So many dishes are easily made vegan here, the servers are usually wonderful and everything I've ever had is just absolutely amazing. It's by far my favorite restaurant in Boulder. read more

Went there for a lunch buffet on a Saturday. There were great selection of dishes- Saag paneer was mild and the cheese cube was soft and delicious. The rest of the buffet were good--the flavors are all very mild in general, nothing spicy or too aromatic which I thought was a bit safe. This would be a great beginner place for Indian cuisine noobs ;) so if you haven't tried Indian or have been worried about the possible gastrointestinal annihilation, try this place and you should be fine. Lastly, the tandouri chicken was the most memorable--perfectly cooked and seasoned. That's reassuring since they named the restaurant after this cooking style! read more

I had the chicken tikka masala. I would recommend getting it "medium" even if you don't like your food very spicy; the mild was too bland. Even so, it was still very good. The naan was good as well. The samosas were alright, but not quite as good as others I've had. The atmosphere was nice. We opted for outdoor seating, which was very pleasant. The service was great. I'd definitely go back. read more

Great food, decent service, and good veggie options. I have been to some pretty amazing Indian restaurants (the best being in Glasgow, Scotland) and this one ranks pretty high among them. read more

I am McLovin for Tandoori Grill. This restaurant does everything right... the naans with just the right char, the curries, the paneer. Food has always been good here, but about 2 or 3 months ago it jumped up a whole 'nother notch with the flavors even clearer and more pronounced. New chef? Same chef with a new 'tude? Whatever, we're happy and our bellies are ready to dance for this wonderful food. Lunch buffet is great and dinners even better. Service is not exactly warm but plenty attentive and competent and quite speedy. Only one suggestion... I wish their wine list included a really good German Riesling such as Dr. Loosen. OMG I think I would swoon. read more

Best Indian in Boulder in my opinion. Been a regular for years and they have been pretty consistent. The bar annex they opened next door is nice if you want a faster dining experience. The korma, saag, biriyani and tandoor grill dishes are great. read more

My husband loves this place, and I'll agree it's pretty good. He loves the thickness of their curries, and we both enjoy the level of spice (their medium is actually medium, not mild!). My favorite is their kofta kabob, which is very flavorful and comes with lots of delicious grilled peppers and onions! read more

FYI: Z is gluten-free (which means she can't eat wheat, rye, or barley) so our reviews are all from the gluten-free perspective. We care about how many gluten-free options the restaurant has and how helpful the staff is in dealing with our concerns. Gluten-Free Options: Almost the entire menu is naturally gluten-free! (Except the naan, obviously.) Total From A to Z: 5 Stars A's Review: * * * * * This is just good food. Everything was already gluten free (except the naan), even the breaded and fried items, which used chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour. The staff was well-educated and snapped into action right away when we asked about GF dishes. And ten dollars for a lunch buffet is pretty good considering how excellent this food tasted. Writing about it makes me want to go back right now and eat more! Z's Review: * * * * * We went to Tandoori Grill for their lunch buffet and it was delicious! Aside from the naan, which obviously I have to avoid, the whole buffet was gluten-free. There was even breaded fish and veggies that I could eat because they had been breaded with chick pea flour. The staff was really helpful and knowledgeable when we asked about the contents of the buffet - they even went back to the kitchen to double check that it was, in fact, chick pea flour on the breading. Obviously people with extreme gluten sensitivities would want to be careful about cross-contamination when eating from a buffet, and clearly you'd have to check with the staff every time, as I'm certain the contents of the buffet change. (If you were really concerned, you could always order from the menu). But aside from those small concerns, the lunch buffet at Tandoori Grill was delicious and naturally gluten-free! I will definately be visiting again soon! read more

This felt like the kind of place where everyone knew each other, but I still felt perfectly welcome. I can't say I mind being able to stuff myself on some excellent Indian food in an unassuming pub sipping a pint of really nice local beer. This place is where East deliciously meets West, and I left here full, happy, and just a bit inebriated. What more could I ask? read more

Hands down the best Indian food in Boulder. I've been eating at the Tandoori Grill for 15 years now and the food is always excellent. The staff are friendly and courteous and the prices are reasonable. The restaurant has gone through a couple of renovations and the current iteration is elegant and spacious. I highly recommend dining there. read more

We just ate here today for the lunch buffet -- plenty of options and delicious. The buffet is a fantastic deal at $10.10 + tax per person before tip. We've ordered takeout from here before and been happy, too. The decorations, tables and seating are very appealing too; I imagine this place would be nice for a sit-down dinner. read more

Quality of food and service have both declined since pandemic began. We live in South Boulder and were regular pre-pandemic customers who enjoyed the food -- vegan and gluten-free friendly -- although the sometimes smokey dining room was unpleasant. We have now tried Tandoori's take-out only derive twice with mixed-to-poor results. The first time the food was good but service poor with items not in the pick-up bag but were still on the bill. Second time the food was poor quality, weirdly spiced and not as ordered, and we ended up throwing most of it away. The pick-up took about a half hour because the on-line order "never printed out" and required several trips inside the now very smokey restaurant to straighten out. The server handling the order was very nice and did her best to solve the problem, but the owner was hanging out with his obnoxious dog in the restaurant and didn't seem to notice or care that an order was lost. An email directly to the restaurant elicited no response. We were looking forward to a special meal at home and instead were disappointed and wasted $60+. We're done with this place for sure. read more

table for two and a simple dinner with two drinks took over 2 hours. Service was absolute crap. The server simply disappeared and then we had to beg for the check. The bill was almost $70. The restroom was a disaster, did not appear to have been cleaned in weeks. Finally, they simply don't answer the phone. They simply never pick up the phone????? read more

This place os wonderful! Love the samosa, naan & chicken masala. If you want heat you definitely have to ask for it as they are pretty comservative on spice (that's about the only thing conservative you'll find in this town!) read more

* Good Lunch buffet * Descent taste of Indian food * Biriyani isnt the Hyderabadi biriyani...its more north Indian * Vegetarian items are tastier than the non-veg items * Good service * good ambience read more

I'm fairly new to the Indian food but I know when something tastes delicious. Ate cheese samosas and chicken vindaloo (spicy :) Awesome.

By far, the best Indian food restaurant in Boulder, and I've had them all (on multiple occasions). I highly recommend the tikka masala, but everything is good... if you have a favorite Indian dish, then try their version. I've been eating here for six years, and it's still one of my favorite restaurants in Boulder. Unfortunately, my significant other does not like Indian food, so I don't make it out here as much as I used to. read more

Delicious spicy Indian food. Great service, plenty of seating, and friendly people. Nice ambience. The saag paneer is amazing here. Great portions too. read more

Awesome, inexpensive, authentic Indian food in a nice atmosphere. Definitely worth visiting regularly if you're a local, and at least once if you're from out of town. read more

Excellent north Indian food! Fabulous bhindi masala, vegetable korma and samosas. Service is okay. I do take out mostly, and the food is ready on time. Recommend this place if you are craving flavorful spicy food. read more

I seem to be at odds with the Yelp mentality about Indian food in Boulder. True, the restaurant space is nice, the service was friendly and fast, and the buffet provided both veggies and meatier options. And after grumbling about the lack of spice, I found my comeuppance in an unmarked bottle of red sauce that delivered a satisfying mule kick to my sinuses. But I thought the food was unremarkable and rather bland, and it was hard to be too enthusiastic about anything. The next time I'm craving Indian I'll have to make the trip down to Yak & Yeti instead. read more

Every time I come to Boulder I eat here. I have tried a variety of dishes but migrate back to the standard.. The Chili Chicken Tikka is great. I like hot food and the medium usually suffices. Hotter than the hot version of vindaloo. Loads of chicken, jalapeño, onion and sauce. The spicy eggplant dish is a good addition. The Vindaloo is flavorful but not that spicy. The goat curry was good. All the dishes are good sized. The kulchas and naans are well cooked. I like the sweet one but usually end up with garlic. Nice chai. Service is attentive and a steady crowd eats here. Looks like a good take out business too. read more

Very good Indian food, best in south Boulder. Takeout isn't super speedy but it's worth it. Their saag is great, so are veggie pakoras. Food runs on the spicy side. Medium is sometimes too hot for me. read more

Pretty good Indian food. Not as good as the Yak & Yeti. I got the chicken vindaloo and asked for hot but it wasn't really very spicy. It did have good flavor and texture though, and made a good meal. I also got the garlic naan, which was a little overly buttered but still good. A good place to eat. I will probably return. Service was OK. read more

Generous portions, good value and very friendly, efficient staff. Met expectations of reviews and 4 star ratings.

I had tried lunch buffet over here. The food was good and the staff was helpful. I love the chicken tikka masala over here and mango pudding. Worth it!! read more

I only go here for the lunch buffet and the food is delicious. Well worth the trip.

I've been here many times and have never been disappointed. Best Indian food in town and best buffet period. The only problem is that the food is so good I always eat too much, so I can't go as often as I'd like! read more

Ordered takeout last night for dinner, there were 4 of us. For some reason the food seemed WAY overpriced, but upon further review, it was just a BIT overpriced. We had 85$ worth of food that gave us 4 lunches, and 1 leftover dinner. Very delicious food!!! I have spent time in India, and it is very similar to the food served in nicer places in Mumbai...definitely not village food =) read more

I have always had a wonderful experience when dining at the Tandoori Grill restaurant. The staff are friendly and accommodating, with children and dietary constraints. The variety of the cuisine is fantastic. This is the best Indian food that I have had state side. read more

Great food and comfortable atmosphere. Take out is delicious and quality not compromised. Kid-friendly. The management is great about offering suggestions for the new diners. read more

Excellent service and the food was outstanding. The naan and the tandoori lamb dish was cooked well and full of flavor. Added a side of chutney and some yogurt and a paneer sag curry, and my fiancé and I were very satisfied. We'll be back. read more

Everything I have gotten here has been wonderfully delicious! I usually get their special in order to get out of my tikka masala habit. Both are always awesome. I feel they are in the higher price range so we can only go there once a month, but they have big portions so you usually get to take some home. Full bar at your service. Their chai is delicious and the service is prompt. You can't beat that with a stick! read more

The food is outstanding here and very friendly environment at the restaurant. Definitely the best Indian restaurant in boulder. Should be in your checklist when you are visiting boulder. read more

Best Indian food in the entire State...can't wait to go back! I'm Indian and this food is better than my Moms. Owners are friendly and come great you and make you feel at home. Service staff are always happy and very informative...great service, food and authentic atmosphere! read more

I've never had a bad meal at here. Food is consistently good, better than the ambiance. Naan is yummy.

Great food, Friendly knowledgeable staff & Ownership. Chicken Tikka Masala & shrimp "stir fry" were Fantastic. Saag was maybe the best I've ever had. I can handle a lot of spice & garlic, but I have to say my stomach was a bit torn up all night. It was worth it though! read more

New beef kabobs and Cornish game hens. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

First disclaimer: I have never eaten the lunch buffet here so my comments apply to dinner only ... I had an Indian girlfriend (grew up in Mumbai) who used to drag me to all the Indian restaurants around Boulder/Denver. This was by far her favorite and mine too. She loved their Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Korma. My favorites are Chicken Biryani and Tandori Chicken. My vegetarian daughter really likes their Saag Paneer. For those of you who complained that the food was too bland, you must not have come for dinner. On most of the curries they ask whether you want mild, medium, or hot. I usually choose medium and find it quite spicy. And believe me I am a person who likes to sweat (usually at Mexican restaurants). It is fairly obvious that they use a lot of spices in their dishes because they typically have a marvelous blending of many flavors. read more

Two words: mango lassi. They are soooo good, and the food is good too. I really like their samosas.
