The butter chicken is rich, creamy and full of flavor -- exactly the kind of comfort food you start thinking about when you haven't had it in a while! The cashew chicken is another favorite and a nice change when I want something a little different. Both dishes have so much flavor without being overwhelming. Indian food is one of those cuisines where the spices and sauces really make the meal, and Tandoor does a great job with both. Everything tastes freshly prepared, flavorful and satisfying. If you're new to Indian food and aren't quite sure what to order, I think the butter chicken is a great place to start. And if you already love Indian food, definitely give the cashew chicken a try. I know I'll be ordering both again!

Could have used a little more as I left hungry even after a spring roll appetizer. The rolls were pretty good too. Make sure to add Naan bread for a good trifecta. Things to focus on for five stars: 1) torn up advertising flag at front corner. How does management show arrive for work each day and not recognize this? 2) garden area outside front entrance needs attention. Fountain not working, weeds. These things may deter first time visitors from coming inside. 3) need more rice with the curry dishes.

On my quest to try another Indian restaurant, I found myself in the neighborhood and decided to…read moregive Naans Indian Bar and Grill a try. Hidden back behind another restaurant. It's housed in a former Wendy's restaurant, and I can see why it closed. It had no visibility. The tiny signs on the building for Naans were not legible so unless you knew the restaurant, people just drive by and think it's abandoned. We arrived 30-minutes after opening and there were 2 cars in the parking lot. My first thought was they must do a great takeout. Entering the restaurant, it was nothing fancy. I'm more interested in the food, flavors, and service. The server/hostess was pleasant, but not at all attentive or checked up on us once. I ordered the garlic naan and chicken tikki Marsala. My partner asked which items are vegan, she really didn't know. At Rasoi in Ybor, the server was asked the same question and she immediately pointed out all the vegan items. There were at least eight dishes that were vegan. Only having one choice and waited 15 minutes to order, we were stuck and he ordered the Dal Tudka. The meals were delicious. The sauces and medium spices were perfect in both meals. The garlic naan was perfect for dipping. I liked the chicken was cut into cubes and didn't require a knife. And, the prices were so reasonable for the amount of food you received. My letdowns were the reason for only 3 stars. They had 8 different guests order takeout. The only customer in there when we arrived ordered by phone and waited 30 additional minutes. He said to the owner he left his house 20 minutes after placing his ordering. There were additional wait times for 7 of the 8 people who called in takeout orders. Our wait time was equally long. There seemed to be ample help in the back from where I was sitting. We were in the restaurant for 65 minutes from the time we walked in until the time we left. Nothing screamed ambience, experience, as well as so few orders for this to occur. One of my biggest letdowns in any sit down restaurant, other than a fast food restaurant is bottled drinks. I like water served in a glass, with ice, a straw, and refills. I'd like to say I would give them another chance, but my partner was hellbent not returning due to the 1 vegan option and service. It's a shame such wonderful flavors were overshadowed by less than great service and extensive wait times for us and the guests who ordered takeout.

The chicken I wish was a little more tender but still good. I also got a Mango Lassi to clear my palette which was so smooth. Definitely would get it again.

Let's just say the restaurant and I both looked a little tired. Then the food arrived quickly. The butter chicken? Ridiculously good: creamy and fragrant. The biryani? Flavor bomb. The naan?

Everything tasted excellent....despite the oil didn't just sit on the plate, it could have filed for joint custody of my digestive system. By the end I was stuffed, happy, and slightly shiny,

The chicken biryani, butter chicken, egg curry, naan, and samosas were all out of this world. Everything is fresh, cooked to order, generously portioned, and spiced exactly to your liking. The kitchen team's roots trace back to Mumbai's legendary Taj Hotel, and that culinary pedigree comes through in every dish. The service was simply perfect--warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. There's also a small counter if you'd like to enjoy your meal onsite. As an unexpected bonus, I had a great time browsing the grocery side's eclectic and fairly priced wine selection while my food was being prepared. Saffron Express is far more than a takeout spot--it is a true culinary destination and easily one of Tampa's best hidden gems. I will absolutely be back.

It was well packaged, and it was absolutely delicious! I ordered the chole bhatura and the butter chicken bowl. The butter chicken bowl came with rice, the chole bhatura did not (but of course it came with its fried bread). Both dishes were very good, but the chole bhatura was better. In fact, my very picky daughter ended up eating a bunch of it, and she has previously refused to try Indian food! I'll happily return for more delicious takeout Indian food.

It started as a small counter in the back of the store serving limited weekend specials. Now, there's a restaurant with a full menu and lots of booth seating. The menu has just about everything including an amazing variety of dosa. It's just not something that you see every day in this area. The ordering process is simple. Just place your order at the restaurant counter in the back of the store. No one was there initially as they were receiving deliveries and putting together take-out orders. There's a note to ring the bell since they're all multi-tasking. It didn't take long to place my order. The service was great! The young lady at the counter was very thorough & helpful. She asked if I wanted it crispy and made sure I was good on the potato masala filling. It appears to be customizable if not. A bottle of tap water is served to you when dining in so there's no need to purchase bottled water. The wait wasn't too long. I'd say about 15 to 20 minutes for a freshly made Cheese Masala Dosa. I was a little overwhelmed with the size of it. I thought it would be smaller. It's also served with 2 different chutneys and a side of sambar (South Indian Stew). It was my first experience with this type of street food, and it won't be my last. It was so deliciously cheesy, buttery, and flavorful. The filling inside was plentiful. So much so, that I could only eat a quarter of it for lunch. The rest went home with me. It reheated up beautifully for dinner. My husband enjoyed it with me. The sambar was also very tasty. I suppose you could dip the dosa into it as well, but we just had it as is. I definitely want to go back to try a plain or podi dosa just for comparison. Although, the rich cheese and potato masala really elevates it. Fantastic! I really wanted to give it a 5 star review. The value & quality of the food as well as the service all make it 5 stars. It's the ambiance of dining in a working grocery store that kind of brings it down. You're going to see carts being pushed past you to get to other parts of store. The air conditioning suffers as well while staff are receiving regular deliveries throughout the day. It was a little warm, but tolerable. I visited during the standard lunch hours. Perhaps an evening dine-in experience is calmer. It's nothing that will keep me away. I will definitely return again whenever I'm in this area.
