I had a very pleasant lunch here with my parents. Our server was very kind, and gave good food recommendations. We ordered the butter chicken, saag paneer, chicken biryani, and garlic naan. Everything was delicious. The chicken in both dishes were tender and well seasoned. The biryani had fried shallots, which added an extra layer of crunch and a hint of sweetness. I can't wait to come back and try their samosas and tandoori chicken. read more

Was deciding on what to have for dinner tonight and Indian cuisine immediately came to mind. Tandoor has been a local fave of ours for quite some time so the decision was fairly easy. I had a craving for goat so I ordered the goat curry (medium spice) and my wife ordered the chicken korma. The goat was so tender and flavorful and they gave so much meat that I actually had leftovers (which almost never happens)! Also, just a tip: that medium spiciness has a kick! We also ordered the Nepalese chicken momo dumplings which were also very good. We ended the meal with my favorite Indian dessert, gulab jamun. They were swimming in sweet syrup and I enjoyed every bite! Great food and amazing service! read more

Local gem!!! Went yesterday afternoon and dined-in for a change. Our server was amazing and attentive, making sure we were happy with our seat and food. We ordered the tikka fries, chicken chow mein, tikka masala, and naan and basmati rice of course. Everything was delicious and we left full and happy. I highly recommend. read more

Loved their Chicken Saag! Will go back! Will also try the other spots around them! Yum yum

Chicken Tandoori would have been good if the chicken had actually been cooked in the sauce. The sauce was great but the chicken was unsliced and not tender. It was as if steamed, unseasoned chicken was thawed and dumped into the sauce and merely put in the to-go container. The vegetable pakora was good but the chicken was the reason i ordered the food. Trader Joe's frozen Tandoori Chicken is better than what i was served last night so crossing them off my list completely. Incredibly disappointed. read more

Amazing orange aroma curry. I love this Indian food. It's a new cuisine for me. That orange sauce with all the aromas coming out has the most flavorful and tasty and juicy chicken ever coming in assorted shapes and sizes. The red chicken on the bone is great too. . The place is super beautiful with a breathtaking view of the shopping plaza. Must come again. The people were so so friendly and I can't get enough of this place. Go check it out for yourself!!!! read more

THEY ARE OPEN FOR LUNCH SERVICE!!! I was so excited to hear this because my coworker tried to take me here for lunch one day and they shut down the lunch hours due to the pandemic. The owners are so wonderfully humble and kind!! Personal service and very attentive! The appetizers were amazing!! Perfect Garlic naan!! Vindaloo and Korma were phenomenally fresh!! The dining capacity is HUGE, very clean, but needs lunch goers to fill them seats!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TANDOOR FOR LUNCH!!! read more

When they first opened, this was our go to place for Nepalese/Punjabi cuisine. Nice balance of spices, aromatic, and servicing sizes that more than we could finish in a single sitting. I personally like the lamb curry as there's the meat is cooked with a toothsome texture, something I can bite into, although my wife would disagree, she likes lamb to fall easily apart. If you're able to get a table along the back window, there's pretty good views extending all the way out to San Pablo Bay. Decor is nice and it's a pretty nice ambience altogether. Wait service is top notch, someone was checking in on us, but in a way it's not intrusive, nor to a point we're looking around for someone to wave over. Over the years, several other Punjabi restaurants have opened closer to us on San Pablo Dam Rd, and we haven't visited in a while. We were in the neighborhood and wife was craving South Asian cuisine and opted for lunch. It was nice to rediscover why we came so often in the past. Great place to eat, it was 5 out of 5 stars for us. read more

Chicken Tikka Masala: super good and yummy! No complaints. I got mild spice and it wasn't spicy at all. It was actually more on the sweet side but still tasted really good. Make sure to order with rice or garlic naan. I got the garlic naan and it fit perfectly with the tikka masala. My friend got the chicken biryani middle spice and it also wasn't that spicy. We do have higher spice tolerances though. We came at lunch time when they were closing in an hour to get ready for dinner. The server was so polite and helpful! He recommended us food, constantly checked on us, and checked that the spice level of the food too. He was very attentive to any water/napkin needs! The ambiance is a great place to go for both dinner and lunch. I definitely recommend going for dinner and it's a nice dinner date spot too! The decorations also match the vibe for a cute dinner date night. read more

Food: 4/5 Delicious as always. Chicken momo is cooked well, chicken tandoor comes out sizzling hot, and the garlic naan was flavorful. Service: 5/5 The host is very attentive and helpful. Ambiance: 4/5 I have previously only picked up food to go from here but it was a pleasant dine-in experience. I loved the artwork in the women's bathroom. The restaurant was otherwise quite empty early evening time. read more

The food here is absolutely amazing, I eat here for about six meals a week since I discovered it. Chicken Korma, butter chicken, chili chicken, chicken saag, saag paneer, Chana Gobi, butter naan and brown rice have yet to upset. I order everything spicy and it takes all of my will to stop eating. Hope this is helpful. read more

Came late on a Wednesday to have dinner and we were graciously welcomed in and serviced. Inside was spacious and clean, with Indian music playing. Menu had some vegan options - since it was my partner's birthday, we were going to have an all vegan meal. We had an Indian friend with us and he noted to the server to make the dishes "desi", which was the authentic way to indicate that we wanted the "Indian spicy." The most flavorful (and super spicy!) Dahl lentil dishes and Chana masala arrived in beautiful traditional serving bowls. The rice and garlic naan arrived shortly after- I'm a sucker for garlic naan and it didn't disappoint! Everything tasted delicious and even our Indian friend said the place was legit. My vegan partner also loved it and we even had enough leftovers for a snack the next day. Would definitely return to try the rest of the menu and glad that Pinole has some quality Indian spots! read more

so inconsistent with the food. There have been times when i call the restaurant to appreciate how good the food is and then this last night. The Dal makhani looked horrific. I asked that the butter chicken be made for a kid not my entire order. Very disappointed. read more

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for quite a while now. We came in on Wednesday evening about 45 minutes before closing. We were seated right away and the server was very nice. We were the only ones in the restaurant and this time. We had Samosas-we ate them too quickly to get pictures :( they were very good. We ordered nan bread so fresh and delicious. Butter chicken which I had never had before but t was delicious I will definitely be having more. Tandoori chicken was very good too. Rice was also good. I will definitely be back read more

Got this last night after another place was closed early. The food was not good - the paneer was super rubbery, the rice was hard like it sat out a long time, and the naan was soggy. Waste of money I regret spending. Wont be back here read more

We got there early so had a nice table with a view. I had the chicken coconut curry. It was good, but since I've never ordered that dish at other restaurants, I don't have a basis for comparison. I give the wait staff appreciation for checking on us frequently, but it got to a point where they(2 different waitresses) were checking on us so frequently that it killed the vibe with my date. They kept coming to the table to clear my plate before I had actually finished, like they were in a hurry, even though there were plenty of empty tables. Pro tip: There is a delicate balance between too attentive and not attentive enough. read more

I have been craving Indian food for a while now and a friend mentioned this restaurant and was telling me how good the food was here. So, I decided to order from here after work. I ordered online and food was here quickly. Everything was freshly made. Here is my experience here. Chicken tikka masala: 5/5 stars One of the best Tikka Masala that I have ever had. The spices that they used, the creaminess of the sauce and the flavor of everything together was EXCEPTIONAL. Also, I love that they do not skimp on their chicken. They put a good amount of chicken in this dish, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. Naan bread: 5/5 stars I ordered two different kinds of their naan bread. The garlic one and the cheese stuffed one. The garlic was by far my favorite one, it was so good dipped in the tikka masala sauce. The cheese stuffed one was also very good too. Lamb biryani: 4/5 stars I LOVE lamb and love biryani and have actually tried lamb biryani at another restaurant in the past. I must be honest, I did like the lamb biryani from the other restaurant a little more than this one.... But the lamb biryani here was pretty good. The flavor of the rice with all the spices was so delicious and the lamb was very flavorful as well. Samosas: 1/5 stars... I have tried samosas at another Indian restaurant and they were delicious. Sadly, I did not enjoy the samosas here and probably wouldn't order them again. Sauces: I received three different sauces with my order. Two of them were for the samosas, the tamarind sauce and another green sauce.... I believe the third sauce was a yogurt sauce, it also had some chunks of cucumber in it. I wasn't really a fan of either sauces. My favorite part of the meal: My two favorite things was the garlic naan and the Chicken tikka masala. Both of them together was exceptional and was like a flavor party in my mouth. Overall: 4/5 stars I can't wait to try their food again and maybe try different menu items next time. The chicken tikka masala and naan are definitely a must. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others who love Indian food and are open to trying different culture foods. I'm sure this restaurant will not disappoint. Sidenote: I ordered for a second time today and did pickup. The guy working in the front was very nice and friendly. This review is in regards to my order two days ago. read more

Great food, great service! One of my favorite spots in the area for sure, if you're in the area and have a hankering I'd try it

Hands-down, the BEST place to get your Indian/Napalese fix. Their customer service is extremely friendly, kind every single time. They have never ran out of any items on their menu, and the flavor of each dish every single visit is CONSISTENTLY FRESH, FLAVORFUL, and great portion. Never bland! We used to visit another Indian place in the area, but this place officially has our heart for the past 3 months. We plan to come here for as long as we can now that we live in the area. Their chai tea is so yummy. They also have lots of sugar-free packets. Chicken tikka Marsala, Chana Marsala, and their Baingan Bharta is our usual. Aloo gabi is yummy as well. Please check this little gem out when you're in town. read more

The food was delicious and will definitely order again soon. Even though we couldn't eat inside we still enjoyed

Delicious!! I just wish they had a bit more on their menu to explore. Don't forget to ask for tamarind & mint. read more

Clean and very good customer service. Hidden gem food is delicious! Very reasonable pricing.

I go there at least twice a week now. Their tandoor chicken, chicken tikka masala, and rice pudding are exceptional. The goat curry is awesome and is the same incredible quality as the best "curry goat" I grew up on in Jamaica (where it's practically the national dish). The service is highly efficient and these are genuinely nice people. The table spacing is generous and the place is always spic-and-span clean. Really an exceptional south Asian restaurant. read more

I can't believe I haven't left a review for this place! My friends and I used to come here every other week after work to treat ourselves with this delicious food! They have all around very yummy food! Everything from the appetizers to the naan to the main dishes. My favorite thing about Tandoor is their chai!!!!! It's sooo good and makes you feel all warm at the first sip. I'm so sad that they aren't offering their chai during Covid though. read more

We were excited to try this place after reading all the good reviews on Yelp. We ordered food for take-out. The staff who I spoke with over the phone was really friendly and seemed really appreciative. We ordered the shrimp tandoori, coconut lamb curry, garlic basil naan, and vegetable samosas. The food was delicious and so full of flavor! The portions were also generous. The tandoori came with more shrimp than I was expecting and the lamb curry had a generous serving of meat. I'm so glad we tried this place and we can't wait to try more items on their menu! read more

Once again, my wife and I ventured out to try a new place. Tandoor Restaurant has both Indian and Nepalese dishes. When we walked in, we immediately liked the quiet and elegant atmosphere. Lots of windows and light here! The menu has a good variety, and the prices are very reasonable. The servers are polite, and quick to bring anything you ask for. When we got our order, we were delighted with the flavors each of these dishes. You could actually identify individual herbs and spices with each bite. The naan is fresh and delicious (my wife's favorite), and the masala sauce is amazing. We will definitely be coming back here, and next time we will try some of the Nepalese cuisine they have to offer as well. Thanks for reading! read more

I stand by my review! Solid solid Indian and Himalayan food. I LOVE the veggie biryani rice..sometimes it can be a little spicy. My hubby really likes the tandoori chicken, but the last time he got some weird bone fragments probably from chopping the chicken legs with a cleaver or something. I love the butter chicken and wish they gave a slightly bigger portion. I eat it with the biryani rice. We got chicken Momo's, and they were a little plain. The sauce makes them a little better, but I dunno if I'd get them again. I like the samosas too, the last batch was kinda spicy too, yum!! read more
