We were craving some authentic Indian food, and this for sure hit the spot. Sunday at 4 pm it was…read moreempty, but we were a party of 8, so it worked out perfectly. It is a smaller place, and they have only one high chair, heads up. We ordered a few different things to get a sense of how their flavor profile is. We ordered the following: Vegetable Samosa - great ratio of dough and filling; the green side sauce is so fresh and amazing. Butter Chicken - amazing, buttery, flavorful chicken. Vegetable Biryani - very flavorful and just the right amount of vegetables. Spicy Chicken Kodai - this was a fantastic one of our favorites. Mix Vegetable Curry - this was yummy as well but nothing special. Butter , Chili, and Garlic Naan. The naans are great, but if you love a kick, get the chili one. Overall, we really enjoyed this place. I think we have now found our go-to Indian spot in this area. Their menu items do say which region the food is from. We will be back to try other menu items.

First visit, on a Monday, so pretty quiet dining. Pretty basic setup with menus and drinks,…read morefriendly staff was attentive and welcoming. The Hop Queen ordered the non-veg lunch special, butter chicken, and I ordered the Vindaloo (spicy), as this is my usual litmus test for a new Indian restaurant. Everything was prepared fresh for us, nothing tasted like it had been prepped before we arrived. Lots of fresh spice flavour, and the naan was a bit different (in a good way) from other places - nice texture and crunch with the flavour. Lots of interesting looking items on menu, it was a nice touch that almost all were ID'd with a specific region in India. Would be fun to work through the menu and try different items!

Still an awesome value for the quality and quantity of food we get, and we appreciate the adjustable spice levels! They always ask, and then double check after the food is served, to make sure it's what you wanted. I like extra spicy, and they gave me the "make the gori cry" level, and the Hop Queen likes extra mild, and it fits her tolerance well.

Food was excellent. Service was okay…read more Ambiance was average. The Butter Curry dish is most recommended. Garlic Naan was very good.

I constantly drive past this spot and decided to try it out since it's fairly new…read more The place was super clean and had a really nice aesthetic with the neon light. They also have desserts displayed that looked yummy. I decided to try something new (Afghani Curry) DELICIOUS! So flavorful with a good kick! Chicken lollipops were so crispy and came with a nice red sauce. Mango lassi was drank within seconds it was great. We will be back for sure!

Got takeout from Spice Matka once and was not impressed. The food was excessively spicy. I am a…read morespicy food lover and am used to Indian cuisine, but can confidently state that this was too much. The amount of spice used was uncomfortable and took away from the flavor of the food. I could hardly taste anything. I'd recommend choosing one of the many other Indian restaurants opening up in the area to try over this one.

Had dinner at Tandoor recently and really enjoyed it. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was…read moreclean and relaxed, and the service was very friendly. The biryani was especially good -- the chicken was moist, flavorful, and literally falling off the bone. The paneer tikka masala was also a standout and full of flavor. Portion sizes were generous and the prices felt like a great value for the quality and amount of food you get. The only thing I'd personally like to see changed would be fountain drinks and ice water instead of canned or bottled drinks, but that's a pretty minor thing overall. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

I've eaten here in person before and always enjoyed the vibes and atmosphere. This time we ordered…read morea variety of dishes for delivery and overall, the food was good. Pricing is a little out of whack, though. The prices I paid, excluding Uber fees and tips, were comparable to what they list on their website. Mutton Karahi (8/10): Super good and tasty. Second to Zaviya's, which is just way better, but this was really good on its own. Mutton Koyla Karahi (9/10): So good. This is essentially the same as the above but with a charred, charcoal flavor that I absolutely loved. The gravy is slightly thicker since it's a bit more dried out. One of my favorite dishes of the meal. Chicken Bihari Boti (8/10): As expected, really good. I actually liked the chicken Bihari more than the beef. Chicken Malai Boti (8.5/10): Wifey's favorite, not mine. Still very good though. Chicken Dum Biryani with Aloo (9/10): Really yummy. The chicken was perfect and I loved this dish. The one aloo that came with it was good too. I didn't realize the aloo in the title literally meant... one aloo lol. :/ This and the Mutton Koyla Karahi were my favorites. Garlic Naan (6/10): It was okay. 3 Mix Grill Platter: Super expensive for what you get. This should at least come with some naan or some kind of bread. - Beef Bihari Kabab (7/10): Good, but nothing memorable. - Beef Seekh Kabab (6.5/10): It was okay as well. - Mutton Seekh (5/10): There's an upcharge for this and ironically, it was my least favorite. It still had whole spices in it which didn't feel good biting into. Overall, we enjoyed the food and being able to try so many different dishes. The Mutton Koyla Karahi and Chicken Dum Biryani were easily my favorites. But at $145 before fees, taxes, and tips, I'm not sure the value is there. You could get half trays of many of these dishes from Mirchi and other places and probably end up with 60% more food for similar taste and quality.

I just told my daughter about this place and will bring her family along. There was so much food from our lunch that we had to get a couple of bags to carry leftovers home. I couldn't eat dinner last night and I had some of the leftovers for lunch today. We were the only party at lunch yesterday that were not Indian. That is always a good sign at an ethnic themed restaurant.

We got the chow mein, chicken tikka masala, and chicken tandoori. While I wish there would have been some music playing in the background, having conversation with family and the owner helped fill in the gaps of quietness. One thing to point out is that you'll need to ask for iced water since normally they serve temp water.

I am not sure why this place has so high ratings ! We went in on a Friday evening around 8pm and…read morethere was no one . There was no one even on the reception. We waited for a bit and then had to actually walk in and call someone. We helped ourselves and sat down . And after a bit the same person came over to take our order . It was sad that there was only 1 person as well as they never knew English ! It was super hard for us to explain or ask anything related to menu . Half of the things in menu were not available! Everytime we ordered something the server had to go inside and check if t was available ! It just became super awkward.. we decided to walk out ! It's a simple restaurant but at least they should have someone on front who can talk to customers and take orders !
