Tandoor Char House has some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had! They bring out chutneys when you sit down that are absolutely amazing and every dish I’ve tried there was delicious! It is spicy though, I usually order spicy at other restaurants and medium was perfect here. BYOB is great too!

The tandoor chicken was super delicious, and you can get a whole chicken for 30 and could easily be split between 3-4 people. Smelled a bit weird inside though but at least the food was good

Our favorite Indian restaurant in the city! Literally everything is delicious. Some standouts to me personally were the extremely beefy samosas that came with three dipping sauces omg! We ordered a couple entrees and everything was absolutely perfect. Our waiter was super nice and attentive and dinner went without a hitch! We came during Diwali so we made sure to get a reservation!

This was a very poor experience. I was expecting much more from this place. Whenever I walked past their take-out location on Hubbard street, the smell of Tandoor was mesmerizing. So I decided to visit the restaurant.

Good food. Only tried a few dishes but the other tables I saw come out looked great. However, very lackluster ambience. Couple pics on the wall, otherwise bare and almost like a pop up room with no decoration. No alcohol if yer looking for it. Needs more care put into environment to make it more welcoming; even a small amount would help immensely. Also, please turn down your phone ringer so we don’t have to hear it all through dinner All the best!

The food here is always amazing. They catered our wedding and did a PHENOMENAL job. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. The whole catering team was responsive, early for the event, and were communicative throughout the whole process. Go eat at one of their physical locations, yes, but I highly recommend their catering for your next event. The catering menu is varied and flexible, too!

We have been coming here for years and have always loved it. However it seems over the last couple of years, the quality of the food has gone down. The place is pricey which we were never bothered by because of the great food quality and the zabiha halal options. Now, the food isn’t worth the price anymore. It’s still good, but not great and it makes us disappointed. Worth a try if you are looking for a good fancy Indian restaurant or a fusion restaurant but expect to pay a decent amount for food that isn’t worth the hefty price tag.
