Had an amazing experience here. The food was incredibly flavorful and clearly made with care. Every dish came out fresh, perfectly spiced, and full of authentic taste. The curry was rich and comforting, and the naan was warm, soft, and perfect for dipping. The staff was also very welcoming and attentive, making the whole experience even better. They were happy to answer questions and made sure everything was just right throughout the meal read more

Tandoor has moved into a new space less than a mile north on Route 35. Spartan and clean but small and not cozy at all, unlike their old location. Prices have increased over the years understandably and their portion sizes are now blown out of proportion, actually too big. The food has become ho hum unlike the good old days going back nearly 15 years. It looks like it is turning into a mainly take out place. It's okay but that is about all. The service is provided by the owner who is a one man band. Bottom line there are better Indian restaurants around at this point in read more

Tandoor India - Tandoor chicken - vast portion and not really that tasty anymore. - Indian Near Me - Oakhurst, New Jersey

Yup this the spot... if ya in the area go and check it out... yummy yummy ... nice staff ... mmmm

I came in for dinner at about 5pm and was the only person in the restaurant though a steady stream of takeout customers were coming and going. I asked the employee what they would recommend as a first time visitor and I was recommended the chicken tikka masala (spicy option), so I went with that and it came with rice. I added garlic naan to the order. Overall it was a great meal, packed with flavor (not too spicy) and very fresh The service was great and I will definitely be adding this to my list of go to places! read more

The food was delicious,freshly cooked and the desserts were yummy too! Highly recommend this place. The owner was polite and multitasked the phone take out and serving us. The place is small but BIG TASTE!! read more

The best Indian food-- no-- THE BEST FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD. The service is great, they are very attentive to their customers and are always so kind and tender. The ambiance is impeccable. The decoration is beautiful and very clean inside, and the beautiful plating makes it that much better. We sat as a table of 3, ordered 2 dinner items, raita, and nan, along with samosas and pakora to start, and still had enough for all of us to take home leftovers. Serving sizes are PERFECT. Pricing is perfectly fine because I would honestly pay anything for this food. My family and I have been ordering here for years-- we tried other Indian food restaurants and nothing beats Tandoor India. Every meal is somehow better than the last. It quite literally feels like I entered heavens gates when I enter those doors. I recommend this place to everyone I have ever spoken to; Tandoor India heals me from my troubles and worries. read more

Absolutely delicious. Excellent cut of chicken in my Chicken Korma. And my husband had Dosai which was the best he said he ever had. And we've dined all over at many India restaurants. Service was excellent. Not too noisy. Easy parking. No stairs to climb so very accessible. read more

Approaching this restaurant in the evening, it was dark and it felt like an abandoned mall. We were a bit skeptical, but were hungry and took the plunge and went it. Not many people were there and the restaurant had their Uber and DoorDash tables ready to go. There was one other family sitting there that had food and seemed to be happy. We were promptly seated and noticed a number of the people working there in the back did not wear shoes. Getting more legit... Decor was nice and dark. I had tomato soup, chicken vindaloo, roti and daal makhani. Others had chicken tikka and naan. The daal makhani was not was I was used to and felt like a mix of makhani and tadka. All the food was tasty and the service was very friendly. It was a solid place, but not something I'd travel to. If I lived in the area, I'd go more often. The bathroom..... This is where I had to take off a star. The men's room looks like they just didn't want to spend money to maintain it or keep it clean. There was clear patchwork on the walls that was poorly painted over to cover up the damage. I didn't feel clean coming out of it. Service was great. Remember to tip well. read more

MUST TRY - 10/10!! First time having Indian food and Tandoor India did not disappoint. From the service, to the food, down to the dessert everything was hand down delicious. I ordered the tandoori chicken with basmati rice, highly recommend. The food was served in great portions, we did not leave feeling heavy at all. We will definitely be coming back!! P.s you have to try the Indian dessert! Super tasty!!! I would post photos but I cleared my plate read more

So glad this moved to Towne Center in Oakhurst! My husband and I were able to walk to dinner over the weekend and will definitely be doing it again soon! The service was great, the food was DELICIOUS, and the owner is the sweetest guy ever. He chatted with us for a while and is so excited about his new location - and so are we! We ordered Saag Paneer, Lamb Vindaloo, Butter Chicken, and Naan -- and nothing disappointed. We will be back again for sure! Hope this nice man has all the success he deserves in his new spot! read more

This place needs to be recognized!! The service was great; and extremely friendly. Told me a story how they've been in business for 30 years; and it really shows. I had the butter chicken, and it was so mouthwatering and perfect that I can't get over the flavors. What a hidden gem this is. The place it's located in is a little rough, and the ambiance is a little old: it's a mix of old and new, and maybe could use some updating. But honestly, the food kind of made up for that. My recommendation: the chicken makhani, medium with Nan. It's to die for. Price wise, that set me back about 30$, but the portions were deceptively big. 5/5. read more

Great authentic Indian food and excellent service. Family run business, highly recommend eating here.

Everything about this place and the owner was fabulous The food was authentic and absolutely delicious read more

Great staff, very accommodating. The food was fantastic and very good. The place was pretty homey, and the owner was generally just a great guy. Shoutout to the guy; I didn't catch his name. I will definitely be going again read more

We have been going here for more than 15 years now. This place never disappoints. Our favorites are the Mixed Tandoori Grill, Baigan Bertha, Shrimp Muglai, & Mango Lassi. The food taste soon good. They can adjust the spiciness according to your liking. The owner gives you his personal service. This makes the place special. read more

Great taste and friendly accommodating service! They increased their signage to improve visibility of the entrance. The sauces for Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Shahi Kurma were very flavorful! Spice level was perfect for us. The meat was tender and juicy. Garlic naan was perfectly fluffy and soft with a little bit of crisp. Only thing that could've gotten this a 5 star would've been if the chicken carried more flavor itself outside of the sauce. Overall amazing experience with the staff making sure the food was good and that we were comfortable. read more

My family has been getting great takeout from this restaurant since we bought our home, in Eatontown, 32 years ago. As we understand it that was the same year this restaurant opened and the same family has run it all these years. I want to congratulate them on surviving the pandemic and thank them for the meals we had in the restaurant and the countless take out meals we ate at home. All delicious since 1991. The staff always asks what spice level we want the food at whether we eat it there or as take out. They are very good at sorting out that my son learned to eat food at mouth numbing levels while attending college, my daughter wants everything medium hot and I and my husband now prefer our food a flavorful mild. Our children joyfully ate it as toddlers (mildly medium spiced at the time) when we were trying to expand their palates. Sweet lassis were gulped if they got a hotter bite but they always dug back into their food portions until it was gone. Tonight my hubby and I ordered old favorites which are Lamb Moglai and Karahi Lamb. Plentiful tender lamb in both entrees. I tried to take pictures of both entrees but my husband dumped his pint of Karahi Lamb over his full container of Basmati rice, tore his Garlic Naan into pieces and dug in. It is all gone except one quarter of his garlic naan and he says he is Thanksgiving full and went off to fall asleep in his recliner as a happy man. I am posting a picture of my Lamb Moglai after I also dumped my pint on top my full container of Basmati rice but I have to admit I took many bites of the fragrant lamb and rice before I forced myself to stop and take the picture. Heck can anyone really not eat good takeout immediately in the privacy of their home? So just know there is less in the picture then what was picked up from the restaurant! I am also posting a picture of the Tandori Paratha but none of my sweet lassi because, as delicious as it is, it looked like a plain glass of milk when I focused my iphone down into the take out cup. Succulent lamb in the creamy, almond flavored sauce. The smell of Basmati rice wafting around our den and oh the very yummy parathra that I can use to scoop up mouthfuls of it all. 32 years this restaurant has made my home feel like a short visit to India! read more

I went back for a second round and was even more impressed, the waitress and owner/cook couldn't do enough to see if we had everything we wanted during the meal even being so kind to offer the other guest at the table some soothing yogurt dip to cool things down as they found it a little too spicy for their taste. Another excellent meal from a restaurant I think is under rated for it food and friendly staff that I observed on my two visits to this restaurant. read more

( FYI: Vegan ) I've been eating here since the Early 90s, BEST Indian Food I've Ever eaten (Not just NJ). Same Gentleman running the Spot since the Beginning, Absolutely, Exceptionally, EXCELLENT customer service. More than 30 years eating here and have had Not ONE complaint, or Mistake through Hundreds of Family size orders. Unfortunately, we're almost 50 miles away now but still make sure to come in a few times a year. read more

I have been going to this restaurant for over 15 years. I have been to many Indian restaurants and Tandoor India has the best Indian food I have ever had. Service is excellent. This place is truly a hidden gem. read more

Poor experience, the chicken tikka masala looked great but tasted horrible. It had a burnt/Smokey flavor I've never experienced in the dish so it must have been an accident. The naan was soft but it reminded me more of dense afghan bread instead of flakey and soft naan. The chicken biriyani was over cooked and under seasoned. All of the chicken in the dishes were tender and cooked well, but not enough to return. read more

Honestly the food is the least flavorful Indian food I've ever had. Easily been to over 20 Indian restaurants. The speaker was playing music and cutting in and out throughout the meal and the whole staff seems to not notice or be annoyed by it oddly enough. The staff was friendly although a little bit awkward. Not sure how the average rating is 4/5 stars. I got here an hour before closing so perhaps they put less effort in but that's no excuse, an hour before closing isn't that late. I ordered the palak Chana vegan, as well as the yellow dal, and the masala dosa. The masala was also flavorless and the outer rice park didn't taste the best, it also came with no sauces which is abnormal. Even more beings it clearly is lacking in flavor! If you're in the area I suggest trying out another place. Hate leaving bad reviews but am very disappointed as I make way better dal and have made it one time, and it was a simplified version! read more

Great authentic Indian food Warm and kind customer service . My family have been dining here for decades. The Tandoori mixed grill, Shrimp mooglai, Baigan bertha , served with fluffy , hot Basmati rice and Mango Lassi A must try ! read more

Stopped by because no other restaurants were open at that time. The place smelled old and moldy and the food itself didn't taste that great.

The best most authentic Indian cuisine. You can tell by the clientele that all the true foodies go here. It is a secret gem. Sing was the most hospitable host. We will definitely be back. read more

Great fresh food! and nice portions! The order was also ready within minutes. we will definitely be going back. The restaurant is also very homey feeling! read more

Amazing food and great service!! Butter chicken was so good. Will be back very soon. Sing the guy running the show was so friendly and welcoming! read more

The first time we had dinner at Tandoor India we were asked "how hot" did we want the food to be: mild, medium or hot." Being long time lovers of Indian cuisine and having dinner with Indian friends at many of the restaurants they suggested, we always asked our main course to be of medium spicy heat. Wrong answer at this restaurant. We spent that evening with tears rolling down our face and drinking mango lassi to stem the heat. I suggest to please say mild, mild, and mild again unless you really like it hot. The food here is of the highest quality... beautifully presented by a chef who is at the top of his form. The Indian decor and music adds to the pleasure of the meal. We always order their saag paneer ( creamed spinach) different lamb and or chicken dishes with either curry or cream or tomato base, and always an order of Indian bread either plain or with onions or garlic. Rice is always part of the meal. We finish our meal with a wonderful mango lassi. So good This is the only Indian restaurant we have visited in this area. I want to try others but always get drawn back to Tandoor India. You won't be disappointed, try it read more

Tandoor India never disappoints! I have been coming for years and have appreciated the quality of the food and service. Servings are generous and prices are very reasonable. The restaurant is BYOB - so bring a bottle to enjoy with your food. My favorite dishes are the Samosas, the Paratha Bread, the Aloo Gobi, and the Chicken Tikka Masala. You cannot go wrong with Tandoor India. read more

The food and service were incredible! Best Indian food I've had before and previously would travel to Edison for it. Can't wait to come back! read more

The food is always delicious. If you're looking for traditional Indian fare this is the place to go to. Whenever I visit my family this is my #1 choice. My favorites are Paneer Tikka Masala, Chicken Shahi Kurma & Chicken Sagwala. Their samosas are the best I've had anywhere. Try them!!! You won't be disappointed. read more

The food was really good. The staff was attentive. I would definitely go back to try other items on the menu.

Very tasty food. Sag was most delicious. We were enjoying very much the Kheer. Highly recommending

I don't know why it took me so long to try this place, as it's been less than 5 minutes away from where I live, but I am glad I finally did! I love Indian food, but I am not educated in it nor do I have it very often. I have a feeling I will be an expert on this place soon, though. I came with a friend of mine right after they opened back up for dinner. We did the buffet, for $18.95/person. I did have a Restaurant.com coupon, but no coupons are good on the buffet, which is fine. When we started taking food from the buffet, the waiter let us know he was going to bring out fresh appetizers and naan. I noticed he made small batches and brought them out whenever new people arrived or it ran out, which is good to know... very fresh! I sampled everything on the buffet line and it was all delicious! My favorite was the chicken tikka masala. I was in love with the sauce it was sitting in and the chicken was so tender! Can't wait to go back! read more
