Goat vindaloo is particularly tasty as is the vegetable korma with a really well done garlic naan. (Ask for Indian spiciness -- not Jersey spiciness if you want the real deal).

Someone call the EPA, because there's been an oil spill in the Hackensack area and it seems like…read moresome of it seeped into Tandoori Chef's kitchen. I ordered the daal fry but one look at it made me think "daal cry". Because I was sad that I spent so much money on this ecological disaster. The yellow colored daal sat in a bowl, drowning in what looked like about a 1/4 cup of reddish cooking oil. If John D. Rockefeller ordered this, he'd be dancing in the streets because of this discovery. Pouring out the oil, in order to the get to the bottom of the greasy ocean, to dig for daal wasn't on my bingo card. And it shouldn't be on anyone else's bingo card. I can't comment on other items on the menu. But I'm hoping they were protected from the spill. You can always make daal fry at home I guess. But if you order it from the Tandoori Chef, be sure to bring your scuba gear. You're gonna need it.

I had such a great experience at Simmi's Table in Hawthorne! This place is like a Chipotle style…read moreexperience but with delicious Indian cuisine. You get to build your own bowl by choosing your entree, toppings, and chutney flavors, which makes it a fun way to customize your meal and try different combinations. One of my favorite things is that the entrees change every week, so there's always something new to try. It's perfect for anyone who enjoys exploring different flavors and trying new dishes. The portion size was very generous, especially for $16. The owner was incredibly kind, welcoming, and took the time to explain the concept and share that they also offer meal prep options, which is a great addition for anyone looking for convenient and flavorful meals. The restaurant itself was clean, inviting, and had a great atmosphere. I love seeing unique food concepts like this come to the area, and I'm excited to come back and see what they have next week!

The options were balanced and the cost was good for the portions we got. Simmi herself was behind the stove cooking and greeted us after she completed our order. Her sweet husband provided thoughtful service with easy explanations of the process. The shop is small and good for a quick, casual bite, with table and counter seating. My only complaint is that i'm not from the area and can't eat there again!

1 star -- Extremely disappointing and not worth the money…read more This place has completely gone downhill. The portion sizes have become a joke--tiny quantities for premium prices. You leave feeling like you barely got anything for what you paid. A restaurant that once seemed worth the price has now turned into a place where you pay more and get less. The quality has dropped significantly as well. The most disappointing part is that they are now serving store-bought items and passing them off as freshly made. We ordered kulcha, and it was obvious that it was not made in-house. This was not just one bad experience--it's the third time we've faced the same issues. We gave them multiple chances, hoping it was a one-time problem, but clearly this is the new standard. Overpriced, disappointing portions, declining quality, and no authenticity. Save your money and go somewhere that actually values its customers. We will never be returning.

That was a sophisticated quiet lounge space with chill modern music and dark lighting and a host that was professional and effective. the food was incredible. however despite the sign in the window now, this isn't tashan. Gone is the calm and conducive atmosphere and now it's brightly lit, vibrating at times with loud Indian music and not the same. My last 45 minutes spent there had a host or manager basically yelling into the phone in the dining area 10 feet from me so loudly that the kindly waiter volunteered an apology because they were catering the next day. i actually had said nothing but that's how loud this guy was on the phone. i was the only diner. on a saturday night. All of these while mildly unpleasant details aren't why i'm not returning. it was the food. tashan's chicken tikka marsala had huge succulent cubes of chicken and quite a few immersed in a creamy incredible sauce. Now? Half the portion with six or seven stringy chunks of chicken in bland sauce. the enormous saddle size Naan of Tashan? Now it's the same size but this bread was lukewarm, flat, thin and bland. Samosas? Also not very tasty and were doughy. And the mango lassi with a thin cardboard straw took forever to suck out of the cup as it was medicine thick but was ok i guess. it saddens me to know an eatery that was so top notch is gone.

We already knew it'd be good the second we stepped in and noticed: (1) nearly all of the tables…read morewere full, and (2) every other diner besides us was Indian. We went with our go-to Indian favorites - chicken tikka masala and chana masala. The pieces of chicken in the tikka masala were a little dry, but oh, that sauce. It was creamy and flavor-packed, so much that I let my spoon scrape unapologetically against the bottom in my attempts to get every last drop. The chana masala was decent, with a respectable spice heat. The best part of our order, surprisingly, was the malabar paratha. We randomly ordered it instead of our usual naan, and that turned out to be a meal-changing decision. It's as if naan and croissants mated and had this deliciously flaky bread baby. Eating it left shattered pieces of paratha all over our table, and damned if we weren't trying to eat the crumbs. The menu boasts lunch specials, but when we went on a Sunday, our server explained that the special of the day was a banana leaf platter with various soups, curries, and rice. We weren't daring enough to order it, but it must have been good because it was on everyone else's table. I also noticed the server came by to refill the curries, which signals a possible 'bottomless' dish. Service was friendly but a little distractive. It seemed like there were only two waitstaff serving the whole dining space (while also seating new and incoming customers), which meant our server's attention was pulled in lots of different directions as he took our order and answered a few questions we had. Communication was also a little choppy as it seemed we had a hard time understanding each other. That said, his overall demeanor seemed warm, and he was good about checking in on us throughout the meal. There's a small parking lot in the back, along with limited (free) street parking available along the road.
