    I stopped in for a second time and love the food here. I ordered the chicken tikki masala and nan bread. Service is also very good.

    The best butter chicken I've had. The curry chicken my friend ordered was also amazing. Only 4 stars because the naan is more like a thin crispy tortilla than a soft, thick traditional naan. I was not a fan of the cucumber raita, but that was personal taste. Service was great too!

    Love that there is a new Indian restaurant in El Paso. Stopped here for lunch, started with Gol Gappa (aka Pani Puri) and it was soooo good! Definitely something different to try and it was a refreshing bite to dunk it into the flavored water! Then we ordered the butter chicken and malai kofta with garlic and chili naan. Both were delicious, flavorful, and freshly made. The naan was perfect. Highly recommend this place! Will be back again soon

    Tandoor and Curry Grand Opening - A Flavorful Start! I stopped by Tandoor and Curry the other day and noticed they were still setting up. Even with their hands full, the staff warmly greeted me and mentioned they'd be opening Sunday. So of course, I made it a point to swing by and show them some support on their big day. For those who don't know, the team here comes from another Indian restaurant in town and decided to branch out on their own. Their menu leans more towards Northern Indian and Pakistani cuisine, which means you'll find mutton, lamb, and beef--a nod to the meat-heavy traditions of Pakistani food. While Indian cuisine tends to have more veggie-based dishes with layered spice blends, Pakistani dishes focus on bold, rich flavors with a simpler spice palette. All Meat is Halal A great highlight for many diners is that all of their meat is halal, making it a welcome option for those looking for halal dining in El Paso. Extensive Menu Options One of the pleasant surprises was how extensive the menu is. While it's meat-forward, they also offer a variety of vegetarian dishes and biryanis for every palate. Whether you're looking for something hearty or plant-based, there's plenty to choose from. Drinks & Atmosphere I started with a mango lassi, always a must for me, and worth noting--the water served here is bottled. The tables were nicely arranged with cutlery and clean settings, but be prepared: food takes a while to come out. They're a small team in the kitchen, and while the dining area is spacious (I saw several large parties of 10-15), they're still working with one waitress and one server. They're even still looking for a dishwasher! But despite being short-staffed, service was genuinely good, and everyone was kind and welcoming. Appetizers & Mains I ordered the chicken tikka kebabs, not realizing it was listed as an appetizer. That said, the portion was large enough to pass for an entree. For my main dish, I went with the classic chicken tikka masala, along with a side of cheese kulcha, which honestly reminded me of a delicious stuffed crust pizza. The cheese was ooey-gooey and a bit saltier than mozzarella, and the portion was generous. We also tried the plain naan and garlic naan--both with a lovely texture, but the garlic naan really stood out with that punch of ghee, herbs, and roasted garlic. The chicken tikka masala was flavorful without being overly spicy. I asked for mild so my daughter could try it, and while she still found it a bit spicy, I thought the heat level was just right for that setting. It was rich and aromatic, with no gritty texture that you sometimes get at other places. If I had one critique, it's the texture of the chicken in both dishes--it was a bit on the tough side. Not a deal-breaker, but something they might smooth out as they settle in. The rice was tasty but I do wish they gave more of it, especially since it pairs so well with the curries. A side of rice is $1.55, which is reasonable but something to keep in mind. Dessert & Final Thoughts I finished with the kheer, a creamy rice pudding with nuts and that beautiful cardamom flavor I love. It was sweet, nutty, and perfectly comforting. Overall, this was a really promising first experience. There's not much in terms of décor yet--it's a bit sparse inside--but the food more than makes up for it. And with a 15% grand opening discount, I felt like I got great value. I even had plenty to take home. They're not on Uber Eats yet but should be up in about a month once verification goes through. If you're excited to see more diverse and authentic cuisine in El Paso, definitely give them a try. I have a feeling this spot is going to become a local favorite.

    Butter chicken and plain naan. Samosas were so good I forgot to take a picture!

    Do not sleep on this place! Was able to finally kick my craving and opted for the closest option to me and it absolutely did not disappoint. I ordered the butter chicken medium and the veggie samosas with plain naan. Every single bite had incredible flavor. And the amount of spice and heat from the butter chicken was perfection. Restrooms were spotless and the service was impeccable. I felt so at home and welcome.

    I really want to support local spots, so I'm bummed this was my experience. When I arrived, two…read morecustomers who had already paid ended up leaving without their food because the wait was so long, which wasn't a great sign. I waited about 45 minutes for a plate with roasted chicken thighs, rice, salad, and hummus with pita. Which I would normally think would be super quick to plate and get out. Unfortunately, the chicken was extremely over-salted (I had to remove the skin), the rice was mushy, the salad had no dressing, and the hummus had a very odd, overly smooth texture that was off-putting. I ate one piece of chicken and couldn't finish the rest. I hate writing negative reviews, especially for local businesses, but the wait just wasn't worth it.

    Can i get a halal yes??…read more I've been feening for one these rice bowls with lamb and possibly some falafel. I love the combination of rice with the meats which typically have this yogurt sauce to it. I made sure to ask if they had any rice entrees with both lamb and falafel which they confirmed they do. There showed a menu with their rice options of meats and combo for $11, so i assume it would be a mix. I also asked if it came with any salad and they confirmed they do which consisted of lettuce and tomatoes. The total came to $14 and some change and I asked if they take cash. They confirmed they do and I gave a $20. Unfortunately they didn't have any coins for the exact change and asked if it was ok that I was short. I thought that was unprofessional but just shrugged it off at this point and said yes. Service was considerably fast since there was two people working the truck. I waited for about 5 mins and got my food. Had rice for DAYS in this box entree and what felt like just enough meats and falafel. The salad was also obviously looking on the spoiled side and wasn't good to eat at all. So i just ate everything else and half the rice and called it. I may go for a gyro instead since that might be more worth it instead of the rice entree. This area is really fun and relaxing so I wouldn't mind coming back.

    Love their food, it's similar to halal guys if you've been to cities that have them. It's…read moresomething I have a hard time finding locally otherwise, so I'm always glad when I see this food truck. Unfortunately they aren't on my side of town often (west side), but I definitely recommend their food if you find them on yours!
