Had dinner at Tandoor recently and really enjoyed it. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was clean 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. read more

Came with a friend who wanted to treat me to her favorite native foods in the area, and left full and happy! She ordered me a mango lassi and we split a garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, paratha, and a mixed grill platter with chicken malai, paneer tikka, and I *think* beef bihari. The paneer was a bit salty, but good. The breads were just ok, but everything else was amazing. I ESPECIALLY loved the beef bihari and chicken malai and brought the leftovers home for my husband, who already says we're coming back for takeout. So good. The one thing I will say is that even the "hot" level of spice was pretty mild for what I expected, so if you can handle heat at all, don't shy away from going all in. read more

Tandoor probably has the best Punjabi food in the Austin area. It is very home-style and delicious. The space is very kid-friendly too. The restrooms are very clean, which is nice to see as well. The aloo chole halwa puri weekend lunch special is great. If you are Punjabi, you'll find it tastes just like home. I appreciate that they do not add extra oil or cream to their food like some restaurants do. It's simple and homestyle. read more

Excellent Punjabi food. Wish they gave water in glasses and didn't make you pay for a bottle of Kirkland's finest. Otherwise, just ridiculously good. read more

Came here for lunch on a Saturday early in the afternoon. We had no wait time and less than half the tables were full for the duration of our visit. The service was pretty slow given the number of employees and patrons, it took a solid 15m after we were seated for anyone to come by. We weren't in a rush so it didn't bother us too much, but thought it was noticeable enough to ding the experience a little I suggested this spot specifically because of the beef nihari and it did not disappoint! The curry was savory and super flavorful. Usually I expect the protein to not be anything special in a curry dish but the beef was fall apart in your mouth melty and delicious. The naan was also very good, just the right mix of softness and some burnt bits. I had their sooji halwa for desert and thought it was tasty, i appreciate that they didn't make it a sugar bomb, though I thought it could have some more coconut or incorporated other nuts or dried fruit Overall I think this spot is well worth checking out for beef nihari alone, but i definitely expect to be back to try some other dishes from their menu read more

One of the first times I've had Pakistani food and it was good! The atmosphere set a great vibe and service was pretty quick. Our waitress was super helpful in explaining the menu and giving recommendations. We got a paprika chaat on the house to start off and it was a melange of flavors that had some nice crisp, sweet, creamy, herby and hit a lot of nice notes to wet the appetite. For the main, my friend and I tried the chicken malai boti and the chicken Bihari boti and both were tender and juicy chunks of grilled chicken and onions. I liked the malai better - more herbal and fresh vibes complimented the smoky chicken better. The Bihari wasn't overly spicy but it definitely has a gutteral kick to it. Garlic naan pairs really well or you can get it with a bowl of rice. All in all, unique dining experience for something new that was tasty. More meat forward but they also got curries I'd be down to try out or combo with the grilled meat. read more

Nice food and ambience. Food is amazing and their mutton is good. They serve hot so that's another good thing. read more

This place opened just about 6 months ago. When my husband requested kebabs for his birthday treat, I discovered Tandoor online. We were both highly impressed. My husband ordered the mix platter and the kebabs were tender, well cooked, well flavored, and filling. I, being vegetarian, ordered their weekend special of aloo-Poori-Chana-halwa and had an excellent meal. My family is from Delhi and these flavors reminded me of visiting my grandmother growing up. The service was excellent and the ambiance is so cute. It felt like being in an upscale Dhaba. You have to order the tea while there - what a fun and unique presentation. And also, prices are so reasonable for the quantity and quality they are providing. 5 whole hearted stars and thank you to the owners for providing this excellent experience. read more

This new Pakistani restaurant in Cedar Park offers a lovely ambiance and friendly service. Unique ethnic art, decor and fixtures surround the space. Dishes are presented beautifully - small table burners to keep curries piping hot, lovely chai service for two in a beautiful pot served with parle biscuits, and more. The menu was thoughtfully curated. The food was sadly lacking in my opinion. Chicken Malai Boti was tender but lacked flavor. Beef seekh kabab was overcooked and chewy. Mutton korma was unexpectedly tangy with an overwhelming flavor profile. The silver lining were the generous portion sizes (easily lasts two meals) and reasonable prices. read more

I been wanting to try this Pakistani place for a while now. And I am glad I did. Tucked in a huge shopping center but great corner location easy to find. Ambiance was really good for being a desi restaurant. We ordered Shadi wala mutton, paneer tikka and chicken seekh kababs along with tandoori roti and mango lassi. Everything tasted delicious and the service was really good. I will be back to try more different foods read more

We tried this place on the web and we're not disappointed.

Food was a slam dunk. Came here for Indian food that's healthy. Got white basmati rice and chicken Bihari boti which is bbq and marinated chicken breast chucks. Flavorful and succulent with good tenderness. Along with the chutney supplied to me (I think one is yogurt cilantro and one is tamarind, the meal was scrumptious. Service was quick and professional as well as friendly. Ambiance was relaxed and airy for a weekday lunch. I'll definitely be back! read more

We tried their soft open menu and ordered the Dahi Puri, Chicken Biryani, Mixed Grill Platter, and the obligatory Mango Lassi. The Dahi Puri description mentioned potatoes, but it felt more like chickpeas--either way, they were pretty tasty. Personally, I prefer a different style from another region, but these were enjoyable. The Chicken Biryani was fantastic--Pakistani-style but with potatoes, which really elevated the flavors. As any Bengali will tell you, the potatoes make the biryani and they are not wrong! The Mixed Grill Platter was also well done. My favorite was the Beef Bihari Kabab, with its paste-like texture. The Chicken Malai Boti was soft and creamy, while the Chicken Tikka was marinated as expected. I do wish the platter came with at least two naan or parathas, instead of having to buy them separately. The Mango Lassi was delicious, though I only managed to get one sip before my kid claimed the rest! One suggestion would be to offer more kid-friendly items, as most of the regular menu options are a bit too spicy for the little ones. Price-wise, it came out to around $28 per person with tax and tips. The service was attentive and checked in for feedback throughout the meal, which I appreciated. There's some Instagram-worthy decor giving off a cool chic vibe. I'll definitely be coming back to try other items and, of course, have the biryani again! For those with dietary restrictions, all meats are halal. read more

First time coming to Tandoor after seeing the influencers rave about it. The restaurant serves mainly Pakistan and Northern Indian cuisines. We came at 1pm on Saturday and it wasn't crowded but only had a few tables occupied. The interior was really new and had a nice decor to it. We ordered chai for 2, and it came out in a very traditional way. It also tasted authentic too. For entrees, we ordered the beef nihari curry and grilled platter including beef seekh , tikka chicken and the beef Bihari roll. The curry was spicy, but I think it lacked some spice flavor to it. We did enjoy the beef Bihari roll a lot, it was so tender. As for the beef seekh and tikka chicken, it was a bit dry. Service was accommodating and decent. If we were to come back, we would go for the beef Bihari roll and try out the chicken Bihari roll and chai. Definitely a nice addition to Cedar Park! read more

One of the most difficult decisions for any large event is "Who is making the food?" For us, it was serendipitous....a chance meeting with their catering manager at their resturant...made everything fall into place. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Tandoor's Catering Team for our son's graduation party, and I can confidently say working with them was one of the best decisions we made for the event. From the very beginning, the process was seamless. Communication was clear and responsive, and they made everything incredibly easy from planning to execution. They were willing to customize certain dishes and made sure we were supported through the whole process. (Texting was a preferred method, it kept all asks and methods aligned.) One of the highlights was the tasting session they offered before the event -- a great chance to try out different menu options and fine-tune everything to our liking. It really set the tone for the level of professionalism and attention to detail they bring to their work. Their mango lemonade something i never considered and it was a huge hit! On the day of the event, Tandoor showed up with a full team who handled the entire setup beautifully. Three stations, appetizers, diner and desserts. The chafing dishes, were beautiful. They added their own esthetic to our event. The team didn't just drop off the food -- they created a welcoming and well-organized dining experience that fit perfectly with our celebration. Throughout the evening, their staff kept the food and drinks fully stocked, ensuring no guest ever had to wait or go without. The food itself was exactly what we had discussed -- 8 dishes, hot, tasty and made to specifications we requested. They were full of flavor, beautifully presented, and served at the right temperature... The drink options were just as we had requested, and everything flowed smoothly all night long. Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! And at the end of the evening, Tandoor's team handled all the cleanup, leaving the space just as they found it -- spotless. We didn't have to worry about a thing. They packed everything up for us to take. Thanks to Tandoor, the graduation party was not only stress-free, but a genuinely an amazing, well executed and memorable event. Their professionalism, quality of service, and delicious food made all the difference. I look forward to working with them again.

Good Pakistani food !! We tried their BBQ mixed platter and paneer tikka and loved it. Their lassi and mango mint lemonade is on the sweeter side and could have more flavor than sugar. We also tried their chicken korma and liked the way they serve with small fire pit. Kept it boiling hot for people who love to eat very hot food. Pandu chaat was just okay . Their menu has fewer dishes but we liked what we tried. Overall it was good and I recommend!! read more

It's hard to review a cuisine that I've had so little exposure to, but Tandoor in Cedar Park left a strong impression. If authenticity is any indicator of quality, the fact that we were the only non-brown customers--in a restaurant that was packed by 7 PM on a weekday--is a promising sign. Tips: Ask the staff for recommendations; they're helpful in navigating the menu. Arrive early, as the restaurant fills up quickly. The Food: Mutton Karahi: My personal favorite of the night. It's not a curry but has a bit of a saucy consistency. The spices were well-balanced, offering a depth of flavor without being overly hot. A must-try for anyone visiting Tandoor. Biryani with Aloo: The rice was excellent, perfectly cooked, and flavorful. However, the chicken was a tad dry and not as well-spiced as I'd hoped. In this dish, the rice outshined the chicken. Garlic Naan: A pretty basic naan--not bad, but not particularly impressive. I would've preferred more garlic to enhance the flavor. Beef Nihari: This dish leaned more towards a curry, with a very spicy kick. My wife described it as stew-like, and while flavorful, the heat might be overwhelming for some. Mixed Grill Platter: This was my least favorite. While the meat's texture varied, one of the beef pieces had an overly tender, almost paste-like texture, which wasn't to my taste (nor the rest of our group). The sausage looked a bit too dried out, so I didn't try it. Final Thoughts: Overall, Tandoor delivers wonderful flavors and an authentic dining experience. The dishes have a variety of textures and spice levels, so there's something for everyone. While not every dish was perfect, the highlights like the Mutton Karahi make this a place I'd definitely return to when I'm in the mood for Pakistani cuisine, which shares many similarities with Indian cuisine. read more

This place was PHENOMENAL. I saw some content creators rave about this place on instagram and they weren't lying. My husband and I shared the Mixed Grill Plate and got: chicken tikka, chicken Bihari, and beef Bihari. All of the meat was melt in your mouth and spiced perfectly! The staff were incredibly kind and made suggestions based on what we ordered. It's overall a very quiet restaurant from a noise perspective, but multiple families were dining when we walked in. We will definitely be back! read more

Ordered online for pick up. Got 2 different mix grill platter. Few things to note -- even thought it is two different order they package it together into one container. So be careful when you order and people have certain food allergies or food they do not like cause they seem to pack similar food together. Another thing -- usually at other similar restaurant this would come with rice and sides. Well this does not and it doesn't mention that. So for the same price at other restaurant you are not getting the same value. The chicken was probably the best part of this. As the rest of the meats were very dry and hard to shallow. The restaurant itself is small. The wait staff is still unfamiliar with all the kitchen works from the look of it when I asked the wait staff questions when I picked up my food. read more

This is my first time trying Pakistani cuisine and it was amazing! My friend had recommended this place as the most authentic Pakistani food in Austin. It's a bit far when we actually live in Austin but we made the drive to Ceder Park cause my friend wouldn't stop raving about it. We came on a Tuesday night and there was plenty of seating. We ordered appetizers and entrees in family style so we can all try different things. Everything we tried was amazing and I'm not gonna try to butcher the name of dishes here. My favorite was the mutton curry. So yummy!!! The total came out to be about $35 per person when split among the three of us. I highly recommend this place for anyone who's interested in checking out Pakistani food or just good food in general. read more

Tandoor By Kababeque - What i ran for when i got home... - Indian Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Let me start off by saying that I DO NOT give a 5 star review easily. That being said, we were about 20 minutes out and we called and had the option to put our name on the wait list. When we arrived the seat was just being cleaned for us. In the front we met the owner, Nida, who told us that the restaurant was open for 10 months and recommended the karahi and let us know the biryani was made twice a day. The ambiance and music was nice as well. It was nice to have actual Pakistani music playing. The restrooms were also nice. The women's restroom was stocked with a changing table, wipes, spray, listerine and extra toilet paper. The best part is the fact that they had a Muslim shower which majority of Muslim owned restaurants do not prioritize! Extra points for that. The place was clean and the servers were constantly checking on us. We ordered dhai puri for appetizers, as well as a mango lassi and mango mint for drinks. Both drinks were good. The dhai puri also lived up to its name. For entree we ordered a mixed grill platter with (malai boti, chicken tikka and Bihari boti), biryani, naan, Bihari and mutton karahi. Every thing was exceptional. This is authentic Karachi food, not a mellowed version. If you wanna have less spicy or bland food, move on. The food and flavors literally transported all of us to Karachi. Superb job! The cherry on top was the doodh pathi chai! Please visit if you want an amazing dining experience! I wish I took photos but we were all starving! Gratuity is including in parties of 5 or more. Our bill was 151$ with tip included! read more

The taste of the food and ambiance is good. However for the price of the entrees the quantity seems less. The karahi's are very low on gravy and full of oil. Service is slow, so you don't want to go here for a quick bite. Also the biryani is served without any raita and the chicken karahi without any plain rice. So you need to order the breads. Not worth it for the price. read more

Try the Nihari! It's authentic and amazing! And for the vegetarians the palak paneer and the paneer tikka roll are on point too!

Tried the mixed grill this weekend. And loved it ! It's beef and chicken -- cooked to perfection loved the flavor and it was super tender The service was great -- and I'm always glad to support a family owned business. Bonus - chai was great ! Also I tried the biryani which was amazing ! Hope to be back soon as they are adding more menu items soon. Thanks ! read more

Went to Tandoor By Kababeque on a rainy Saturday night today, and even though there were only two staff members working, the service was still amazing! They managed everything so well. I ordered the mutton karai, which was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The BBQ was also excellent. It was juicy, smoky, and full of taste. Great food, great service, and a warm atmosphere despite the weather. Definitely coming back! My server was very sweet and kind, and made sure everything was perfect. read more

Right amount of spice, not overpowering and not too spicy therefore made the dish very enjoyable. Shahi chicken korma was authentic tasting as well. Kheer and mango lemonade was very good as well. Great ambience and customer service. Would definitely come back with family and friends next time. The way they present the tea is super cute! read more

great food! We really enjoyed it. It's very similar to Bundu Khan Kebab House in Houston (for those who are familiar with the restaurant). The only feedback I have is they don't have chicken sheekh kebab on their menu. I wish they add that. Other than that Great experience. read more

Exceptional food, service, cheffing staff, and presentation. You cannot go wrong with Tandoor's team.

We decided to give Tandoor a try! Firstly the ambience is nice and service is good as well. What not so good is the food! We were expecting more. We ordered some Shaddi wala chicken and mango lassi. The mango lassi came with load of ice. When asked for no ice, it tasted much better. Why have ice in lassi? The chicken gravy was ver oily. The taste was okay, but soo oily. So definitely not trying tandoori again. The menu is also simple and basic. read more
