This restaurant averages around 11 to 15 dollar entrees and 7 to 8 dollar appetizers. For the the price of the food, it was just not worth it. When I asked the waitress to explain the special, she was sarcastic and rude. She also was not very helpful to my friend's questions about certain entrees. I mean come on, Indian food varies from region to region. When we got the food there was not a good balance of ingredients and liquid. The flavor was too strong the combination of the spices were too heavy (and I do not mean spicy). I have had Indian food before in the United Stated, in fact, it was all had eaten when I was in the UK. There are good Indian restaurants out there, just not at Tandoor.

After much research through the web last February, I deceided that Tandoor would be the perfect restaurant to have a wonderful Valentines dinner with my new girlfriend. I knew that I had made the right choice, from the moment we walked in... the dinning room glowed with soft copper and gold like colors with the flickering candel lights, the warm and cozy fireplace, intimate seating, and the soothing music playing in the back. The waitstaff was very polite, extremely curtious...all our questions were answerd, and all expectations were met and surpassed. You deffinitely get your moneys worth at this gem of a restaurant. The food is top notch and some of the best Indian cuisine around. It will keep you coming back for more and more. (I know we will). You'll want to try everthing on the menu... you'll never dull your senses. It will keep you talking about it and telling your friends for days after. (Do not be surprised if the owner and the chef come to your table to ask how things are).
