Pretty bare bones in terms of decor and little ambience. Pretty empty, too. The waiter was friendly and efficient but then disappeared for long periods of time. When people came in to pick up their orders, they were confused as to whether to pick it up and go or let the staff know. Some just took their food and other people called out to get someone's attention. I ordered the Reshmi Chicken Tikka platter and everything tasted good but the combination of the naan, rice and chicken was dry and needed some sauce. The dressing for the salad was really good and I could have drizled that over my rice but there wasn't enough. My friend ordered the Alo palak and liked it. Lots of misspelled words in the menu but not a big deal. They can fix it next time around. read more

I ordered from doordash today, so the experience may be different for dine in. For lunch, I ordered the lamb curry, garlic naan, and the rice pudding. The curry was okay, the yogurt was very strong. The garlic naan was good. I really didn't like the rice pudding, it was a different taste, color and consistency from any that I have seen, it was like baby food. In all I probably wouldn't order from here again, there's a lot of Indian restaurants in town to choose from, anyway. read more

Tandoori Grill - Rice pudding - Indian Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Pros: Attached their grocery store Meals are cooked on authentic Tandoor oven - amazing to see naan cooked on it Amazing what they can cook in such a small kitchen Friendly owner and staff Cons: Limited menu dining room could be a bit bigger Pro tip: They do a brisk takeout business, so order early. Definitely get their delicious naan! read more

Tandoori Grill is off of Bethel road right in a strip mall opposite Five Guys. It's a Pakistani restaurant which serves Indian and Pakistani food. Trust me when I say best tandoori (kebabs) in town. The restaurant is small with about 5-6tables but it's run by a very kind gentlemen. Owner is nice and very welcoming, been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Don't go here with high service expectations but go here because you want to try something new that will expand your palate. My recommendations would be Chicken samosas (Appetizer) Tandoori Chicken Chicken Haleem Butter Chicken Do give them a try next time you around the area!! read more

5 stars. Excellent food at very reasonable prices. We had Family Platter (You can pick entrees on platter).

I'm not quite sure they want guests dining in, but we did. They were friendly, but not overly present. & restaurant is not a great ambiance. The food though is fabulous! The naan is amazing. May just order to go next time. read more

Came in and wasn't greeted right away so I ended up standing in the doorway for a bit. The place was clean but pretty bare. The portions were average but a little spicy. Overall ok but I probably wouldn't go back. read more

Took a beef Nihari yesterday along with some tikkas from this restaurant. The price for the nehari was $21.99, but sadly it was full of charbi (fat) with hardly any beef. If you are charging such a high price for your dishes, you need to provide quality food. Was very disappointed to take this nehari from this restaurant. Also, the person who takes the order at the front counter needs to be taught some Customer Service etiquettes as how to welcome and greet Customers. He would not say 'Welcome' or 'Thank You' prior to taking the order and at the time of ringing the Customers out. Terrible Customer Service. You need to hire some decent personnel to interact with Customers, and keep such persons back in the kitchen. read more

Best tandoori chicken roti wrap/roll!!! I have had my share of chicken rolls from around the world, and I'd say the roll I had at TG was top of that list. What a treat with soft tandoori roti with all the extra mint chatni, onions, and cilantro complementing the overall flavor of the tender boneless tandoori chicken. I topped it off with Badam (almond) drink which was served as a dessert at the end. My feedback to TG is to keep innovating how to use their famous boneless tandoori chicken with a wide variety of bread and non-bread options. It's a MUST TRY next time you're in the area. read more

Really disappointed. Their quality has gone down over the years, but never this bad. Ordered a family platter for Father's Day dinner. All the rice that came as sides with the order had gone bad. You could smell that the rice was spoiled right away when we opened the boxes at home. It was too late to go back or call them about it because they had closed. Will not be going back. read more

Tandoori Grill - Indian Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

A friend and I brought a new neighbor there from Pakistan. The new guy would only eat halal meat, and so we looked for a few options. This place looked good and convenient, so we met there at 7:30 for dinner. When we arrived, they told us that they would only do take out and they'd be closing soon so we couldn't eat in the dining room. The website says they're open till 8:30 and doesn't say anything about only takeout. We told the guy we'd eat fast and get out, but he said no. We ended up eating out of to go containers in my friend's car. The quality of the food was good, but that experience really, really stunk. read more

Try the excellent Nihari (slow cooked beef shank in a spicy brown sauce), super tender. I order it every time.

we ate Sunday buffet with paya, nihari, halwa, kheer, puri and naan and tea. very good food and service. Highly recommend it. Azra Hakimi read more

I have tried most of the Indian restaurants in Columbus. Tandoori Grill is among my least favorite. The food is simply not as good, and not worth it even though it's pretty inexpensive. It sometimes looks so old on the buffet. The buffet at lunch is the best value since you get as much as you want, but this is no value if the food looks like shit and tastes worse. I have passed by here many times since there's lots of good restaurants around. It's good there's other places to go. There's several average Indian restaurants near here. It took me awhile to choose this with all the other places, and the first time wasn't that bad. The lunch buffet was the best thing to get here since it's the cheapest and you can get as much as you want. It used to be much better, but now the buffet sucks because there's not much to choose from, and they take forever to refill it. The last time there were only 7 items, and more than half had meat in them. It's about $8 for the buffet. This is cheap for a buffet but it's not that much of anything. I ordered the samosas so I wouldn't have to leave still hungry. The samosas tasted like they were frozen and warmed up. There was spice but otherwise a serious lack of taste in the buffet food. In addition, the service is very poor. The last time there was no one to seat us, and the waitstaff took forever to clear plates and refill water. I would pass by this place and choose another Indian restaurant because there's so many of them. It's still not the worst but it's really bad. The service also sucks so it makes it an easy choice not to come back here. read more

Tandoori Grill - Buffet - Indian Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Went on a family trip all the way from NY. And the accommodation and food was so yummy. Great attention to detail and we were a group of 6 and everyone was satisfied. Thank you read more

I love this place. Is the best Indian Food ever. You will not go wrong with the food and the service. It's top notch in Columbus Ohio.

Love this place! Their Tandoori chicken is delicious. It's so tender, flavored with just the right seansoning, and the green sauce... Don't know what it's made with, but it can go on anything. Think there's a little lemon juice in there. If Paneer is your thing (cheese cubes), their Palek Paneer, with it's spinach sauce is soooo tasty. We enjoy the Garlic Naan as well. We've always done carry out here, and if I'm being honest, I've never seen anyone dine in, the dozen or more times I've grabbed foor there. Great Pakistani food! read more

Prices on menu are not the prices they charge .. meal was much more expensive .. they wouldn't honor their advertised prices .. Lost my appetite. Never will return. read more

I really enjoyed their biryani and naan. It's not hard to get me into Indian food, but they still brought a lot to the table and didn't disappoint. If you're on this side of town, I'd say go for it! read more

Wasn't sure what to expect after reading some of the different reviews. It was our first time dining here and we really enjoyed it. The food was very flavorful and spiced nicely. We tried two new dishes - Dumm Biryani with chicken (Traditional one-dish meal) & Chicken Kabab Karhai with a side of rice. Also tried a sampling of the dessert options. Would go back and have recommended it to friends. They took the coupon we had with no problem. read more

I didn't have a full-on meal here because I'd finished off two orders over at Hang Over Easy about 50 minutes before meeting up with another friend here (she was craving Pakistani food because we've lived for many moons without much food diversity to speak of). Despite being extremely full, I couldn't bring myself to NOT order anything after the menu, so I got the chicken samosas along with a mango lassi (I was somewhat curious about the basil drink, but past reviewers said it was really sweet, so I decided to go with a known favorite). The food here is super tasty and also priced very reasonably! :] Staff was very polite. It took a while to get our check, since there was no one at the register for a while. Good place to go eat and chill if you're catching up with a friend you haven't seen in a long while though! read more

I ordered take out: Alo Palak and two orders of Naan. (I love naan) The entree was delicious, but not very spicy. It was also a little more greasy than most I've had. I'm not sure it will reheat very well at all. It came with rice which was excellently prepared. The naan here is the biggest I have ever had! I was so happy to see such generous portions. And the texture was perfect. I would definitely go here again. You can't beat getting an entree with two naans for only $11. The only negative thing I noticed was that there was nobody around when I came to pick up my food. I stood alone by the register for a few minutes before someone came out. He barely said two words to me also. I'm guessing they were just dead and he was probably really bored lol. read more

Tandoori Grill - Perfect naan! - Indian Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Food was amazing. Garlic naan and Pakistani rice was so good as well as the entrees. Terrible service. One time, I came in 45 minutes before close for dine-in. They kicked me out and said they were closed already. Another time, they gave me a small portion, very inconsistent. They don't like when you come at night. Maybe they should consider closing earlier. I don't like leaving negative reviews, but I really want to eat here again. So I will support their business but give some recommendations to improve. read more

Food was very good we had a very good experience with the buffet. Service was great, will definitely go again.

Ordered food from this restaurant for lunch. The service was really good. Ordered a chicken tandoori wrap which was super good!!! Will definitely order from this restaurant again. read more

This place has fantastic food! The naan was excellent and the butter chicken was right on point. The chef deserves a Michelin Star!

I see a mixed bag of reviews here, but we absolutely loved this place. Honestly, it wasn't our first choice, but Buckeye Pho was so damn crowded and the girlfriend didn't want Min-ga, we settled on Indian. It was a great decision. The place was all but empty on a Friday night, so the service was pretty quick, and we tried a couple of the samosas to start. They're only a $1-1.25, depending on what you get, so I was expecting them to be pretty small, but that was not the case. Before you go ordering 4 or 5 of these, just know that they are fairly big and super filling. Out of the chicken and potato, I'd say the potato was my favorite, and they're filled with all kinds of delicious spices. It's tough deciding on a meal here, because they have so many interesting options, as well as some daring Bizarre Food like entrees like Brain Masala (goat brain). Maybe some day I'll have the courage to give that one a shot, but on this day I went with the goat chops curry and had them make it spicy. This dish is amazing! They give you about 4-5 chops that are tender as can be, and the curry mixed in with the rice and meat was absolutely delicious. Beware of small bone fragments when eating, but you should be able to pick around the few that are there. My girlfriend had the tandoori chicken and absolutely loved it as well. I'm glad to see they're living up to their namesake. A lot of the tandoori chicken I've tried in town has been pretty dry, and that could just be from sitting out on a buffet, but this meat was so delicious. All the great flavors penetrated deep into the meat, and they give you quite a bit of meat, so you won't leave hungry. On a side note, the naan here was delicious! I believe the tandoori chicken comes with naan, but we also ordered a side of the garlic one and loved both of them. Lastly, I always have to order some gulab jamun. They were good, as always, but they're pretty much standard wherever you go. For anyone living close to downtown, this is a little bit of a hike, but it's well worth the drive. There's so many great restaurants in this strip, so it's easy to overlook Tandoori Grill. I don't think the 3.5 stars here really do it justice. This was some of the best Indian food I've had in Columbus. read more

The International Corridor (i.e. Bethel Road) is always a good choice when you're casting about for something to suit your fancy. Tandoori Grill is one of the (six?) restaurants in the first northern strip of storefronts along Bethel at 315. They are connected with Apna Bazaar, the Pakistani grocery next door, evident in the freshness of their food and quality of their meat. We started out with chicken samosas, which were served with a creamy and spicy yogurt sauce. The samosas were crisp and savory. Instead of our usual seekh kebabs, we went with goat biriyani and chicken tikka masala. My tikka was spiced about 7/10 - "American spicy." The meat in both our dishes was fall-apart tender, my chicken fresh enough that I could clean the meat completely off the bones. Their rice is flavorful and they give you plenty. Their staff were plenty reserved, as always, but it is attentive and timely service. They are also happy to answer questions and make recommendations (they have a basil drink that is quite tasty) and they give out free appetizer cards. Definitely worth a try when you're on this side of town. read more

Very good food. Tried the potato Samosas, also Chicken Tikka Masala and Goat Briyani. The Chai was also good. Large portions, good service. The garlic Naan was delicious and is recommended. I have had Indian food many times, but not Pakistani, and want to try some of the other dishes on the menu & will definitely be back. Located across Bethel Road from Micro Center. Waiter was helpful in selecting dishes for first visit. Spice level was just right for me. read more

Tucked into a strip mall on Bethel where it has to compete with Banana Leaf and a few other ethnic restaurants, I'm not sure that Tandoori Grill will be around very long, and frankly Columbus will be worst for it if this restaurant closes. I've been here twice (both visits on week nights, to be sure), and both nights my husband and I were the only customers. The last time I remember writing a view with the purpose of trying to drive business to a restaurant, Bono was still located in the back of a convenience store, but that's what I'm doing now: PLEASE GO TO THIS RESTAURANT. I'm not sure this would be the best place for vegetarians (see aforementioned Banana Leaf instead), but if you enjoy meat grilled to perfection,with tiny bits of blackened goodness on the edges, this is the place for you. My husband is Indian and he raved over the spices, saying this is what it tastes like back home. He was such a huge fan of the biryani that I'm not sure we're going to be eating out at any other restaurants for quite a long time. So far he's tried goat and chicken biryani and loved both of them. I'm kind of meh on biryani in general, so I choose other dishes, and they've been great. I did order the famous Basil Drink, which looks like frog egg suspended in pink liquid. I was expecting a green, basil flavored drink,so imagine my surprise when it turned out to be rose flavored, which I'm NOT a fan of. However, my husband thought his Coconut Drink was too sweet, so we switched and each of us were very happy with the trade. (I thought the Coconut Drink was delicious and made a game of trying to slurp up the bits of coconut suspended in the drink. Two points!) read more

Tandoori Grill - Basil Drink. Really. That's what it is. Not frog eggs! - Indian Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

To give you an idea of how great Tandoori Grill is, we visited there two more times in the week following when we first discovered it as part of the Columbus Food Adventures meat lovers tour. The food there is just that good. Not only that, we will frequently bring our of town guests here when going out to dinner. Everyone has been consistently impressed by the quality of the food. The chicken leg and thigh is probably our favorite dish on the menu and someone, or often multiple someones, will order it on any given trip. The boneless chicken has the same seasoning and is prepared the same way. Thankfully it's not dried out like all too many tandoori chicken dishes you'll get elsewhere. And none of that food dye for coloring, you can tell that all of the color comes from the spices. We've had most of the stewed dishes as well, and they also have been quite good. The korma and the tikka masala have been particularly excellent. As have been the chana masala. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the naan, which is some of the best in the city. Or anywhere really. All of the dishes benefit from the fact that they have actual tandoor ovens. That means, among other things, that the naan is cooked the traditional way--stuck to the side of the oven! read more

I didn't realize till I got my food: I mistook my dish and thought it was going to be "dry rub" tandoori chicken kabobs. It was tandoori chicken chunks with a spicy sauce all mixed in. While the dish wasn't bad, I plan to go back and try the plain 'ol tandoori meat. I also got a side of four Samosas. Now those were great! Meat filled, and I mean FILLED, to the brim. Great crunchy outside texture, and the crumbled meat and spices inside totally satisfied my appetite! Looking forward to next time! read more

I highly recommend the chicken samosas! So tasty and they are the perfect appetizer. I could have easily eaten half a dozen by myself. For an entree, I had the chicken sheekh kabob platter. The chicken was very flavorful - they resemble sausages on the outside, but on the inside the consistency is mushier than you'd expect. The platter comes with rice (a tad dry for my taste), salad, naan, and a delicious yogurt-based sauce to dip (or in my case, pour over the rice). All in all, a good first experience at Tandoori. I will definitely be back! read more

I ordered biryani ,Nan and dal today. It was horrible Nans were totally burnt to its extent hardly chewable. Biryani was terrible tasted stale... Dal was ok you really can't fuck up the Dal if you do then you are a mess. I felt like walking in my Prada heels with a rusty fry pan and spank them .. They seem to be there to make fast money customer service can use some basic training. I hate giving negative feedback but they didn't leave me any choice. now time for to go and barf feeling very sick... No more Tandorri grill for me ..... read more

This was a wonderful restaurant, very small but looked and smelled clean and well maintained. Though our host had an accent that was sometimes a little difficult to understand he was friendly and helpful. The menu isn't huge but is very well priced, and the food was FANTASTIC. The butter chicken was the best I've ever had anywhere, and the chicken qorma was tender and sweet, though it does have bones in it which might not be everyone's cup of tea. I would say they tend spicier, I asked for mild and my paneer tikka masala was almost too spicy, easily a 3 out of 5 at other restaurants. The flavor was still amazing! Our potato samosa was delicious as well, HUGE. I didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this establishment. It was small but well kept, with extremely good food, spotlessly clean tables, friendly service and an economical price point. Next time I am back in town I will be returning! read more

We bought a Groupon and came here to use it. I had trouble spending $20, which was the value of the Groupon. Great value for a good quality food. We had the Basil drink, 2 entrees, and Naan for $20.

Horrible service! The manager is extremely rude! First time there and was very unhappy with our order. Our food was cold and our carry out containers were covered with food. There was food and sauce stuck all over the outside of them. I think most of the food was on the outside rather inside the container. We complained to the manager and he refused to listen. There was no apology. He just yelled something at us and walked away. We definitely will not be going back. read more
