    Went to try the buffet, got there 10 minutes after opening. Was confused on what the process was. As I was eating I saw a bug crawling in my chicken. My husband then tells me there was a bunch of bugs flying around. We then see a spider crawling down from the ceiling. I was disgusted, never coming back

    Tasty food. All you can eat buffet for $15. I thought were was 25 dishes but I guess it's a random selection of 25 different options. There was about 10-15 things when we went. Everything was delicious but my favorite was the naan. They did bring out more when we finished it but man I could have eaten so much more of that than was provided. I don't have a lot of experience with Indian food but I was glad to try new things I hadn't tried yet. I was sad there wasn't samosas when we went. Would have preferred that over the spring rolls. I also tried the masala chai and it was very flavorful. The place is pretty small and seemingly already popular. There wasn't really any tables available when we first walked it but one was cleared right away. If the mixed curd is there and you're not sure what it is I recommend eating it over rice. It reminded me of a tzatziki and I tried it last, had to go back for more rice and the pakora. That and the pakora were my next favorite things. I will be back if there was a way to tell if the items would be a different variety next time

    I've been waiting for this place to open. So we I heard that they opened I went there for lunch that same day. I heard about their $15 lunch buffet but they also have a great lunch special which is two curries, Naan bread, rice, and a drink for only $10 (take out only). I really hope they keep the lunch special. The service was chill because I went during lunch and you serve yourself. The employee explained everything and that they will give you the Naan bread and the salad. I used to come here when it was Carlito's Chicken. The new owners have done so much and the ambiance is so nice. My food was delicious!!!!!! I couldn't believe the value for my lunch because you really can't get much for $10 these days. Thank you Tandoori Corner for everything!!! I really appreciate you!!!!! I may even go tomorrow.

    Oceanside now has a new Indian food restaurant and it's located inland. These are my experiences for Tandoori Corner. Tandoori Corner is located on Mission Ave, just behind Yum Yum Donuts, where Carlito's Chicken used to be. While this business can't really be considered a "hole in the wall", it is definitely located within an area that is not often traveled by many. The businesses that thrive in this area are the ones that have connected with local community patrons and do not rely on tourist dollars to survive. Tandoori Corner is 2 blocks away from the 76 highway and just off of Mission Ave and this makes it very easily accessible. In addition, just across the way in the 76 Hwy, is the future construction site of Oceanside's first Mega Surf Waterpark. Once complete, this tourist destination will draw attention to all surrounding businesses and this will be good for that area's economy. The only downside is that 3 blocks away, is Brother Benno's (a homeless outreach center), so once you drive in that area, it appears kinda sketchy. But on my 3 visits here, I've never seen an issue with vagrants or felt unsafe in the area. Tandoori Corner is family-owned and specializes in good Indian food at phenomenal pricing. They are the only Indian restaurant in Oceanside that has a Lunch All-You-Can-Eat Buffet with over 25 dishes on rotation for $15. This Lunch Special is from 11:00am to 3:30pm, 7 days a week. There's also a LUNCH COMBO for $10 where you can pack your TO-GO container and grab a drink. It's really such a great deal for those in the area. I've been here 3 times to attend their buffet and I've enjoyed all my dishes ranging from: curry chicken, curry lamb, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, dal makhani, paneer pakora, aloo tikka, chicken karahi, samosas and my favorite gulab jamun (sweet pastry balls). To order, simply walk-in, order at the counter, fill your plate and then enjoy your meal. They also have mango lassi and an assortment of other beverages to enjoy and their menu is growing. After 3:30pm buffet has ended, then you can enjoy dine-in table service. Their service is very attentive & friendly. The interior decor for Tandoori Corner is nice and leans into a modern approach to Indian culture. I like when they have the cultural music playing too. The table arrangements are good for families and groups, with a few spots for couples dining-in. The establishment is clean overall, but I did have to remind them to do bathroom checks, as they had ran out of toilet paper one time. I know that they have just opened and they are working out the kinks in operations. But I can say, that if they can maintain the quality of their food at this level AND keep the prices this low, I believe that Tandoori Corner will do well in Oceanside, especially in our current economy.

    Walking in at 3:15 but buffet closed down and cleaned up .   Sign says open till 3:30
    Stephen L.

    I walked in at 3:15 to order for the buffet. Completely closed down and cleaned up . I asked why do you have a sign that says buffet open til 3:30 . why don't you take down the false advertising sign ? She looked back like , "no my problem ; i only work here " she looked back like the management was hiding behind the door and could hear what i was saying but too cowardly to explain why they would continue to advertise what they no longer have. The way I felt is if they were too cheap to take down an out of date sign ? what else are they too cheap to do ? Maybe they would be too cheap to throw out bad food and serve it to their customers that they don't respect . I mean if they did respect their customers they wouldn't lie to their customers about their hours ? i mean its okay for us to waste our time -- but not their time ? New restaurant ? you think they would try to make a good first impression ? if they don't even care about that ? how could they care about the health of the food they service ?

    We stopped in for Indian food while in Oceanside inland. This is a casual family run spot. Friendly service. We had 1 of the lunch specials: Choice of 2 meats,rice,Naan & a veggie. Tasty food although not warm enough as it was a buffet set up. Would return for made to order food

    Jimmy K.

    Service is fine even though you can barely understand what they are saying. The food is bland and not many choices. We came on Friday lunch. Only 2 chicken and 2 veg. No lamb or goat. They said it's too expensive to provide those. Either way for $15/person it's average. Again, the food is bland and not spicy. I mean if you were looking to eat Indian, you want heavy flavors with spice... Not going to find it here.

    Angela C.

    We went for the lunch buffet on a Friday afternoon. They had a lot of options and ran out of the tandoori chicken pretty much immediately and did not replenish. The one other thing is that the food area wasn't kept very hot so I felt like the food was lukewarm however when they did bring out fresh food, it was very good and the garlic naan that they bring to your table was a nice touch. For $14.99 this is great value for an Indian food buffet. Also love the saag. Service was very good.

    Tried the lunch buffet.. It was really good at a decent price.. I got to try out a few different items. They bring fresh on to the table and it's very good. Also ordered a Lassi on the side.

    I have had Tandoori Corner on my radar for a while, and finally made it in for their lunch buffet, which is only available on the weekends. I'm glad I made the trip. The buffet had a nice selection of both meat and vegetarian options as well as sweets, Freshly made naan was brought to my table, and I grabbed a tasty mango lassi from the cooler. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was bright and clean. Overall and excellent value. Be sure to give this place a try.
