I frequently come to tandoor for lunch, the buffet is amazing. Always my favorites and a surprise. But I hadn't been there for a while so I dropped in this evening and I had a beef madras curry. Buttery Samosa, and really tasty buttery naan. As usual, the surface was top-tier, they constantly kept my glass filled and made sure I had everything I needed. I always love the artwork on the wall and the music is always very lively. If you've ever been to the buffet, I highly recommend you drop by for dinner. read more

How lucky am I to live close to Tandoor? An Arlington staple for what, 40 years now? I'm not exactly sure when they opened but I'm pretty positive it was the mid 80s... They're known for their absolutely fantastic lunch and dinner buffet with prices that are hard to beat, especially in this economy! I don't eat there in person often, but it's one of our top go-to spots for takeout/delivery. I swear it's just as good delivered to your doorstep as it is at the restaurant itself. They really know how to securely pack up a to-go order, I'll tell you that. I know we don't live far away, but still. It always arrives piping hot. Besides the obvious and ever-beloved chicken tikka masala (insanely good), I'm a big fan of their Mulligatawny Mughlai Soup (lentil soup with rice and chicken). It's super savory with a little lemony brightness. Ultra comfort food! We're also big fans of their veggie biryani: super fragrant basmati rice all dolled up with fresh veggies, paneer, raisins, and almonds. We also love their Bombay potatoes (spicy potatoes with mustard seed) and their Chana Masala Punjabi: spicy chick peas, potatoes, and onions in a tomato and onion gravy. How good does that sound?! read more

Tandoor Indian Restaurant - Order one of everything and have a picnic - Indian Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Cant believe I never wrote a review for this restaurant!! This is my favorite, go to for Indian food. I usually only come here for the buffet and I have never been disappointed by it. The food is always hot and constantly being made. The flavors are amazing and they have veggie options as well. They have a salad section as well as a dessert station as well. I never seen it be busy, it has good customer service and is very clean. That rice is so fluffy I would eat that everyday, my favorite dish after that is probably the chicken tikka masala. Then the tandori chicken is finger-licking good paired with some of their nan bread. The spice level is not crazy like other places so I think why so many people come here as well, because its a nice balance on flavor and spice. Like I mentioned before, I only been here for the buffet but I am sure their regular dinner services by the plate are just as delicious. Highly recommend coming here if you are in the area to try it out. read more

I've reviewed this place a few times in the past. It's been several years, though. Just wanted to drop back in and say that they've maintained theor quality. The dishes are tasty, the buffet is generously portioned, the curry is wonderful. I highly recommend this place! read more

I used to love this place. The service is great. The people that run this establishment are very friendly. I ordered their tiki masala and garlic naan "to go" religiously for years. But recently, my husband and I decided to go in the restaurant and order dinner one night. In the bathroom, there were several dead bugs on the floor. I worked in restaurants for years ... I'm sorry if you can't keep the bathrooms clean what does the floor of the kitchen look like? I hope it was just an off night and things have gotten better but we had to travel to the other side of town to go to this place and there's another Indian restaurant right around the corner for us... not as good, but at least their bathrooms are clean. read more

We have a new favorite that we will be craving now! This place is a gem for sure. The restaurant is cozy and the staff is friendly and welcoming. We went at dinner and chose a few items on the menu to get a sampling of what they have. I've had Korma before but I've never had one as tasty as this one. The "Shahi" in the title of the dish is there for a reason. It really tastes like royalty! Everything we ate tasted great and was a good quality! And every time I cut a piece of my meat, it it was so tender, and fell apart. Perfection. This restaurant is worth driving out to. This is some of the best food I've eaten in a long time. read more

Great food served very quickly upon ordering. Service was top tier and everyone was very friendly. Would come back again any day!

Consistent and delicious Now I find ordering take out still as delicious I would recommend this place to anyone read more

We just happened to be out this side of town and decided we wanted to try a new place. We more or less figured what we wanted to eat and picked a place with good reviews at random. I have to say, I absolutely love this type of food and usually it is so Americanized or bland that you get spice with no flavor. This is NOT the same old food! This is Amazing! Every single bite was bursting with flavor and you can just taste the quality in every bite. My wife doesn't like any form of spice. Her dish came out very spicy. We mentioned it to the staff and they took it and replaced it with a no spice version very quickly. The staff was very kind and helpful. Not a ton of people when we came in about 6pm but it started to fill up a little when we left about 7pm. Lovely place with a very peaceful vibe. read more

I found this place rated high on Trip Advisor and wanted to try it for myself. They had plenty of staff to serve. The one young lady they have working for them is a gem. The other guys are ok, but very quiet which may come off as not hospitable. One brought me the receipt to sign and didn't say anything. No thank you or anything. I ordered the shrimp saag and some naan. The food was pretty awesome. The rice was very aromatic, moist and outstanding. I enjoyed every bite. I enjoyed watching the cook through the window while he prepares the food. I might try their lunch buffet one day. I will definitely be back for more. read more

Yum yum YUM! I never know what I'm eating when I come here but everything is very very DELICIOUS!! It's buffet style so when you walk in, you seat yourself, your drink order is taken and you walk to the front to get what you want. I'd assume the restaurant has been there for a long time, it's an Indian restaurant, very basic, not a lot going on in there decor wise but they have stuck to the business of food and I'm not mad. read more

Been coming to Tandoor for over 20 years. Best Indian food around. We have four generations of women in my family who love Tandoor. The buffet is perfect for those new to Indian cuisine or those who and to try other dishes, all options are delicious. read more

The Tandoor lunch buffet has a nice little variety for those who want to sample different Indian options at a great price.

We had the lunch buffet and it was a great deal! It had separate vegetarian and meat. They make the naan fresh in a tandoor and you can watch them make it. I enjoyed the vegetarian kofta and the chicken shami kabob. They are halal which is great! read more

I love everyone here! The owner is top tier. If you are looking for authentic food and a peaceful clean environment this is it. I recommend their Somosas!!!!! And of course the chicken tika masala!!!! Don't walk run to this place you will not be disappointed. read more

Brought a friend for her bday since she wanted to try Indian cuisine. I found this place on Yelp and decided to try it for myself, this place did not disappoint! They offer a lunch buffet for $12.99 and the food is fresh and hot! The buffet offered Tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, Dahl with spinach, chickpea curry and much more! The food was definitely satisfying and filing! Service was also friendly and they were able to accommodate a party of 6 quickly! I highly recommend this place when craving some dishes! read more

I went today with a good friend of mine and we enjoyed our experience. We got sat and when we ordered our waitress was very helpful in us picking our food. We tried the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Beef Madras curry. The server recommended we also get the garlic naan which paired so well with our food. Everything was delicious! 10/10 would come again. read more

This place is great! We love Indian food, but haven't been able to find a good buffet since kebab and kurry in Richardson shut down. This place is the best we have found. And the price is very good too. Service was excellent! Will definitely go back. read more

For months I have been looking at Indian Street food cooking tutorials on social media... & I realized that I hadn't eaten at any Indian restaurants since living out here in TX. So, I had lunch with a friend at Tandoor in Arlington, TX! They have a lunch buffet that was ABSOLUTELY delicious & FRESH! They had a variety of different dishes to choise from. So, I recommend if you're new to trying any Indian Cuisine like my friend. Try their buffet! Of course, I got the Basmati Rice with the Chicken Tikka Masala & I tried the Saag, which was Spinach & Cheese! The food was so fresh & delightful! The customer service was on point! It was perfect for lunch! I will DEFINITELY be back! Next time I will try another entree & order it from their menu! Their lunch hours are from 11:30a- 2:30p they close & then reopen from 5:30p- 10p on Saturdays! https://lsfoodie.wordpress.com/2021/04/11/tandoor-indian-restaurant/ read more

This was absolutely the worst Indian food. How can you make Indian flavorless. Well, they have found the secret. On top of that, they are rude. Keep looking folks this is a no go. read more

This is my go to Indian restaurant in Arlington. I have to admit I haven't tried a lot of the menu because the chicken tiki masala and samosa are so good I end up ordering the same thing every time! Definitely would recommend giving this place a try if you're in the mood for Indian food. read more

Since my original review I have moved within walking distance, and I am SO HAPPY to live so close to this place. Still an exceptional dining experience, and the lunch buffet is still my favorite. The primary thing that's changed in the intervening years is the price - the lunch buffet is no longer $8, alas, but it's still a great deal and you'll get an incredible plate of delicious food for your trouble. Additionally, the lunch crowd hasn't quite rebounded, post-COVID, which means you can get a table pretty easily, even well into lunch hours. Treat yourself to a mango lassi and thank me later. :-) read more

We have only gone for the lunch buffet. It is all delicious. Good variety of Indian food, great service. Small, popular at lunch. We've been several times and will go again. Love it! read more

Lamb curry, rice, naan - Delicious! I arrived around 12:30. The place was hoping with patrons. Always a good sign. They have a lunch buffet. I think I read Thursday- Sunday 11:30-2:30. I looked it over. It looked fresh, clean and it was popular with the customers. I prefer to order from the menu. I don't eat a full plate and I like to take home my leftovers for later (if they're good). These are great! Can't wait until I'm hungry again. The staff is very attentive. I may have slowed them down a bit because I wanted to read the entire menu. They came to my table twice to take my order before I actually ordered. Satvik and Sanjy were very friendly and attentive! I highly recommend. read more

Tandoor Indian Restaurant - Chicken tikka masala and garlic naan - Indian Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Highly recommend--this place compares well to the restaurants in Plano or Houston. They worked with me to make sure dishes didn't have dairy and advise me on vegan choices. Their lamb korma is a favorite (though I can't eat right now because my nursing baby doesn't tolerate dairy, so sad!) One of the best restaurants in Arlington. read more

Fabulous little restaurant with exceptional service and high quality food. Everything I had from the buffet tasted wonderful and the hand made garlic naan are well worth the slight additional charge. We definitely will be back to this great little spot. read more

This place is the BEST Indian food place in DFW! The food: spectacular! Full of spice and tastes very authentic. The waiters were very polite and friendly. Watching the cook make the naan in a tandoor was very immersive and fun! I will never pass up an opportunity to go to Tandoor! read more

Excellent food! So full of flavor and nice portions for the price. We have been coming to this restaurant for 15 years and it never disappoints. They use a tandoori oven where they make their freshly baked naan. I always get chicken tikka masala. Delicious! My husband gets beef curry, and loves it. Saag paneer, pakora, samosas, and tandoori chicken are other favorites. The service is quick and friendly. The ambiance is simple and clean. I highly recommend this place for good Indian food. read more

We drive 30 minutes just to eat here. Indian is the favorite food in my family and we drive by multiple other Indian options on our way here. It is absolutely delicious, the best of the best tasting Indian there is. The service is quick enough and the prices are standard. It's just a little whole in the wall type place in a random shopping center, but don't be deceived - try it. You will not regret it. read more

Amazing food, and great customer service. The restaurant is always clean, and they are quick to turn around orders.

Only been once, place is great! I was worried about the price, thinking the food might not be good for being so affordable, but I got the chicken tikka Masala and Garlic Naan and it was lovely! The team was quick and friendly. Best Indian in the area. read more

Not too bad but not that great. Probably pretty good for Arlington but nothing compared to Irving/Carrollton location for Indian food. The vindaloo was not creamy enough for me, it was more tomatoe sauce tasting. The butter chicken was good. I don't think I will Come back again, maybe if I was in the area. read more

It was just okay. They could do better with some lights and ambiance. It is very dark inside and feels like eating in a cheap mess. Food is okay so it makes even less worthwhile to eat at this place. read more

Unfortunately for me, this is the first Indian food I ever had and now I struggle to find anything comparable. Everything I've gotten from here has been incredible. My favorite is the spicy chicken tikka masala, but I also love the saag paneer. Their naan texture is perfection and tastes so good dipped in the masala sauce. Can't say enough good things about it. I drive regularly from the northeast side Dallas to Arlington just to get Tandoor! read more

Came to Tandoor after a horrible customer service at another food service business. Tandoor put me back in a good mood. Thought the food was very good quality for buffet style. I need to come here more often. It really turned my day around for the better. Service employee kept drinks cold and full. Thank You Tandoor. read more
