Writing this several months from the day I ate here. Sorry. The hostess/cashier is a very sweet girl. She wants to make sure you are happy and satisfied. For $16 the buffet is well worth it. They bring bread, naan, whatever is being served that day to the table nice and hot. A small bottle of water was provided. The day I went they had vegetables, white rice, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, curry chicken, and a pork dish. Salad comes with a yogurt dressing which I do not like. At the time they did not have a variety of salad dressing. The dahl was delicious. My daughter is a picky eater and said it was just okay. I thought for the price they had a very nice selection. The inside of the restaurant is plain. Nothing fancy, but I am there for the food. I hope to visit again when I come back in November. read more

Great value for Buffett! Really good variety of food . Quick easy self serve buffet and even water . While eating, they brought out fresh made garlic naan that was delicious ! Highly recommend and very affordable !! read more

Great food, great sèvice. Had the shrimp with butter sauce, ànd had enough to eat it for dinner the next night!

Tasty food. All you can eat buffet for $15. I thought were was 25 dishes but I guess it's a random selection of 25 different options. There was about 10-15 things when we went. Everything was delicious but my favorite was the naan. They did bring out more when we finished it but man I could have eaten so much more of that than was provided. I don't have a lot of experience with Indian food but I was glad to try new things I hadn't tried yet. I was sad there wasn't samosas when we went. Would have preferred that over the spring rolls. I also tried the masala chai and it was very flavorful. The place is pretty small and seemingly already popular. There wasn't really any tables available when we first walked it but one was cleared right away. If the mixed curd is there and you're not sure what it is I recommend eating it over rice. It reminded me of a tzatziki and I tried it last, had to go back for more rice and the pakora. That and the pakora were my next favorite things. I will be back if there was a way to tell if the items would be a different variety next time read more

I've been waiting for this place to open. So we I heard that they opened I went there for lunch that same day. I heard about their $15 lunch buffet but they also have a great lunch special which is two curries, Naan bread, rice, and a drink for only $10 (take out only). I really hope they keep the lunch special. The service was chill because I went during lunch and you serve yourself. The employee explained everything and that they will give you the Naan bread and the salad. I used to come here when it was Carlito's Chicken. The new owners have done so much and the ambiance is so nice. My food was delicious!!!!!! I couldn't believe the value for my lunch because you really can't get much for $10 these days. Thank you Tandoori Corner for everything!!! I really appreciate you!!!!! I may even go tomorrow. read more

Oceanside now has a new Indian food restaurant and it's located inland. These are my experiences for Tandoori Corner. Tandoori Corner is located on Mission Ave, just behind Yum Yum Donuts, where Carlito's Chicken used to be. While this business can't really be considered a "hole in the wall", it is definitely located within an area that is not often traveled by many. The businesses that thrive in this area are the ones that have connected with local community patrons and do not rely on tourist dollars to survive. Tandoori Corner is 2 blocks away from the 76 highway and just off of Mission Ave and this makes it very easily accessible. In addition, just across the way in the 76 Hwy, is the future construction site of Oceanside's first Mega Surf Waterpark. Once complete, this tourist destination will draw attention to all surrounding businesses and this will be good for that area's economy. The only downside is that 3 blocks away, is Brother Benno's (a homeless outreach center), so once you drive in that area, it appears kinda sketchy. But on my 3 visits here, I've never seen an issue with vagrants or felt unsafe in the area. Tandoori Corner is family-owned and specializes in good Indian food at phenomenal pricing. They are the only Indian restaurant in Oceanside that has a Lunch All-You-Can-Eat Buffet with over 25 dishes on rotation for $15. This Lunch Special is from 11:00am to 3:30pm, 7 days a week. There's also a LUNCH COMBO for $10 where you can pack your TO-GO container and grab a drink. It's really such a great deal for those in the area. I've been here 3 times to attend their buffet and I've enjoyed all my dishes ranging from: curry chicken, curry lamb, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, dal makhani, paneer pakora, aloo tikka, chicken karahi, samosas and my favorite gulab jamun (sweet pastry balls). To order, simply walk-in, order at the counter, fill your plate and then enjoy your meal. They also have mango lassi and an assortment of other beverages to enjoy and their menu is growing. After 3:30pm buffet has ended, then you can enjoy dine-in table service. Their service is very attentive & friendly. The interior decor for Tandoori Corner is nice and leans into a modern approach to Indian culture. I like when they have the cultural music playing too. The table arrangements are good for families and groups, with a few spots for couples dining-in. The establishment is clean overall, but I did have to remind them to do bathroom checks, as they had ran out of toilet paper one time. I know that they have just opened and they are working out the kinks in operations. But I can say, that if they can maintain the quality of their food at this level AND keep the prices this low, I believe that Tandoori Corner will do well in Oceanside, especially in our current economy. read more

I walked in at 3:15 to order for the buffet. Completely closed down and cleaned up . I asked why do you have a sign that says buffet open til 3:30 . why don't you take down the false advertising sign ? She looked back like , "no my problem ; i only work here " she looked back like the management was hiding behind the door and could hear what i was saying but too cowardly to explain why they would continue to advertise what they no longer have. The way I felt is if they were too cheap to take down an out of date sign ? what else are they too cheap to do ? Maybe they would be too cheap to throw out bad food and serve it to their customers that they don't respect . I mean if they did respect their customers they wouldn't lie to their customers about their hours ? i mean its okay for us to waste our time -- but not their time ? New restaurant ? you think they would try to make a good first impression ? if they don't even care about that ? how could they care about the health of the food they service ? read more

Service is fine even though you can barely understand what they are saying. The food is bland and not many choices. We came on Friday lunch. Only 2 chicken and 2 veg. No lamb or goat. They said it's too expensive to provide those. Either way for $15/person it's average. Again, the food is bland and not spicy. I mean if you were looking to eat Indian, you want heavy flavors with spice... Not going to find it here. read more

Beat chicken I've ever had! The Tandoori chicken is sooo delicious I can't even put into words!! I crave it all the time and now eat it at least once or twice a week. Everything I have tried I delicious but I don't need much more than my tandoori chicken mild. I always order out since I work through dinner time and it comes una container packed with at least 6 pieces of the best tasting chicken and so soft come right off the bone with some onions peppers and other sautéed veggies around it. Give me some butter naan and I'm the happiest! Employees there are great. Super personable and very helpful. I love it there and I will continue to eat there as often as I can. Finally we have a good Indian food place in the area! read more

We went for the lunch buffet on a Friday afternoon. They had a lot of options and ran out of the tandoori chicken pretty much immediately and did not replenish. The one other thing is that the food area wasn't kept very hot so I felt like the food was lukewarm however when they did bring out fresh food, it was very good and the garlic naan that they bring to your table was a nice touch. For $14.99 this is great value for an Indian food buffet. Also love the saag. Service was very good. read more

Went to try the buffet, got there 10 minutes after opening. Was confused on what the process was. As I was eating I saw a bug crawling in my chicken. My husband then tells me there was a bunch of bugs flying around. We then see a spider crawling down from the ceiling. I was disgusted, never coming back read more

This was my first time trying Tandoori Corner and I was really hoping it would be this DELICIOUS! I am not a vegetarian but I was in a veggie mood. I ordered the Aloo Gobi, medium spiciness, and the Malai Kofta, mild. Both dishes were excellent and so satisfying and tasty. I also had a mango lassi that was off the chain. I will definitely be coming back and can't wait to try the buffet to see what other things are on the menu. read more

I have had Tandoori Corner on my radar for a while, and finally made it in for their lunch buffet, which is only available on the weekends. I'm glad I made the trip.

The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was bright and clean. Overall and excellent value. Be sure to give this place a try. read more

First time here. Im a chef w 38 years experience in the industry. This place has excellent food and service!!! Highly recommend it

Went for lunch with my mom and tried the buffet I think it was good value for the price. Wish food was a little hotter but it tasted good. My mom didn't like the fish. The samosa and pakora were great and I liked the flavor of the butter chicken and saag. The naan was also really good and so was the tamarind sauce I ate so much of that. Mango lassi was yummy too! read more

Tandoori Corner has become my go-to spot for a delicious and satisfying meal! The buffet is an absolute highlight--packed with a mouthwatering variety of succulent tandoori dishes, aromatic curries, and freshly baked naan that keeps me coming back. Whether it's the perfectly charred tandoori chicken, the creamy butter chicken, or the vibrant veggie options, every bite feels like a celebration of authentic Indian cuisine. What truly sets this place apart is the unbeatable value. The buffet is generously priced for the quality and variety offered, making it a steal for both solo diners and families. I've returned every few months (sometimes even more often!) and the consistency in flavor and freshness never disappoints--every visit feels as satisfying as the first. The staff is warm and attentive, and the cozy, clean ambiance adds to the relaxed dining experience. If you're craving hearty, flavorful food without breaking the bank, Tandoori Corner is a gem worth discovering. I'll definitely keep this in my rotation--try it once, and you'll understand why it's earned so many repeat visits from me! read more

Tried their chicken byrani today with mild spicy! And it was amazing a huge hefty serving as well, big enough for two with leftovers. And I know this because I split it with my husband!

They have good quality food and the ambiance is great. We just hope they gave us the naan earlier.

I'll start the review by saying I'm Indian, so I know good Indian food. I found this place to be just okay. We ordered the lamb biryani, butter chicken (husband's request, not mine), and saag paneer. Everything had very mild flavours, not the robust explosion you expect in your mouth when eating Indian food. There was no option to pick the spice level, so there was absolutely no spice in any of the dishes. Lamb in the biryani was very tough and not tender at all. Chicken seemed dry even though it was in a curry which I always find to be odd. They did have very reasonable prices, though. read more

Nice little lunch buffet here. The food taste is excellent. They could have done a little more to keep the food hot, but overall excellent lunch for this party of 3. The garlic naan was SUPER good! Mango Lassi was great! read more

Went for the weekend buffet and who could beat the price or flavor! Upon coming in the place was pretty much empty and the food was running low. When we served ourselves for the buffet the food was already cold (buffet started at 11am and we came in at about 1:45pm). When asking the server about heating up the food she gladly offered to heat it up for us. The server also let us know of there was any dish we wanted more of they would gladly make more. The food was delicious especially the 2 rice options, chicken curry, and of course the chicken tikki masala. The samosas were delicious as well. I went in on 3 plates, and also who could forget the delicious garlic naan bread! The only reason im not giving a 5 is because although the server was accommodating and she wasnt very quick especially considering the place was empty. We had to keep asking for refills on the bread and we had to ask for water (which was a tiny little bottle of water). Other than that I will definitely go again. read more

Nope, this food was not good! They have no tap water and gave us a tiny water bottle. We had to buy a drink. There was thick black hair in one of our dishes. The food was not good Indian. read more
