CHAAT FRIES
Rahima J.

I was able to come to the actual location and try this out after trying their chaat fries at taste of last year! I am so glad I did because it was a great experience. The inside is very vibey and they have jazz music playing. It can get a little loud but nothing you can't have a conversation over. The service was super fast and very helpful in checking in and making sure we had everything we needed. The owner and chef also came out to deliver our food and ask us about our email which is a very sweet touch! The food itself was great and flavorful. The portions are huge so definitely make sure to go with some people to try it out!

Chicken biryani, chicken tikka masala, naan

Great food, wonderful atmosphere. This would be a great place for a family dinner or small party. The service was excellent. We've been here a few times and always get the chicken tikka masala and the biryani. We will definitely be coming back.

We liked this place. Went after seeing a kids show and enjoyed lunch here yesterday with toddlers and the hubs. Love a restaurant in the city that actually has high chairs and a changing table in the bathroom! Extra points for that! Food wise we had to go mild with the soon to be 3 year olds needing to try everything we ordered, but we enjoyed the two kinds of samosa we got, the lamb paratha wrap with fries and the paneer, rice and mango lassi which we had to fight back the kiddos from drinking it all. There was a bit of a musty odor/aroma when we first arrived which was off putting but the food, lovely waitress and general atmosphere made up for that.

TANDOORI CHICKEN BOTI (BONELESS)
Nathan N.

Delicious and fun upscale dining experience in Chicago. Do note that some of the tandoori dishes will take 30 minutes to prepare, so maybe avoid those if you are super hungry. The portions were very large and we had plenty of food leftover. The entire presentation of the dishes was great and it was nice to share.

Absolutely phenomenal and authentic Indian cuisine in Lincoln Park. Tandoor offers the classics and even fusion but does not miss with authentic and bold flavor. I visited here on a calm Sunday! I made a reservation however, I did see some folks walk right in a get seated. It was newly renovated and offers a modern design that is still cozy and allows you to feel right at home. Tandoor is perfect for a solo dinner, or a larger group as they have long tables for more communal style eating. Whatever you do, don't forget your stretchy pants because you will eat SO good and TOO much here lol. One stand out for me, was Tandoor gives you so much food. Their portion sizes are great for sharing, and you certainly get a bang for your buck! For food, I ordered: Tandoori Chicken Empanadas: The perfect fusion highlighting bold flavor, with shredded chicken, in a fried empanada shell served with a mildly spicy Tikka Masala sauce. Garlic Naan: A MUST chewy, buttery, melty, with that perfect garlic flavor! Boneless Lamb Biryani: Nice flavorful Biryani which is like a rice, with a nice spice and lamb so tender it literally fell apart. The amount of lamb that came mixed in the biryani could have certainly been an an entree on it's own. Lamb Karhai: Applause for the bold flavor, such rich, buttery, and again such tender lamb it literally fell apart. I chose spicy to get that additional push of flavor. The sauce was rich with peppers, onions, in an infused sauce served with rice. I also loved the new, Apple, Mudha Spritz which a mocktail with frozen apples, apple juice, and spritz. Refreshing way to enjoy my meal. The service was amazing and attentive. They all checked in on me multiple times, asking me for feedback, offering to top off my water cup, and also helped me box my many many many leftover. Please RUN to Tandoor. I am counting down the days until I return. So so yummy!

More menu items

We came to lunch after some lessons at Guutar Center. Mett was our server. Very good recommendations and service. We tried the Shrimp panoramic. Very fresh and crispy. We ordered the chicken and lamb sage. The lamb was better. Entree came with a salad and basmati rice. Will be back to try other items. We failed to take photos prior to eating.

LAMB SAAG and CHICKEN SAAG
Audrey R.

a massive pickup order was placed from tandoor char house and the smell in the car on the way home was enough to make me speed - the chicken saag was delectable. the chicken was perfectly cooked and moist and just soaked in that delicious curry. the chicken had its own unique spices while also carrying that deep rich spinach taste. totally a solid protein serving as well. - we ordered a mild chicken saag and then a spicy paneer saag and they were the exact same spice level. I wish it had more of a kick to it. like this was spice-y but not at all spicy, if you know what I mean - the butter chicken was actually decadent. it was probably the most tomato soup like butter chicken curry I have tried, which sounds strange but trust me it was incredible. I could've drank the sauce. ok I did drink the sauce. - the naan was good but the naan prices are ridiculous.... why is it over five dollars for one piece of regular bread? we tried the regular, garlic, and cheese and you couldn't taste the cheese at all SO I recommend the garlic or the plain because I just don't think the others are worth the extra price tag for the same taste.

See all
