What an unexpected find in Colorado Springs!…read more
We're visiting from California and originally stopped at another Indian restaurant that's well known for its buffet. After seeing the food, it just didn't look very appetizing to us, so we decided to try Urban Tandoor instead -- and we are SO glad we did.
We grew up in Delhi, which is arguably the food capital of India, so when it comes to North Indian food, our taste buds can be a little demanding! From the moment we walked into Urban Tandoor, we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful atmosphere and warm hospitality.
Then we saw Rumali Roti on the menu -- something that is surprisingly difficult to find at Indian restaurants in the U.S. -- and immediately knew we had to try it.
For dinner, we ordered the Seekh Kebab, Rumali Roti, and Dal Makhani, and everything was excellent. The flavors were authentic, well balanced, and genuinely reminded us of food back home in India. Our server, Aaryaa, was incredibly pleasant and made the entire experience even better.
We enjoyed the food so much that we actually came back the very next day for lunch! This time we ordered the Tandoori Platter, another Seekh Kebab, and of course, more Rumali Roti. When you're visiting a city for only a short time and choose to eat at the same restaurant twice, that probably says everything!
On our second visit, Dev took great care of us. He was welcoming, personable, and genuinely enjoyable to talk to. Thank you, Dev, for the wonderful hospitality.
Urban Tandoor gave us something we weren't necessarily expecting to find while traveling through Colorado Springs: authentic Indian flavors that brought back memories of Delhi.
Great food, great atmosphere, and even better hospitality. Absolutely worth the visit -- and clearly, for us, worth visiting twice!
