Vegetable samosas!
Darien C.

Highly, HIGHLY recommend Tandoor Indian Restaurant if you're looking for tasty Indian cuisine in the area! My family and I arrived early and waited for them to open for dinner service. Surprisingly there was another family that were seated before us even though we only arrived maybe 5-10 minutes after they opened. That was a good sign to me that maybe they're a decent spot. Our server (forgot his name) was very attentive and made sure to come and check on us often. Although, I will say it was a little difficult to understand what he was saying at times since he had a thick accent. But we managed. The food was definitely 5 star for us. My husband and I ordered the vegetable samosas, chicken tiki masala and garlic naan to share for our dinner. Everything was delicious and piping hot from the kitchen. We got medium spice on our curry and it had just the right amount of kick to it. The only negative I will mention is that it was pretty warm in the restaurant. But that may be because we arrived almost right as they opened so maybe the AC was still kicking in. Other than that everything else during our experience, food and service, was five star! Will definitely be back for more!

This is one of my personal favorite restaurants. The people who work here are incredibly nice and the food is delicious! I'm a chicken tikka masala lover and they do it very well! The vegetable samosas are so yummy. The sauce makes them, in my opinion. They also do takeout!

Lunch buffet

Quit little place, service 7 out of 10, food quality 9 out of 10, miss the buffet they once had. Chicken Korma and Lamb Rogan Josh served with Jasmine rice was terrific. Had to ask for silver ware 3 times be for I received. Plenty of food yummy

The food is absolutely amazing and has so much flavor. We got the chicken Tikka masala and the chicken patia. Both dishes were so delicious and flavorful. We also got the garlic pitta and onion pitta and those were so delicous! The staff was great and very attentive and friendly. The love the atmosphere.

Mixed Grill

The Mixed Grill. This was a great choice. The chicken was nice and tender. Juicy and delicious. It came with rice and bread. It look like they use to offer buffet. If you're Looking for good authentic Indian food, this is it. It's located in the same plaza as Chophouse.

Chicken Chilly Fry

When it comes to Indian food people usually like it or don't. So if you are a fan of Indian food you should definitely check this place out. If you are asking what kind of Indian food then this is North Indian food. The most common on people love is the butter chicken, but there are so many other dishes too! People often ask me what to get at Indian restaurants, so i give them the most random options and then do love it. So here are my few that I tried. We got Chilli chicken which has an Asian twist, so it will taste a lil different when compared to you normal dishes and it's not a curry. If you like grilled chicken you will like this twist of that for sure. Then we got Malai Kofta which is a vegetarian dish. It has these balls made of potato and paneer(Indian cheese) which is deep fried in a gravy. The gravy is similar to butter chicken. Then we got 3 diff types of naan! I do recommend the keema naan! It's really good! Keema is mincemeat (goat). The ambiance is really nice and the staff was very attentive. We have been coming here for a while. If you can tolerate spicy food then ask for medium or else stick to mild. We got medium the first time and it packed a punch. The price is really good as well. There are a few other Indian restaurants around mboro and this one is my favorite. So definitely do check it out!

Holy Deliciousness! What an experience. Everything was filled with flavor. We shared all the things. Don't be in a hurry. My favorite was the lamb. Samosa Vegetable Aloo Tikki Lamb Mango Chicken Tikka Masala Chicken Tandoori So good!

Danys C.

I was surprised by this place!! They were very busy and only had to servers but the food was fast and the servers were very attentive. The food was really good! We tried the chicken curry and one more thing I don't remember the name but it was a mango chicken. They were both delicious! We also tried a mango drink! It was so good and sweet and creamy. I will definitely want to go back and try more from the menu.

Garlic naan

The food is delicious in this quiet little spot. You have a choice of how hot you want most items, and I do not eat spicy, so the fact that I absolutely love this place should tell you something lol. The service here is sometimes a little slow but they are always very nice. I highly recommend the chicken tikka masala.

Chicken Tikka Masala
Ali H.

The curry sauce is like butter. It literally melts in your mouth, and the spices are absolutely impossible to replicate. This is the best curry I've had in a long time, and it has certainly reminded me of why I love great Indian Food; it reminded me that food should be an experience. This was nothing short of exceptional. And the portions are huge, so I was able to save half for dinner the next day. If you're a college student looking for quality food in large quantities, this is definitely your place. The atmosphere is also worth mentioning. Very romantic and calm, all while still holding a lot of life and happiness.

Chicken Pakora appetizer
Adam R.

I just want to go on and hammer this out while it's fresh in my memories. The wife and I stopped in after wanting to find another go-to Indian place, because we missed out on their absolutely delicious foods for the first 30 years of our life... "Uncultured swine" We Yelped several places and Tandoor got good reviews, so we gave them a shot. I am SO glad we did. The service was very friendly and welcoming, the wait was next to nothing for the exorbitant amount of food we ordered, and every single bite was flavorful, fresh, expertly prepared, and seasoned Oh-So well! We ordered the Chicken Pakora appetizer. It was very good chicken bites served with two excellent dipping sauces. One was a brown, more oily dish, with excellent flavors and spices (not hot). The other dip was a green, floral tasting excellent dip that I actually liked very much. Unfortunately I waited until the very last piece of chicken to mix the two dips together on the same bite and man, was that great too?! Then on to our entrees! To the table arrived our standard Chicken Tikka Masala (in medium, or 3 of 6 spiciness), which was SUPERB! The seasonings and flavor of the creamy sauce paired so well with the deliciously prepared, tender, juicy chicken bites within. Yurm. We also got the Chicken Vindaloo, in a spicier mix (4 out of 6 heat level). It was also extremely delicious and flavorful with an ever so slightly spicier tongue-feel. It came in a darker, red sauce where the Tikka came in a more orange/yellow sauce. Both were topped with fresh cilantro and were SO good. If you're a spice head like me, neither were very hot. They definitely had a bit of heat, but nothing too bad. Oddly enough, the spiciest thing we ate all night was the Vegetable Biryani rice. But it was SO GOOD. The BEST addition. The single best Indian rice dish we've had anywhere! They seasoned up the rice super well, so it was not your typical white rice, but threw in the whole garden! There was onion, peas, green beans, corn, cauliflower, mushrooms (tho not many), carrots, and somehow, I think a chunk of tofu also made its way in. We also had the chicken naan and the garlic naan. BOTH were absolutely delicious! We left so full and happy and can't wait to go again! Well done, Tandoor!!

I don't think it's *that* controversial to say that the offerings are better (and more consistent) than Nashville. So, I shouldn't have been surprised to get some excellent Indian food in Rutherford County. What made me take extra notice was that the quality didn't dip at all from the restaurant to eating it in my friends' home. The beginning of summer had lured me southeast of town to hang out with some dear friends. Being that the temps had already gotten well above comfortable, we decided to hang out at home with a good meal. They're both vegetarians but promised me that this spot had the real deal flavor/season combo. I looked over the menu, opted for a variant of my go-to and waited for my tastebuds to be dazzled. My friend returned from picking up the food and I smelled it as soon as he walked through the door. 'Gimmegimmegimme,' was all I could think and say. I went with the namesake Ugadi Chicken Curry and when I tell you it woke me up in all respects, I'm not giving it enough credit. This fiery (in color and flavor) curry was andhra-forward and absolutely delicious. The curry wasn't just a vehicle for the (juicy, nicely-sized and generous-amounted) chicken. It was a star in and of itself. I topped the fragrant basmati rice with the meat/sauce and every bite was a sheer delight. Truly. It's not a given that restaurant food stands up to travel and home plating but Ugadi did and does. I'm glad I was feeling lucky because I paired the food with a mango lassi. I know it's a bit basic but mango is in the poison ivy family so I mess with it very rarely. I didn't break out and enjoyed my cool treat. I'll have to experience the goodness in-house next time... but being able to collapse to the couch from the table was a plus I didn't see coming.

There is another Clay pit on NW Broad, by the same family, but completely different. This restaurant on Memorial specializes in Street Food! Street Food? Yes, Indian Street Food. Not only has the menu and dining concept changed, they remodeled the inside. Since Street Food in an Indian restaurant was new to me, I am going to focus my review on the food. Go there. We went for my wife's birthday and our entire party was happy. She ordered the Poutine. Wait, what?! Isn't poutine a CANADIAN traditional dish. Yes, but this was a great fusion food. She considers herself a poutine fancier. And, she loved it. Traditional poutine is an order of French Fries, with cheese curds and brown gravy. This was like it, but different. The first thing she noticed was that the fries themselves were seasoned with Tika seasoning, and so was the entire dish. There was enough to feed two, and she totally enjoyed it. They used paneer instead of cheese and she lauded it as wonderful. My youngest adult son got the Clay Pit Special Bhaji Pav. Don't worry neither he or I ever heard of it, but based on the server's recommendation and his gastronomic curiosity, he went for it. It is traditional in Mumbai (I just researched it to figure out what it is) Quoting a website, "The recipe is an amalgamation of vegetables spiced with a unique blend of spices known as pav bhaji masala and served with a soft bread roll aka pav." It was served with chopped red onion. He hates red onion and just left it out. Peas, potato and wonderful unique spices make up this stew like dish, served with traditional bread. I also took the server's recommendation in blind trust for my selection, Samosa Chaat. Just looking at the portion size that was presented, I proclaimed that this was a dish for a family of four. I was not far off as we took more than half of it home. Again, I have to turn to the internet to find out exactly what was in this wonderful dish. Again, the internet comes to my rescue. "Chaat is a broad term used for all Indian street food. It's mostly spicy, tangy and topped with yogurt and chutneys. ..has layers of chickpea curry and crunchy samosa". Sure. What is Samosa? "Samosas are savory pastries served as a snack or as appetizers. They are stuffed with lightly spiced potato and deep-fried until crispy and golden." Oh. This dish had them under the stew, not separate and I loved it. Our other two diners were not as adventurous. The both ordered wraps, one was Schezwan Paneer and Chicken creation. Yes, Schezwan, the food from China is incorporated here. Evidently, there is a lot of cross over between Chinese and Indian food. Second of the wraps ordered was the Chicken Egg. So if you are adventurous, go there. If you are not, go there anyway. You can enjoy "safer" wraps, rice or noodle dishes, wings, and one I've not heard of yet - Chinese Curry. I'll be back. It is walking distance. You get in a car and drive here.
