We almost didn't come here because the reviews were kind of hit or miss, but we're so glad we did! We came for lunch and it was delicious. We got the lunch specials with the chicken tikka masala and chicken korma (which came with rice, dal, and other sides), plus garlic naan, cheese naan, and mango lassis. Everything was so flavorful, fresh, and the portions were great. The restaurant was clean, our server was super nice, and the service was great. I noticed most of the negative reviews seemed to be about delivery, but our dine-in experience was excellent. We'd definitely come back! read more

Had a great time here with my partner ! Friendly and kind staff ..and most importantly DELICIOUS food. Very authentic and flavorful spices. Perfect portion sizes. Get the garlic naan! read more

The food here is amazing! Their Chicken Tikka Masala is unmatched. Other Indian restaurants don't compare to here. They are truly kindhearted people and treat you like family. It's the reason why we have been coming here for years. read more

I live in the Valley but anytime I crave Indian food I make the drive to Tandoor India. The food is delicious, the curries have a really rich flavor and the garlic naan is just, perfection. I've brought so many of my friends here because I love it so much! Good portions, well priced and the service is always great. read more

Tandoor India - Chicken Tikka Masala Garlic Naan Bad - Indian Near Me - Santa Monica, California

In Santa Monica for vacation and stopped by for lunch. We were the only ones dining in at the time. Seems like a lot of people do takeout from this location as quite a few people came to pick up their orders while we were eating. We got the vegetable pakora for our appetizer which came with two chutneys. The pakora was crispy and a good portion size. For entrees we ordered tofu masala but received tofu saag instead. We didn't care about this error and ate the tofu saag which was fine. The chicken korma (asked for mild) was delicious but a little spicy. The parantha and garlic naan were very fresh and delicious. Ended up taking home some of both curries and the naan. Overall the atmosphere and service is okay but the food is great. read more

The food was good quality and I ordered take out! The butter chicken was delicious and it's a great spot in Santa Monica. I did make the mistake of ordering Chicken Tikka, thinking it was Chicken Tikka Masala. Service was good for take out and the restaurant has a cute vibe to it. read more

This place has gotten a remodel! They changed the carpet to hardwood floor which is nice. This place is great for dine in as there are lots of seats. They do get busy for to go orders. Food review: the food is very good, it's got all the favorites and they are all solid. Don't expect this to be a Michelin star food but it's pretty good and better than the other locals. read more

Operating under Curry Corner on door dash. Well packaged and arrived quickly. The cheese naan and mango lassi weren't the best I've had but both were good enough to order again. Chicken tikka masala had good flavor and quality chicken, which I'm picky about. Good strong tea. read more

My son brought me here for dinner and we loved everything we ordered! Our favorites were the Naan, Yogurt Lassi, and the Chicken Tikka Masala but everything was good. The ambiance was nice inside though there was only one other family dining in. I wish more people would actually sit down and enjoy their meal in the restaurant. Just while writing this review I'm thinking of all the yummy food and I already can't wait to go back! read more

Excellent food; low prices; quick service. Hidden in a shopping mall so keep your eyes open.

The food is always incredible from this spot, but if you order delivery, the delivery driver is the sweetest kindest human ever. Please tip generously! read more

I always count on great food and great service here. What a wonderful way to start the year. I had 42 D Chef's Choice. It was scrumptious.

This place always hits the spot! Everything is always so flavorful and cooked perfectly, and the portions are just enough for two people to share. I've always dined-in and the restaurant is usually empty, but there's a constant flow of people picking up take-out orders. read more

Tried this place for takeout last week on Tuesday night. I can't attest to the ambience or service as I didn't pick up the food or order it so I can only really review the meal that I had. My partner, purchased garlic naan, chicken tikka, saag paneer and rice for us to split. They gave us a hefty amount of rice (two servings full) which was more than enough. Tamarind and mint chutney were good. The mint had some jalapeño flavoring to it, so it was a little bit spicier than anticipated which added a nice kick. No complaints with the saag paneer, chicken tikka, or garlic naan as they were all pretty basic. However, as the night progressed both my partner and I were having stomach issues likely tied to the Indian food. Nothing crazy but not something that usually happens when I eat Indian food. Not sure we would order back from this place as I know there to be other Indian restaurants in LA that I prefer taste and quality wise read more

Lunch special is very fairly priced. I got chicken curry, daal, vegetable curry, raita, naan & rice all for under 16 dollars Food was very solid too, would recommend to anyone in the area read more

Came in late and we were all alone but this place was incredible. All the food was flavorful and the spice levels were just right (even after my brother asked for "as spicy as you can make it" and I had to tell him to calm down). Loved the mango lassi & shahi paneer the most. The paneer was light and tasty, highly recommend if you want to try a new paneer dish. We tried it with both the garlic naan and chili naan. The chicken biryani was not bad-- the rice wasn't incredibly flavorful, ours was just pretty spicy. The portion size was smaller than expected for that dish, and raita portion was larger-- wish it had been included. It was my brother's birthday so we ended with mango ice cream and it was so so yummy! Perfectly blended, some of the better mango ice cream I've had. The restaurant seated us in a cute corner and I enjoyed the neutral colored ambiance of the restaurant. Everything was clean and tidy. read more

Called a take out order for lunch. Took 30 minutes, not the predicted 20-25, but I was invited to sit while I waited. Restaurant is pleasant with Indian music playing. Nothing fancy but clean. Ordered two lunch specials: the vegan thali which comes with a veggie salad , and the chicken korma with raita. Both come with two sides - the veggies of the day, naan and rice. The main dishes were delicious. The korma sauce was gently spiced and the chicken was very tender. The tofu in the thali was a great texture and the flavor of the dish was very nice. The veggies were a bean/lentil dish, and a mixed veggies dish. Both were very good. The raita was delicious, the spicy mint sauce was fun, too. The salad was fresh and crunchy. The only disappointment in the meal was the naan. It was beautiful but the dough was tough and hard to chew. Maybe overworked? Wasn't worth eating, really. It was more food than my husband and I could eat, so we have some leftovers. Next time we will share one lunch special and an order of samosas (2 for $6.95) which looked delicious. Hopefully next time the naan will be as good as everything else! read more

AMAZING! Best Indian food I've had in LA. There's a good reason they've been open for 36 years! // Btw, they do DELIVERY -- just call. The price will be cheaper than DoorDash. read more

The food is usually very good; but my last experience picking up an order was not great. They assumed I was a DoorDash driver and were very rude to me when I picked up my order. Definitely not the way to treat a customer of your business. read more

Family owned business, warm and friendly atmosphere, delicious food. The lunch specials are generous, and the price is great. We eat in for both lunch and dinner, and have also ordered for parties at home. We have been loyal customers for over 12 years. Consistently good after all these years! read more

Our favorite Indian restaurant for decades. 7 of the 8 couples we've brought here agree with us. The 8th ranked it their 2nd favorite. Not bad!! Whether you order vegetarian or not, you can't go wrong. read more

Best Indian food in Santa Monica. I go here once a week and everyone is very friendly with helping me pick out vegetarian dishes. My favorite dishes are the vegetable korma, the shahi paneer, saag paneer, and the makhani paneer. read more

Delicious food, huge menu of choices. Owner is very friendly and helpful in helping to choose dishes based on level of spiciness. Their lamb is perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. Not very many people dine in versus take out, which is a shame, because the interior is very pleasant with white tablecloths. Wine prices are unheard of (low!). This place has been here 37 years and we have just started eating there. Love it! Julie read more

Ordered a massive pickup order for Father's Day! My son picked it up easily and everything was delicious! We should have ordered a little more naan! Flavorful but not too spicy! Shrimp biriyani could be better... read more

I stumbled on this place one night and fell in love. The food is delicious!!!! It's my go-to Indian delivery spot but I like dining too. I'm a regular! read more

So after trying this place randomly on DoorDash, I had to come and try the restaurant since the chicken tikka masala left a fantastic impact. So I came with my girlfriend and wanted to try what this place offers. So we tried an appetizer of fried cheese and shrimp kebab. The start was good and tasty. Then once are combo entrees were brought the food was amazing. The combo had such variety, flavor and fulfillment. Definitely recommend Thai place. The service was good and the restaurant was nice to dine in. read more

You have to eat in to experience the deliciousness! We particularly loved the potato samosa, lentil stew, and above all the tandoori chicken and korma. The atmosphere may not be much but the amazing food and staff make it feel like a palace. read more

I was very excited for this meal as I love Indian food and had good reviews. Unfortunately did not live up to the hype. The food lacks flavor, authenticity and love. Tandoor when done properly does not dry out the food as long as it is marinated long enough before and not overcooked during the process. Raita lacked balance, texture, and fragrance. Garlic Naan (soft and pillowy) and Roti (thin, soft, chewy), were super dry and lacks flavor. Not sure I would try again. read more

Tandoor Indian is my favorite Indian food in LA so far. Their food is so flavorful and I love that you can choose a spice level. Blander chicken tikka masala can end up tasting like tomato sauce but the spice level options really takes the flavors to the next level (I always choose spicy). Their servings are big for takeout and the guy that has taken our order over the phone a couple of times has been so nice. We have not eaten in yet, only takeout. Also just a heads up that you don't get a side of rice when you order curry entrees so make sure to get a side of rice! Their garlic naan is also delicious!! read more
