The menu variety was good. Pricing was reasonable. We ordered an appetizer dish of Idli and Vada Sambar followed by individual orders of dosas which is what we came for. The food came out shortly. The dosas' texture and taste were nice. The sambar was okay but chutneys were tasty. We received good service. The restaurant's atmosphere was pleasant and inviting. I am curious to try other dishes at this restaurant.

Great flavor and heat! They asked for the heat level for my chicken biyani and I said 10 (out of 10)...they double checked and I said 10 (due to recent experience at another place where 10 was a 5)...man! I am sweating! I don't usually use the yogurt that came with it...not that I had to put yogurt and I ended up ordering mango lassi. The egg bhuji and chicken seekh kabob had great flavor too. The egg bhuji here tasted more like Chinese spicy scramble egg than what we had at other places. But that flavor was at another level! Wish my mom could make that good :p

The momo dish came with a wonderful sauce, and the chicken lollipops were very tender. For entrees, the goat curry was delicious and aromatic.

This is definitely a spot I will come back to visit again and try more dishes.

Amazing food and even better service!…read more We've ordered from Curry NaanStop Indian Grill before, so it was no surprise when my hubby requested it again for Father's Day. I headed over for pickup and the place was packed. There was a line of people waiting for the buffet and honestly... not surprising at all once you taste the food. While I was waiting for our order, the owner came over and offered me what I think was tea or coffee with cream. Such a thoughtful and welcoming touch. It was absolutely delicious and made the whole experience feel extra special. We ordered the garlic naan (because... obviously), Chicken Mughalai, Butter Paneer Masala, and Chicken Tikka Masala. Each entrée came with white rice and every dish had its own unique flavor and spice profile. Rich, creamy, comforting, and full of flavor without feeling repetitive. The food was amazing but the service really stood out. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. We'll definitely be back and next time we're trying the buffet so we can open up our palate and try even more dishes. 5 stars for incredible food and amazing service!

I love a good Biriyani and that's exactly what I got. The rice was moist and my lamb wasn't overcooked or dried out. My grilled and fried veggies in the rice was fresh as well and hadn't just been sitting in one big pot. I could taste everything individually in the rice and you get an eggg. But what was very noticeable was the price. I've had mediocre food in the area for 4-7.00 more a plate in the area. I also like the variety. Everyplace doesn't offer goat. I'll be back for sure

The minimal staff seemed unsure what to do, and the tables were not set. We were handed plastic plates and utensils, paper napkins. It was odd after reading the reviews and seeing pictures. There were no bar offerings and it seemed to be a no alcohol establishment. It was very quiet, as there was no music or sound except our group talking and laughing. We felt like we were being loud, but it's just that the whole place was so quiet and empty. The food was good, however, and there was a steady stream of take out and door dash happening. A few more families came it for dinner, but it was a mostly empty house. Service was acceptable, food was very good, but ambiance was definitely lackluster and uninviting.

Sometimes there's still a hint of mild spice, but this was great for our kids. Portion sizes are great and surprisingly generous. We ordered to go and all the food was still nice and hot when we brought it back. What we got: Butter chicken (not spicy) - So good. Such a staple for us and this one was kind of light on the tongue with a hint of sweetness. Palak paneer (not spicy) - This is akin to a creamed spinach with cheese cubes. We love this. Solid order -- it was good. I think other places have been a bit more savory compared to here, but we love this as a veg dish. Lamb biryani - This was so, so good. Other biryanis we've had have felt really heavy (maybe too greasy?), and super spicy. This one is delightfully bright flavored and surprisingly light feeling! I liked this so much. The lamb was delicious and tender. No bones or gristle in it. Just so good. And paired with the yogurt sauce to take some of the heat off--chef's kiss. This is definitely a spicy dish though. But so worth it. Shrimp korma - This was new to us! And I loved it a lot! It's coconutty and bright, but still creamy. It's reminiscent of a Thai curry if that helps give a comparison. I could drink this curry if it was acceptable. Butter naan - Nothing bad could ever be said about a butter naan. Delicious. Order so many. We fed 4 adults and 2 kids with more than enough leftovers. Maybe this will have to take our place as our new go-to for Indian!

The aromas that hit your senses as you walk into Tandoor Curry Hotspot is something out of a dream!…read more I've been to Tandoor twice: once with my book club and 6 other people, and another with a girl friend of mine. Both times, the staff was incredibly warm and kind, and both times my food was flavorful. I have had the bullet naan ($5) and the garlic naan. And both times I ordered a dish with paneer (I'm vegetarian, and love a good Indian dish with paneer). I will say, that the first time I was here, I ordered a glass of wine, and knew IMMEDIATELY as the wine was set down in front of me, that the wine was spoiled. The Pinto Grigio stank like an old Chardonnay and turned my stomach so badly after just one sip, I had to take my food to go and finished it the next day. I have also noticed that the water carafes and glasses were kind of dirty the two times that I was in here, and that's a huge turnoff for me when dining in a restaurant (hence the 4 stars, not 5). I highly recommend Tandoor for the food and service, just skip alcoholic beverages, and maybe don't drink the water...?
