Never disappoints! We eat here regularly and it is always delicious. Such a great addition to the mountain community.

A rare gem in Oakhurst! The food was delicious, reasonably priced, and staff were very kind. Ordered tandoori chicken, aloo gohbi, chicken tikka masala curry, and garlic naan. Shout out to Jothi (hostess) and Omi (owner) for checking in on us to ensure we enjoyed our meal! We'll be back whenever we're in town. Would definitely recommend! read more

Tandoori Express - Garlic Naan, Chicken Tikka, Tandoori Chicken, aloo gohbi - Indian Near Me - Oakhurst, California

After a grueling hilke at Yosemite we were super hungry. Indian food restaurant right on the main drag in Oakhurst. It's conveniently located on our path to our Airbnb. Perfect! We ordered take out. Chicken Tika and Butter Chicken. To my surprise, when you buy one of the above orders you get a FREE additional Saucy meals. I chose Lamb Tika. All the food was really good! Even after having to Nuke it in the microwave. The Garlic Naan reheated awesome in the provided toaster oven. Is it the best Indian food? No way. But it hit the spot and I am thankful Tandoori Express is open for the public!!! read more

I had high hopes reading the reviews. But Oh boy wasn't it disappointing. First of all the Gulab Jamuns were rotten. Had that sour smell & rotten taste. We had to spit it out. You can see the image (dark hard center). There were literally no differences between the goat curry & lamb Korma. Again both were very average and both authentic. May be it's their own version but the curries looked and tasted exactly the same. The bread pakoras were really good though. Masala Papad were ehh nothing special. Overall it is a clean nice place with not so good food. read more

Tandoori Express, Oakhurst: 2025 Jul 31 (3.33) I ordered to-go because of my schedule. When I got there, Vansh came out of the kitchen to greet me. Vansh didn't seem like he was in the mood to serve. He was very short with me. (2 of 5) My order: Lamb biryani is a classic South Asian dish featuring tender pieces of lamb layered with fragrant basmati rice, aromatic spices, and caramelized onions. It's a culinary masterpiece that combines rich flavors and textures into one satisfying meal. Unfortunately, the lamb, though tasty, was cold, tough and chewy. The rice was dry and lacked taste and I couldn't find any caramelized onions in my rice, just pieces of onion. (3 of 5) I grabbed a Mango Lassi to-go. Mango lassi is a popular Indian yogurt-based drink made with yogurt, mangoes, and sugar. It is known for its creamy texture and sweet, tropical mango flavor. Today was not a main meal kind of day, but the mango lassi scored a 5 of 5. read more

Surprisingly exceptionally good. I didn't know what to expect however everything had its own flavor a lil different from other Indian Restraunt's I suggest giving them a try if your on your way to Yosemite. read more

Absolutely the worst service you can get at any restaurant let alone Indian Restaurant.. This restaurant is in business only because its the only Indian Restaurant in Oakhurst. The guy who manages it does not know how to run a restaurant or even create basic common sense process of a simple waitlist. When we went twice now, at the small entrance restaurant has, there was utter chaos. Guy on front desk was on phone. Everyone were just making crowd worse inside and outside and when I asked is there any process here. The owner and the cook maybe his name is Vansh came out completely arrogant saying oh dont take anyone names and dont write down anyones names and telling everyone just gets a togo if they want. Then he tells us and I quote "if we have to sit people, then we have to also serve them food" Seriously ? u open a restaurant and dont know how to create waitlist and once seated serve them food. We took togo and food was absolutely mediocre... My recommendation go have round table pizza instead of this oversized egomaniac's mediocre Indian food. read more

Amazing little place for Indian food when you are in the area. I grabbed dinner a few times here when traveling to Yosemite NP! read more

The food was really good and authentic. They don't ask spice level but it's not too much actually just right.

Really enjoyed dinner here tonight! Some of the best Butter Chicken I've ever had! Service was great too! Only thing holding this back from five stars is that it was crazy hot inside in August. Like they just not have AC or their AC was broken. That said, there's something to be said about eating amazing Indian food with sweat pouring down your face! read more

We got into Oakhurst a bit later in the evening and were looking for a quick place to go and grab dinner and Tandoori Express was conveniently just down the street. Located in a mini strip mall in the back, we were able to find parking easily and there were only a couple of other tables outside of us while we dined in. We ordered a chicken tigga app, a butter paneer, and a lamb saag along with some garlic naan. You can a generous portion of rice with your main dishes. Everything we had was flavorful and had a nice blend of spices in it to bring you an authentic curry flavor. I think the chicken tigga was slighly on the salty side but nothing major. I had asked for a chai tea at the beginning of the meal and the guy said he thought they were out but would check. After going into the back, he said they would be able to make this for me so I ordered it. However, they never brought out the drink and outside of dropping off the food once it was ready, they didn't come back and check in on us during our meal so I couldn't let them know I didn't receive the drink until the end. Since we were already done with our meal, I just asked them to remove the drink from our bill, which they did, but there wasn't even any apology for not brining out the item which I thought was a bit odd. read more

Really enjoyed the food. However I wanted Saag Paneer and they were out. Ugh..ordered tea came in paper cup no refill...The chicken masala was very good. Nice chicken pieces tiny amount of onion and a couple pieces of peppers. The noti was fresh and good for dipping in masala and chutney. The rice was good and fresh. Slow evening. Couple carry outs and one other table. They do have beer and wine. Masala : 4.5 Out of stock on dish i wanted -2 Noti :5 Rice : 5 Service 4.5 Tea should be in a pot and at least 1 refill. I would return when in the area. read more

Not bad for a random Indian place in Oakhurst! Came after a day in Yosemite so I was ravenous, and the portions were pretty decent! I got a vegetarian curry (comes with rice), chicken tikka app, and rosemary naan. I couldn't finish it all, but it made for a lovely breakfast the next morning (reheats well). The staff were friendly and helpful. The vibe inside is mid-scale, but they have outdoor bathrooms (reasonably clean) and Indian music videos playing on loop on the TVs. It's conveniently located right off the Main Street, so easy to find. Wouldn't seek it out, but if you're staying in oakhurst it'll do just fine if you want Indian food :) read more

It isn't often that I find food that makes me wish I had a larger stomach. Living in a small mountain town and seeing that it is a franchise, I didn't have high expectations walking in. Imagine my delight and surprise to have some frickin' delicious, authentic Indian cuisine only a short while later! Service was great, people were friendly, and I will be back soon! read more

Tandoori Express - It was GOOD! - Indian Near Me - Oakhurst, California

So grateful for the only good Asian restaurant in this area. Excellent food, great service. Thanks for being here !

Tandoori Express on Oakhurst is a frustrating case of good food overshadowed by exceptionally poor service. I visited with my wife and our 8-month-old son, and after finally settling in--roughly 15 minutes after being seated--we were asked to change tables because the staff wanted to combine tables for a larger party expected to arrive later. In years of dining around the world, I have never been asked to change tables, let alone with an infant. While the dishes themselves were flavorful and well-executed, the service left much to be desired. There were only two servers attempting to manage the entire restaurant, and it showed. The slow pace, lack of attentiveness, and overall disorganization created a very stressful dining environment. It was clear that the restaurant remains busy simply because it's the only Indian option in the area, not because the experience is well-managed. Unfortunately, good food cannot outweigh an experience that is this uncomfortable. Based on the service we received, I cannot recommend Tandoori Express and will not be returning. read more

I love my shrimp butter masala, it's rich and creamy, a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spiciness. This dish would be perfect if fresh shrimp were used instead of frozen ones, but given the location and price, there's not much to complain. Mango lassi is also my go-to drink, so creamy and silky. Garlic naan is crispy on the edge, a bit greasy on the fingers. Staff are friendly. read more

Best traditional indian food i ever had compare to all other Indian restaurants. Taste is very traditiona.

I usually don't leave bad reviews, even when the food isn't great, but the service here was terrible. The staff were rude, unhelpful, and didn't even try to talk to us properly. Between the bad service and the way we were treated, I definitely wouldn't recommend this place. We got Dal Makhani which literally was more water and less dal. And the taste wasn't that great too! read more

This review is long overdue. I am not sure why but before eating at Tandoori Express I had never had Indian food. Anyway, a few months ago my wife and I were invited here for a friends birthday. And we are so glad we did. The flavor of the dishes are amazing. The Lamb dishes are delicious and the meat is so soft, the Mango Chicken or Mango Shrimp are incredibly flavored. This is a hidden gem here in the mountains. We have had so many dishes over the past months. The desserts, the drinks, the Chicken 65. I have not odered anything yet that either my wife or I have not liked. Lastly, the owners are Omi and his wife Vanshu. They are wonderful, down to earth and very hospitable. If you have never tried Indian food and are looking for something new I highly recommend you try this place, you will not be dissapointed. read more

This restaurant is in luck for having no other comfort food nearby so everyone wishes to go eat Indian. There is always a longish wait but I am sure after eating everyone would swear not to eat again in this place. Food lacked taste when we Opted for a Togo order. Absolute waste of money read more

I've had the pleasure of dining here several times over the years and have had a wonderful experience. Everything from the staff to the food was spot on and tonight was no exception! Chicken 65, Goat Curry, Garlic Naan, and a Taj Mahal. My tastebuds and stomach are HAPPY! read more

We were excited to see the crowd, and after a 20-minute wait, we finally got the table. We ordered a full chicken tandoori, which turned out to be a disappointingly small fried chicken. The chicken tikka masala was excessively sweet, the mutton Rogan was salty and bland, and the garlic naan came without any garlic or butter--it was also the tiniest naan I've ever encountered in a restaurant. While the service was commendable, the food left much to be desired in terms of flavor and portion size. Unfortunately, this experience has made us decide not to return. read more

I had such a great experience here! From the moment I sat down, the service was warm and attentive, and the food was absolutely outstanding. The menu has so many tempting options, but I tried a few standout dishes that blew me away. The Chicken Tikka Masala was rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced -- comfort food at its best. I also loved the Chicken Mango, which had a subtle sweetness from the mango pulp that made it unique and refreshing compared to the usual curries. For something bolder, the Goat Vindaloo brought the perfect level of spice and flavor depth without being overwhelming.the ambuance have a clean vibe after yosemite it was heart warming. read more

Was looking for a good lunch spot before heading into the park. Did a search and I was psyched when this place popped up. It's located right on the main drag with parking out front. We got there right after they opened, so we were the only diners there - - not sure if they get a big lunch crowd. Service was friendly and pleasant. The dining area had quite a few booths/tables and a tv. I didn't really care for the food. To be fair, the salad was delicious but the chutneys were watery and lacking in flavor. The food was heavy on onion and missing heat. Maybe they thought by medium, we meant mild. The bathroom is outside and has a code. read more

Cute little spot in the middle of Oakhurst near the community park area, and perfect for an Indian craving if you're on a Yosemite trip. We ordered the butter chicken which you can adjust spice level on, which was perfect for our kids and they enjoyed this dish very much. A lot of chicken chunks and plenty of sauce. We also got naan and the mango lassi which was very good. Takeout takes a while so call it in 20-30 before you need it. They already give you plenty of jeera rice included with the curry order so ordering a side of rice gives you a ton. read more

We were staying in Oakhurst and were very pleasantly surprised at this great Indian fast casual spot. The naan, chicken tikka, and curry was excellent! We liked the food enough that on the same trip we ordered takeout twice because they are also open late and are the only good spot left late at night. read more

TLDR: Mildly flavorful version of authentic Indian cuisine. Servers were great and trying to manage the busy evening rush This was the only Indian place and we were looking to have some comfort food after a long and tiring visit to Yosemite. The food was ok, we tried the paneer tikka, chicken and fish tandoori, chicken masala and the dal tadka. The food lacked the spice and punch the authentic Indian dishes have. They did deliver but chicken seemed a bit under cooked. An extra star for good the chai after a tiring day. read more
