Been on the hunt for a great Indian spot since moving back to Essex County, because some places do…read moretoo much and it's just disappointing. Thankfully found Urban Tandoor today because now I am a fan! Ordered on Uber Eats: Chana Masala Vegan mild, samosa chat (vegan), schezwan noodles (vegan), samosas, lemon rice My notes: - everything came with rice, so you don't need to order a side of rice - everything was ON POINT and DELICIOUS - the noodles are spicy- very tasty but spicy - mild still has a kick (as should be reasonably expected, because it's Indian food), so have water and naan on hand Fresh and tasty, well packaged for delivery. Highly recommend!!

I didn't have a drink, but they do have a full bar, a wine room, and beer on tap. The space was clean and well kept, and the service was professional, our waiter was dressed neatly in a white button-down and dress pants. The food was excellent. Portions were just right, not too big, not too small. We both ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala and garlic naan, and both were spot on. Overall, a great place for Indian food. I'd definitely visit again if I'm in the area.

My husband got the tandoori chicken momo and said they had great flavor and we tried their Bombay sandwich with cheese. I felt like the sandwich was missing a little flavor but it was tasty.

Definitely a standout starter. For our entrees, we ordered the Kokam Branzino and Shrimp Gassi, both served with basmati rice, and they were absolutely divine. The branzino was beautifully cooked with bright, balanced flavors, and the shrimp gassi was rich, comforting, and deeply satisfying. The ambiance was nice--warm and inviting--and while the service was okay, the food truly stole the show. This is the kind of place you return to for the flavors alone, and we'd happily go back again just for the meal.

Reasons why I need to take 3 stars away - 1. For marketing…read moreyourself as upscale with NYC prices, the ambiance and experience are definitely not up to par for the price. 2. The quality of the food is very much similar to all the other indian restaurants that are good so not sure they charge 2x the price. Maybe for making some non-creative things like naan pizza - people just want quality and it missed the mark. 3. Service is blah - not what you expect for charging 30-40$ entrees - seems so lazy! It's fine - do what you want - just don't expect return customers.

The ambiance is largely due to daughter Nure whose incredible passion and enthusiasm throughout the night in describing Bengali culture, history and food was incredible!

As delicious as the food is, be prepared to take a lot home. You enter Korai Kitchen hungry, curious and with great anticipation. You leave full, satisfied and part of the family! Sorry for the lack of pics. I just went in as soon as the dishes started arriving, eager to savor the meal rather than to record it. My advice: Just go! Its a culinary adventure!
