I'll be honest, this isn't where we were intending to eat! But, the place next door had a very long wait, so we gave it a try! This was the best discovery! We have never had Indian food. We always thought it would be too spicy. Here, if you want the spice, you let them know. I had the Chicken Tikka 16. It was very tasty, but just a little dry. It was not overly spicy at all and probably a good first dish! (Next time, I'm going for the Tandoori Chicken.) My husband has the Tandoori Mixed Grill 25 to try different items. He loves them all. I was not a fan of the lamb, but everything else was good. We also tried the Nan and Garlic Nan breads. Both tasted similar. They were very light! I would highly recommend Cafe Tandoor! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful for us first timers! We will definitely be back!

We had an amazing lunch! The service was great, we asked for recomendations and the Butter Chicken was amazing! We were also able to try the yellow rice. It is their special house rice and should definitely appear on your order :) amazing indian food and service!

Our family of four enjoyed dining at Cafe Tandoor! The food was delicious and the servers were nice and attentive. The buttered chicken was extremely good and we all had clean plates by the end of the meal which is a rarity. Thank you, Cafe Tandoor!

By far my favorite restaurant for many years. The food is always amazing. The staff is helpful and caring. It is clean and atmosphere has Indian music. It’s the real thing! We celebrated my birthday with a long table of family and really enjoyed everything!

Pics of food and menu. Good food, nice service, good atmosphere. It's better from inside that outside. My husband and I were positively surprised. I'll return there for sure.
