understanding.

Decked with so many enthusiastic reviews, I admit that I had my hopes up. Perhaps the expectation was not realistic for buffet-style food, but I was a little disappointed. The lamb curry was the highlight among the selection, and it is on par with the taste at some fancy Indian restaurants. I thoroughly enjoyed the buttery flavor and the tender meat. The vegan palak paneer (spinach) was too salty for my taste. The texture was as expected, and the flavor was decent. It paired well with the naan. Speaking of the naan, I loved the crispy crust and the earthy fragrance of the bread. I know it's just naan, naan-theless, it's comfort food at its best. Service was friendly and efficient. The server even gave me a small sample of the mushroom masala, which was not only a bonus, but it added variety to my two selections. It's an economical way to sample Indian food, even if the taste was somewhat uneven depending on your choice. I would take my family back when we're in the neighborhood. My son is a big fan of Indian cuisine. The parking lot at this strangely-shaped shopping center was hard to get to. I drove around the movie theater to finally find the entrance. read more
