One review closer to being caught up. :) This was for a pick-up order.
Tandoori Grill is nicely located on S Broadway, west of US36, on the SW corner of Broadway and Table Mesa. As such, it was a coin toss for me to bolt down 36, or go the "back way" down 120th and then go north on Broadway. There was no contest as the views down south of Boulder on that road are stunning. Good deal for people in Westminster/Broomfield/Superior like myself.
I ordered vegetable pakora for myself, having become a recent fiend, and found them ok, but not crispy and hot like at Nepal Cuisine or Himalayas. I also ordered cheese naan, which, unlike Himalayas, actually had *some* detectable mild cheddar (?) in it - there wasn't really enough to tell, but at least you could see it in there. The menu says cheddar and mozzarella, I can believe that. Pretty soft and tear-apartable for munching...and soaking in the below sauce...
I had the extremely delicious mango curry with lamb, and *that* stuff is a treat. It's made with mango puree and mango chutney, along with various Indian spices. It's a few dollars pricier than other curry dishes on the menu, but *so* worth it -- everyone should try it at least once! It goes perfectly with lamb (I feel vaguely sorry for the lambs, as that's what my 1st choice seems to be at Indian-esque places...sorry, I can't help it that you're tasty!!! O_O ), which is what I had. They didn't skimp on the lamb chunks either, there was plenty to be had. The steamed rice was fairly unremarkable but maybe it was long-grain...it was hard to tell.
I had phoned in my order so was just there to pick it up; my server was ok but as noted in another review here, seemed to be in robot mode. There weren't any to-go menus to take with, the server said they had to order some more. Meh *shrug* That's what your website is for, I s'pose.
They also make various chilis there out of meats, have tandoori items for perusal as well as biryani dishes, and between 15-20 vegetarian dinners that look pretty tasty. The decor was unremarkable and this was the only Indian/Pak/Nepal/Tibet place I'd been to that didn't have some kind of music laced throughout with that Indian drum (tabla? It sounds like a bongo drum) sound. I found I missed it...seemed more "westernized" and less "exotic/escapist" music than the other places I've been recently.
Got some pics, too.
Will probably be back to sample further, perhaps dining in this time, and also because it's pretty close distance-wise to me. Hopefully dining-in will wow me more than the take-out did -- it was tasty enough, but nothing stood out except the main dish. read more
