The food is delicious - all cooked perfectly. We had samosas, a poppadom, chicken korma, dal mahkani, and an order of plain naan. The entries were medium spice - we felt the heat but not unpleasant for our taste.The servers were helpful and courteous clarifying questions about the menu. The restaurant was very clean and the paper table covers were changed after each guest finished/left the restaurant. I would have loved some Indian music to go along with that phenomenal meal, but plan to continue to frequent this establishment! read more

Tandoori Grill and Bar at 202 N 2nd Ave, Sandpoint...phenomenal flavored foods!!!My husband and I decided to try this restaurant yesterday after constantly driving past it on the corner! We walked into a very clean establishment with white paper and beautiful copper looking cups on the tables. There was music playing and as we sat in a booth a very sweet young lady brought us menus...wow, the selection is large and looked amazing! We each decided to order the Lunch Special called the Non Vege Combo, one mild and one medium spicy. The flavors were wonderful and hit the mouth with vigor! It was the most flavorful Indian food I have ever tasted and great fun that they have brought this establishment here to our beautiful area! One of these combos could easily feed two people, I knew once I tasted the thin spiced bread with green and sweet sauce that I would want leftovers!!! Please give these amazing folks a try, I truly hope they stay!!! read more

Tandoori Grill - Sandpoint - Lunch Special Non Vege Combo - Indian Near Me - Sandpoint, Idaho

Solid flavors and friendly service. Birani and naan were good. Pani Puri was solid but not top tier (due to heavier cracker for delivery of contents. Chicken Tikka was great quality chicken however yogurt marinade flavors could have been a bit stronger. Overall solid food and service. Very much recommend eating here. read more

Food was the best! Most flavorful! Spicy level we chose one.. it's out of 5.. last time we ate there we chose level 3/4 and we learned our lesson from that! This time We got chicken tikka masala, chicken tandoori tikka( served on a hot skillet with bell peppers and onions- very tasty! Eggplant dish (so flavorful )allo gobi, saag paneer ( absolutely amazing) chicken coconut curry and garlic naan, eggs noodles and mango rice were pretty good but all the other dishes were sooo delicious! This was for our family of 6( two teens) and of course we got some delicious filling mango lassis( big portion) you may want to split it with someone;) also our server Muskan was a good server and kind! You have to come and dine here! You won't regret it! read more

First time coming here and it won't be our last. We were greeted with a smile as soon as we walked in. The booth seats are comfortable. The have a large menu, but all the pictures and descriptions are very helpful. We had the Pesto Naan and it's the Naan we have ever eaten. Light and crispy with lots of flavor. The Beef Tikka Masala has a rich and slightly sweet sauce and the meat was very tender. The Mango Curry Chicken had enough balance if sweet and heats and the pieces of chicken were moist. We ordered both with medium heat and it was the right amount. Can't wait to come back again. read more

Thank you for an excellent meal! We live in Seattle and only have a couple of Indian restaurants we love. It was a pleasant surprise to find such an authentic Indian restaurant in Northern Idaho. The lamb dish I had was tender and full of flavor. Everyone enjoyed their meal. My son loved the Mango Lassie, we loved the raita and chili garlic naan. The basmati rice was very aromatic, light and airy, perfect! I hope everyone in Sandpoint enjoys this amazing gem. It is hard to keep restaurants alive in this economy. Help this family keep Tandoori Grill open by visiting often! They know what they are doing in the kitchen and in the front of house. read more

Every three months, or so, the Wifey and I have a meal that is so much more lightyears above the really good experiences we've had. We eat out, weekly. Oh man, this was great. We know them from their food truck in the Cd'A area, but they've been incredibly smart to open not one, but TWO new brick and mortars in the Panhandle--definitely an area starved for Indian cuisine. I must mention they have beef on the menu, and most Indian restos do not offer it. In chatting with them after lunch, we found out the family bailed from California, for every reason smart people would, and they absolutely love it here in the Inland PNW. We got there right when they opened on Sat AM, and by the time we left they were getting creamed. Lucky, lucky, Sandpoint. Nuff' said... read more

Good food. I'm not a connoisseur, but I thought it was very tasty. Spice level 3 worked for me. Good service. At $21, the lunch special was arguably enough for two, potentially making it a bargain. So why only three stars? Let me turn this around, and make it a question for the restaurant: why were we the only customers during our entire 90-minute visit? Possible explanations: foreign food in a small town. Off-season in a tourist town. Sure. No doubt that's some of it. But I have my own theory: the tip. Let me quote from an online artificial intelligence. My question to the AI: Went to a restaurant. At the end, waitress shows up with a device for payment. Just use my card and then punch a button for the tip. Minimum amount: 18%. Does this annoy people? AI: Yes, this practice is a widespread source of annoyance for consumers. It has fueled a growing frustration known as "guilt tipping" or "tipflation," where digital screens and preset minimums pressure customers into leaving larger gratuities than they otherwise might. ... A 2023 survey by Capterra found that 50% of consumers felt tricked or pressured into tipping when using a checkout tablet. ... 70% of consumers now report feeling that they are asked to tip far too often, leading to widespread "tip fatigue" and resentment toward the payment process. My question: This was an Indian-owned, obviously family-owned business. Does being forced to tip the proprietor influence consumers' reactions? AI: Yes, being prompted to tip the proprietor significantly amplifies consumer annoyance and fundamentally changes how people react to the transaction. When the person handing you the payment screen is the owner, it clashes directly with traditional customs and heightens the feeling of being nickel-and-dimed. ... According to long-standing tipping etiquette, customers are not expected to tip the owner of a business. ... While some customers are happy to leave a little extra to support a small, local business, the presence of an aggressive digital prompt--especially one with a high preset minimum like 18%--usually overrides that goodwill. The social pressure of "guilt tipping" is much more uncomfortable when the person staring at you across the counter is the owner who directly benefits from the upcharge, making the technological nudge feel entirely inappropriate. In short, Tandoori Grill: yes, you managed to chisel me for that extra 18%. Congratulations. How clever. In exchange, you completely changed the tone of the experience. I left feeling like you had cheated me. Is that why there aren't more locals in this restaurant? I dunno. Then again, it's not my problem. But this won't be the location of my next meal out. read more

I love tandoori grill! Every time the dishes are cooked perfectly and so delicious. Highly recommend butter chicken and fresh garlic nann! Also the pesto naan! Musgan (spelling) always takes such good care of me. If you're looking for great tasting Indian cuisine come give them a try. The space is clean and beautiful and service is fantastic! All of the food came out so fast and every bite was satisfying. read more

The wife and I had to try this after her job had them cater a lunch for them. The restaurant is nice and cool decor. The staff was nice but it was a bit difficult to understand them. Super thick accents and our hearing in busy environments isn't the best. That is my only negative on this place. The food was amazing and very well prepared. Taste and spices were beyond measure. We didn't know what 95% of the items were, but they all sounded good. We were more than pleased with our selections and for sure will be going back many times. read more

Really amazing flavors! The restaurant is very quaint and cozy and the service is great. I think this will be my go-to restaurant whenever I come to Sandpoint. read more

I've been to their food truck before and already knew this would be the BEST Indian food available in the area. We ordered the butter chicken and chicken tikka masala, along with two orders of butter chicken. Every entree order comes with basmati rice (flavored with cumin - delicious!) We ordered the butter chicken hottest and the tikka masala hit. Next time we would both ask for extra spicy - but we're a glutton for spice. I think the spice levels are great for the area, the butter chicken was just spicy enough to make me sweat a bit but i want a little more torture lol. the garlic naan was AMAZING and so huge! You could def get away with sharing one serving. The service was so polite, prompt and great. We had our order within 15 minutes of placing it inside - while the place was packed! it was really cool to see everyone enjoying eating inside. i even overheard people talking about how much they loved their food (the goat curry - and they've never had goat before). it was a super great take out experience :) read more

This is our favorite restaurant in town! Tasty food, friendly service. Everything's always fresh and flavorful.

We ordered to-go and everything was hot, delicious, with large portions. We had 2 curry entrees, aloo tikki chaat, and naan, which was plenty for two meals for two adults. Very happy with everything. The interior was super cute too! read more

So delicious! Very impressed with the flavors, naan bread and service was great. The ambience was good too.

Oh my gosh! I had lunch here today and it was amazing! The Aloo Gobi was the best I've ever had. And the Go I Manchurian was even better! So good! The are opening another restaurant in my hometown and I can't wait! read more

Authentic fresh and well priced Indian food. Sounds like a chain but not run like a chain or chain food. The atmosphere is comfortable, clean. Service is professional, fast and kind. Hearty servings, my husband and I split. I highly recommend if looking for flavorful food. I like the paneer dishes and veggie fritters. My husband wants to go back and get more lamb, said it melted in his mouth. read more

Wonderful place to enjoy delicious Indian food. The ambience is very nice--comfortable, clean, and welcoming, making it a great spot for both families and casual dining. The food was excellent, full of authentic flavors and cooked perfectly. Every dish we tried was fresh and well prepared. What really stood out was the people--very friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place if you're in Sandpoint and looking for great food with a warm atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! read more

Food was super bad. We order Chicken Tikka Masala, meat was like rubber and cold. The sauce was dark red. I assumed it was several days old. We rejected and she cooked a new one. This time chicken was tender, sauce was much lighter color but no taste at all. Chicken biryani was not fresh it was heated but not evenly. Even naan was not fresh. Mango lasse was the only good item. Communication is a big problem, however one lady was able to tell us 2 times a week different chef works there. I hope we are not going to have food poisoning... I will not go there again. it was around $60.00 for two people..what a waste! read more

Food is amazing, truly. Have had it four times since its opened, and have had indian food all across the country and this is among the top of the tops. The butter chicken is great, we get 5/5 spicy. the chicken tikka masala and tandoori chicken are also amazing. the naan is out of this world - huge, cheap, and loaded with garlic. The interior is really cozy as well. Locally owned, by amazing people that work hard. It's pretty ridiculous to leave a bad review when you haven't gotten to try to food, but even more ridiculous to create an entire account just to tarnish a businesses rating... right around when the mango tree opened? anyways guess thats a typical californian transplant for ya! also speaking of the mango tree - tandoori grill is MUCH better for cheaper!! def recommend them. read more

Went there today for Valentines Day. Very short wait, very good food. We got the lunch special and we're stuffed. I'd highly recommend it. The atmosphere seemed off though and there was parchment tape on all the tables. Besides that, absolutely great! Would eat again! read more

This was the first time myself my husband and my son have ever been to an Indian restaurant and it was delicious! We got to choose mild, medium or hot for each dish, which was nice. The service was fantastic and the food came out fast. Comfortable booths to sit in. read more

The butter chicken and garlic naan as fantastic. I ordered mild but it did have a nice spice to it. I will definitely be back.

Great service. Very average Indian food. Sadly would not return. The lady who serviced our table was very kind and attentive.

This place is pretty great. The chicken tikka masala is wonderful, the coconut chicken curry, not so much. The vegetable samosas and garlic naan are top notch. My husband and I come here frequently. They're pretty new, so I think they'll work out any kinks they have over time. They're not perfect, but they are good. Tad better than Mango Tree. read more

my first time trying indian food. had the delicious goat korma - the goat was perfectly done. service was amazing and the vibe in here was just great. will come back again next time i'm in town read more

The food was so delicious, they are new to brick and mortar and new to taking table orders, so patience is key, but once the order was placed it came out surprisingly fast and hot. I went with 10 people and ordered over 350$ in food and The food is so authentic and real because the staff working there are authentic and real. Sonny is the owner operator and he's running around doing his best to convey the menu to the under cultured Sandpoint folks. If having an actual accent from India is going to bother you, go back to your shit burger hole you don't deserve the food. The atmosphere was very chill, no loud music no blaring TV. I have had goat all over the world literally from here to Florida to Baghdad. This goat was incredible. Lamb kabobs chicken masala was perfectly spiced and so juicy. I am so stoked for the opportunity to eat somewhere good in Sandpoint. read more

Great experience. Ordered takeout. Staff was friendly. Food was really good and big portions. Definitely will go back again.

The best Indian food in Sandpoint. The butter chicken is my fave but my husband loves the beef tikka masala. The service is always good and the ambiance is nice. Super authentic and yummy! read more
