This is a consistently good Indian restaurant. The dining room atmosphere is nice. There is a vegan menu- I recommend that vegans instruct the weight staff to write “vegan” at the top of the order. I really like the dal and the roti! My guests thought the butter chicken was delicious.

We ordered Biryani, Paneer Tikka Masala, Roti and rice at the restaurant.I can say that the food was not up to my expectations(Indian).The taste was quite bland and unremarkable. I personally do not recommend this place to anyone, as I feel Khichdi would probably taste better than what we had.

Cafe Tandoor is pretty solid as far as local Indian restaurants go. The food is quite tasty, especially (and perhaps unsurprisingly) the tandoor dishes. I’ve never seen biryani served with a heavy, creamy curry sauce before, but it was also good (if a bit odd). Service and prices are so-so (be forewarned: you do have to pay extra for rice, which is rather strange). One of the best things about the restaurant is that the kitchen is actually capable/willing to adjust spice levels all the way from true “gringo mild” to ultra-fiery (be sure to put the TP in the freezer for tomorrow morning).

My family and I have thoroughly enjoyed Cafe Tandoor for years. The food is delicious and the folks who run it are top-notch. This is a neighborhood gem.

Naan was the only good item we had. I do not recommend the butter chicken, nonveg appetizer platter, and the chicken biriyani. Food is expensive but not tasty.

I went there with my mother for dinner service. Staff was nice, service was quick and good server was very attentive. The appetisers were quite nice paneer pakora, and samosa were made fresh and served quick, my mother really like one of the chutney which came with samosa. While main course was okay in my opinion. But in all, the food and service experience was pleasant. The portions of meal were pretty big. We had to pack most of the food to bring back home. Interiors and atmosphere was really good i liked it very much.

With authentic recordings of sitar music in the background, the atmosphere is perfect. You can actually have a quiet, intimate conversation! Food is delicious. They do charge extra for the rice, which some complain about. But their prices for their wonderfully aromatic meals are very reasonable. Definitely try their onion kulcha bread! Big on cleanliness, the staff is always welcoming. They serve alcohol, and some Indian wines and beer.

July 2021: I had a taste for Indian food and decided to give this restaurant a shot. I ordered the butter chicken, white rice, and naan to go. It was delicious, but the portions were smaller than I would’ve expected. Conclusion: I will have to go back for the dine in experience and to try their version of the lamb vindaloo.
